I use a Cougar for FSX, works great. Cougar World has message boards, and the community there is very helpful. If your having problems, you may need to provide more information. The Cougar is highly customizable, so handles like C may not help anyone help you with your problem :)

A few tips to get started. Make sure you have the newest firmware (You can find this on Cougar World). Do a good Manual Calibration. There is a good help file in Foxy that explains calibration. The Joystick file sounds old, and could switch to auto calibration.

You've got to be kidding?!

I just got a Cougar this past Monday and it's fabulous.

I was lucky to get it on sale at CompuUSA.
They are going out of business. I was shocked!

You need either a config file that works, or you have to make your on.

You obviously are used to the way a CH works; but it's time to adapt to something else.

In my humble opinion TM is much better and drastically more sophisticated than any CH.
