Hi new to the scene... If any1 has experience in this matter, I have a Cougar Thrustmaster brand new and when I play lock on the damn configuration never works sometimes it doesnt even pick up my throttle and when it does the throttle doesnt work and a few buttons on the yoke.. My Cougar works well with Strike Fighters cause i can customize each button to my licking within the game. i even use profiles from what ppl are using for the Cougar in lock on.. somehow i just feel as if the game doesnt pick up the HOTAS... i have foxy running, i turn off foxy to try it as well and nothing... also using Foxy is abit to complex for me i dont understand it to well... Now that T.A.R.G.E.T. has come out with and supports the COUGAR, has the COUGAR been imrpoved with this application considering its new software for Windows 7? Has T.A.R.G.E.T. improved the COUGAR in any form of way? i am unable to tell as i am not in my Home State where my pc and Cougar is. I am on the verge of getting a Saitek x52 pro to just end all my problems that i am having with the COUGAR and its software. but would like to know before i buy it, is the COUGAR been resolved or fixed for newer machines with Thrusmasters new software?

I own a Thrustmaster Cougar love it but the issue is u need Pedals seperate to the HOTAS and i have possible software issues. eg Lomac i cant play the game not matter how much i fiddle and reprogram it. the assigned buttons and throttle are just giving me hassles. When i play Strike Fighter series games then i have no issue with the HOTAS at all... Sadly as much as i love the Cougar and how strong it feels i am forced to move towards Saitek as their software is alot more current, up to date and not really a hassle with any game from what i heard from Strike Fighters Community. some ppl are struggling with their Cougars.... Warthog is awesome incredible stick but after a couple of years i can see the same problem with it like the Cougar... software and driver issues even if u used profiles. Saitek 52 Pro is the way to go its alot more user friendly and a great HOTAS....
