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.

A Photoshop Template for the Thrustmaster Cougar MFDs.

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.

I made a simple Doc and PDF file of the Cougar MFD inserts. It will print to the correct size if you keep the settings in MS Word and in a PDF viewer. The insert can be printed and you can fill in the blocks, or you can use the PDF's 'Annotation' function to fill in the blocks for printing. I include a sample of the latter.

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.
