User Files

This script for the HOTAS Cougar/Warthog and Cougar MFDs includes dedicated profiles for almost all DCS modules, including "AWACS Mode" for use with the F10 view or LotATC. The script is fully implemented with both code and custom keyboard and joystick LUA files. The included "Standard DirectX" profile can me used to create a versatile profile for anything else.

Supports DCS 2.5+ and DCS 1.5.8 Legacy configurations

Special thanks to the Virtual Armed Forces for hosting CTS.  The VAF is a great group for (primarily) PvE multiplayer in DCS.  Check out www.virtualarmedforces.com.

This profile was designed in a way that keeps your hands off the keyboard and on the HOTAS in a well thought out manner. The profile has went through many testing cycles and this is the final version. I can assure you can take off, conduct a sortie and land without resorting to your keyboard. Please have a look at the attached configuration sheet.

Adobe Illustrator (*.ai file) template for Thrustmaster Cougar inserts. To use and edit this template you need to have Adobe Illustrator or any other vector graphics tool which can handle .ai files.

Template for the TM Cougar; updated, sorted the left PRT as in the Ka-50.<br />
Update 31.12.2019: added a blank template without star and one with an ingame picture of a Ka-50 with eagle skin, available here in user files (not from me).

Here is a simple XCF file that you can edit with the free graphics program called GIMP,  it has a layer with a grid to align stuff, and a layer with an image of the MFD to see how it will look.

I made a fillable PDF form for the T.16000M so you can quickly and easily try out different mappings and make a reference document.

So here's my F/A-18C profile. It uses rudders and trackIR so those functions aren't bound on the joystick but can easily be added.

The scroll wheel for radar elevation works by having a dead zone set, leave the wheel relatively centered to stop it moving and 100% up or down to move radar elevation up or down. It's also bound on modifier spots of speedbrake button but not shown on the diagram.


Edit: I included a screenshot of my axis tune panel for the radar elevation control. (Deadzone:  20 Sat X: 100 Sat Y: 30 Curvature: 20)

The dispenser bypass switch has to be held down to put it in bypass mode, so for example to use flares you have to hold the hat left while flicking it forward to flare.

Updated to work with the new beta, also added throttle lift binds but are not on picture.

This is my config for T.16000M in combination with TRACK IR and pedals, let me know if you need help configuring it for use without.

The image is a little rough but it should be readable.

This is based on Nunupts user profiles which I use in most other modules. I also took some inspiration from NOiDs Warthog profile and Chuck's Harrier guide, so shout out to all the above!

Any feedback on improving it or if I left something out let me know!

V2: I added water mode and FLAPS controls to improve VSTOL, removed redundant nozzle up and down because I consider the knob a far superior way to control the nozzle (go team venture!)

V3: Swapped sensor select down: hud scene reject/tgp with AG target undesignate/NWS/FOV toggle, it makes more sense having lock and unlock on the same key but with modifier. Also added reverse ext lights with modifier. Added Nozzle STO stop to slider on joystick
