Hello,

Noob needs expert advice...

On my Cougar HOTAS throttle the antenna elev and range knob are switched...weird, anyway, I tried
switching them via the HOTAS control panel (flip flopping the 2 +'s in 3 and 4 position (i think is was 3 & 4) but that didn't seem to do anything but to be fair I really don't know what I'm doing on the computer part of the sim anyway. I don't know if I was supposed to re-flash the stick or load a new program or what. I did have to reverse the throttle from + to - and that seemed to work but when I go into manual calibration the
antenna and range are switched...also it doesn't detect the micro switch.

I was reading in the Roxy Help about a 'USE SWAP (ant, rng) command or something but all that editing
script thing was really intimidating. If I need to learn it I will but I was hoping it was as easy as reversing the
throttle axis.

Thanks in advance..

Erm, have you tried setting this up correctly in the Setup > Controllers > Advanced > Avionics Control? You can set up your Radar Antenna and Range Knob axis in there.

Hope that helps!

You can switch the knobs in the F4 BMS Control panel.. To get the Radar cursor switch you need to activate the toe brakes in F4 Control panel.. here is a screenshot:

You just need to switch the function for the controller knob you want to use for.

OIC...

I did get it working. I went into Foxy and downloaded a Red Dog program and after I did that something changed
in the setup (I think the Range knob started working) but the Ant still wasn't so I kind of did what you are talking
about and started playing with those drop-down menu choices and it works!
Thanks everyone for all of your input, I really appreciated it.
