Cougar Mode:
After downloading the Profile into the Cougar memory, make sure that on the Cougar Control Panel the mode "Button & Axis emulation" is ON (green).
Where to put the Files:
Put the four files of this Profile, on the folder Program Files (x86)\HOTAS\Files.
Headtracking:
This Profile is designed to be used along with Headtracking. 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.

4) The throtle's Microstick, is used for controlling the two dials of the Gunsight: The Range Dial and (when shifted with S3) the Wingspan dial.
5) 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.
