Anyone using Thrustmaster Cougar Flight Panel with Elite?

Basically, one of these:

I've got an A10 Warthog Throttle+Stick, so I technically have all the buttons and switches I need, but...shiny!

Thanks. Are you using them as just button panels (for things like cargo scoop, landing gear, chaff etc) or are you also using an MFD with them?

Yep, i'm using them in addition to my hotas warthog, these are great.
I did not configure all of them yet :)

i consider the first one mainly for combat while the second is more dedicated to exploration (i've added the scoopable stars on it)

Very Nice Cmdr, how did you do the inserts (Button Titles)? do these come with software to print out your own card inserts?

Also love your spelling of VEHICULE (VEHICLE) :) :)

Depends : landing gear, cargo scoop, shield cell banks, heatsink is directly set on the hotas while chaff, FAoff and silent running is set on the joystick

on the second one i've added : open galaxy map, open system map, jettison all cargo, orbit lines on/off and rotational correction

I'm sort of tempted because I can get a two-pack for £50 from Amazon...I'm just painfully aware that I don't really need them.

My current setup looks like this:

errr, might have reach my limits with the Shakespeare language :p

i found the original file on these forums but i can't find where it was, you can modify this one (.odg) you will need open office to edit them
they give you 6 cardboard pre-printed but it's not ideal, they give 4 transparent card as well, you can "squeeze" your image in between and slide it into the panel

You don't need them, this is 100% accurate... But they need you ! :p
I was a bit reluctant for the same reason at first, but no regrets, they match perfectly with the warthog

Thank you. It wasn't my intention to start something that might be a duplicate, so I'm sorry if that's the case.

Always been tempted by these but I think slightly put off because a) there's no way I need them buttons and it'd be frankly for unusual macros, and b) no cardboard insert will have the cool factor of a functional radar.

Not making an issue of duplication - just pointing at another rhread on the topic.

I've been using two "MFD"s for a while now - now with added (static for the moment) display in the background as I've mounted them side-by-side on a 11.6" 16:9 monitor.

true

but you can still do that (i don't know what could work for elite in that case)

around 30sec
