Thanks, i will keep it as last resource, because bring it from europe become way more expensive that from USA.

How are the "switches" on those things? Do they hold their position or are they just two way buttons?

There are two ways buttons.

IF you release it, returns to neutral position.

335th_GRSwaty... Well, I tried the MFDs on FSX. Yes they are shown as available "controllers" along with Cougar. But, I am not able to achieve an asignment of an FSX key to an MFD button.. I am definitely missing something.

335th_GRSwaty. Well, I tried my MFDs with FSX again, several times in fact...no luck. The MFDs do show up as available "controllers" but I am unable to assign a FSX key to a MFD button. I am definitely missing something. Probably something really obvious that I can't see..bah.

335th_GRSwaty. OK thanks! I have been able to make MFD assignments in FSX.

Nice!

By the way,do you use any instrument extractor program?

335th_GRSwaty: No. In fact, I have no idea what an instrument extractor is. I am a newbie in the flight sim arena. I am going to check the web on that.. sounds interesting.

My favorite simulator is IL-2 (90% of my sim-time) and I fly FS 2004,Lock On and Falcon from time to time.

There is an excellent program for Falcon named MFD Extractor (from lightning)

And Lockon External Avionics 2.0 on development phase for FC2 (from =RvE=Yoda)

I am sure there will be a similar software for FSX.

335th_GRSwaty: Speaking of IL2, Forgotten Battles implemented the MFDs in what I would consider a superior way. Not only is the specific button identified, e.g. "OSB06" but so is the specific MFD unit where, say "1" is the joystick, "2" is left MFD, and "3" is the right mfd. For example, you get a button id as "OSB06ID2" the ID 2 saying that it is the left MFD, in this case. So far, I cant tell which MFD was used when I look at FSX assignments. Labeling the MFD paper templates is fine, but looking at the FSX "controls" screens I can't tell if e.g. button "06" was the MFD1, MFD2, Or Thrustmaster joystick button. I know of at least one other sim that implemented the MFDs like in IL2 Forgotten Battles..but forgot which one it was that I saw.
