HELP! my antenna and range rotaries are switched and I cant figure out how to get them switched back. i also need to reverse the throttle axis (modded the throttle handle so if faces backwards). I can do it with the 'reverse' button in the 'controller' section of the setup screen in f4af but cant find where to reverse it in bms. I have looked at the foxy programming but not sure if i want to undertake that without knowing exactly what to do (never messed with it before, it looks a little overwhelming). any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

EDIT. forgot to mention that the antenna rotary IS recognized as the antenna in the setup screen in f4af but the problem is in the cougar control panel when you do a manual calibration, the antenna and the range are switched! strange

Check the Hotas Cougar Control Panel



IIRC, setting an axis to a [-] here reverses it, but it's been a while.

You could also try TARGET...the GUI mode is a lot easier to work with than Foxy for simple stuff.

Thanks Teej....ur a stallion. That worked like a charm for the throttle. Do u know what the deal is with
the antenna rotary being recognized in the f4af controller setup page as the antenna but being switched
with the range/cage rotary in the manual configuration setup in the cougar configuration console?

Not offhand. It's been nearly 2 years since I seriously worked with a Cougar. Only time I've had Foxy loaded was to check things. Some of those details are starting to fade. Heheheh.
