Guys, I have a Question regarding that Thrustmaster MDF cougar pack I guess some JG1 Pilots might have in use:

Thrustmaster MFD Cougar Pack - Pack mit 2: Amazon.de: Computer & Zubehör

 Point is: Up to now I never took a close look on this device as I thought these are really some displays specially designed for Jet Simulators.

But as I understand it now after checking more in detail, those are simply 2 additional game controllers with plenty of additional assignable buttons => Is this the case?

And if yes: Do they work in IL2 BoX? Because if this is the case I finally found what I was looking for eternities and even at a very reasonable price!! 🙂

So anyone of other JG1-Oseau-Pilots have them in use and can confirm if they are working with IL2-BoX?

Thanks / Salute

Yes and Yes.

Basically button boxes and plug / play. I just slide a piece of paper into the middle and write what the buttons do..."bomb bay" , "Boost", etc. I did make a photoshop with text boxes to print up for individual games but I've been too lazy recently to fill it in and print. Maybe in the future.

Cool.... I think for ~80 Euros I'll grab them then.... 🙂

Many Thanks

Etzel,

I use them, great for extra buttons, map, etc.

S!

Meanwhile I have them also in use and I am very happy with them 😉

 

First one and 3 months later the second of mine died. No physical evidence of why... flexing wires had no change. Oh well... over 5 years old and relatively inexpensive. Another two on order but 1 week out.

Ive got an used MFD (just 1). Free to a good home if anybody wants it? 

With the CH Control Manager program no longer supported, I’ve ditched my CH multifunction panel which also hasn’t been supported in years and relied on Control Manager to function. I’ve ordered a Thrustmaster MFP Cougar pack as a replacement.  Looking forward to trying it out.
