Sure, whatever you say :rolleyes: :
I think Guillemot's past and current PR and 'support' speak for themselves :D ...

(...and it's hard to argue with someone/thing who/that simply is absolutely absent,
both mentally as well as morally :rolleyes: - Q.E.D.!

Do you really happen to believe we'll see an update?
Won't you call me a liar again if I'd ask TM about any news on this topic?!)

Careful there... you're showing your ignorance again (just as you did in the CW thread that was pulled).

Feel free to post your question about an update at CW.  I'd be willing to bet that your post will be locked or pulled.  And not because folks don't want to address the issue... because of who makes the post.

How come everybody can figure this out... except you?  You've simply burned too many bridges, you've offended too many people.

Alright ladies, don't you have anything better to do?  Here's a suggestion.  Don, go write a file so complicated that it would take a top Nasa scientist to decipher it.  Even, package one of your kits up and mail it to me.  Or you could both start discussing how much CH Products sucks and get some CH loyalists in here to have a proper joystick discussion!  :D

Actually, the matter is not whether "it would take a top Nasa scientist to decipher it" ;)
but simply whether the compiler is able to do what it should according to the manual :p ;
it doesn't, I reported it and asked to please fix it and was not content with getting ignored -
and by this I have "burned too many bridges" and "offended too many people" :confused: ?!?
Hey, actually I'd have thought that such things would only happen to Saitek-users :rolleyes: ...

Oh, BTW, if you're curious to see what WOULD be possible
if only TM would release the bug-fixed compiler,
feel free to take a look at the files we're talking of
(for EvilStalk I should add another "f", though)
and judge yourself whether it's too much asked to just release a work that's already done...

BTW, while your suggestion to start another flame-war with (or was it against :rolleyes: ) CH-users...
well, THEY have Bob Church ;) -
and HIS support always HAS rocked, still DOES rock and always WILL rock :cool: ;
too sad he's no longer working for TM - for us TM-users, that is,
because for the CH-users that's a heaven-sent gift :D !

Is Bob employed by CH Products now?  If so, way to go Bob!  And way to go CH...he's a very talented guy and Thrusty's past products wouldn't have been near as great without him.  I dunno why the new TM/Guillemot didn't hire him for the Cougar.

-edit- Oh, and I forgot ... CH Sucks!  ;)

Yep, Bob's working for CH since quite a while now.

In fact, with his current CH Control Manager 2.0 and the included new scripting language
the CHs theoretically can do much more than the TMs will ever learn -
unbelievable, I know, after CH's decade-long chase to at least haunt (if not hunt :D ) TM!

However, I said "theoretically" because it's much easier with TM's syntax
(and much more 'compatible': a CH-scipt for dis stick won't necessarily run on dat stick -
actually, not even necessarily for the same stick but with a different rudder...)
and up to now there simply isn't any CH-user around really capable of using these means
(let alone really imagine the potential :D ).

Anyway, while Bob was working for the original TM
(as opposed to nowadays' Guillemot-run alibi-brand)
and later (well, still, for that matter) with his digital upgrade chipset,
his support was and is top-notch: quick replies, professional help and solid bug-fixed updates -
if it's a crime nowadays to be used to this and miss it, then I sure AM guilty :rolleyes: !

[edit]
Oh: yep, CH sucks ;) (that's what keeps me stickin' to TM :D ...)!

Well from what I'm reading here, I'm glad I didn't get a Cougar. I hate to buy something that's so screwed up and the manufactor will not support any needed fixes.

Actually, even WITH all its woes and flaws :rolleyes: the Cougar NEVERTHELESS is way superior to whatever you might be using :D !
