Yup, I got it the day it came out, no more dropping USB since then, but its only been a few days.

BTW, version 3.11 is recently out for Track IR :D

But Can I run it on my never updated cougar? I pre ordered mine, and have updated nothing, no firmware and or software updates.

Wasnt their an update that could kill your cougar?


My cougar never drops USB signal, and the only problem I have with it is pretty bad slop when centered.


I think when it dies I am going CH, and using the Laz mod!

Firmware version 2.04 came out last fall and many of us lost the Z-axis potentiometer soon afterwards. Theory is the firmware did it, but I think it was coincidental. I mean there's no way the firmware update in the stick could have fried a pot in the throttle. But the new firmware gives you a warning when you run it and the throttle is connected.

Think I should update the firmware? My setup works well for me now, and firmware and software is not going to fix the slop(I can live with it, and am not willing to pay for all the cool, but to pricey aftermarket fixes)
