Where to put the Files:

Track IR
This Profile is designed to be used with TrackIR. It has no buttons setup for view control.
Rudder Pedals
Since I dont have Rudder pedals, I've designed this profile so that the ANT rotary can be assigned as Rudder, since it's easy to control using your thumb. Assign the Axis on Option-Controls within DCS.
Special Functions of this Profile:
1) Even tough the I-16 has no trim feature, I've enabled the button S2 to work as a trim-button. To use, simply manuallly adjust the desired flight attitude of the plane and then quickly press and release the S2 button, then release the Stick and the airplane should now be trimmed. It may take a couple of tries to attain a perfect trim.
2) Press simultaneously the buttons S3, S4 and the Trigger (TG2) of the Joystick, during half a second, to initiate the Bailout sequence.
3) The Cougar has a dual contact trigger (TG1 and TG2), this Profile uses the second contact to fire the machine guns, the first is not used, so when firing be sure to press the trigger all the way.
4) The RNG rotary can be used as RPM control, Assign the Axis on Option-Controls within DCS. However, its T6 button is used to maximize the view zoom.
5) The profile requires some special bindings to be made by the user on DCS:
Landing Gear Handle, Up : Assign to button T7
Landing Gear Handle, Down : Assign to button T8
(you may need to put OFF the "Button & Axis emulation" on the Cougar's Control Panel in order for DCS to detect the button press)
6) To raise or lower the Landing Gear you first press button T10 to set the varios locks of the landing gear to the next sequence. The sequence is as follows: prepare to raise landing gear -> finish raising landing gear -> prepare to lower landing gear -> finish lowering landing gear. Once the landing gear is on the desired sequence, then you press either T7 to crank the landing hear handle up or T8 to crank the landing gear down. When the landing gear has reached the desired position, then put the T7-T7 switch on the middle position and then use T10 to advance to the next sequence.
