Pack of 2 multifunctional "USB Cockpit Panels", replicas of the U.S. Air Force F-16 MFD*

For diehard flight simulation fans, Thrustmaster is proud to offer a pack of 2 MFD Cougar modules, taking users another big step towards total immersion in flight sim games. The ideal companions for joysticks and yokes on the market, the MFD Cougar Pack lets virtual pilots enjoy more realistic flight conditions than ever before.

The MFD Cougar is a panel of buttons and switches onto which the user can program their choice of functions for any given game. This revolutionary device therefore provides shortcuts which are far more practical and intuitive than the standard method of using a keyboard and mouse for various actions in games.

The MFD Cougar modules from Thrustmaster are replicas of those found onboard the legendary U.S. Air Force F-16 jet fighter aircraft. They are compatible with all military or civil flight simulation games supporting multi-USB.

Each of the 2 MFD modules in the pack features 20 buttons and 4 switches, for a total of 56 programmable controls! 2 programmable LEDs per MFD facilitate identification, in particular during programming phases. The programming interface can even accommodate up to 8 MFD modules at the same time. Finally, each MFD module features an internal memory, which saves all of your settings and preferences… even when used on a different computer.

Replicas of those found onboard the legendary U.S. Air Force F-16 jet fighter aircraft.

Versatile, high-performance design!

The MFD modules feature a multi-position base, allowing users to adjust them to the perfect viewing angle. They are also weighted and equipped with non-slip grips for complete stability when using the controls. Both MFD modules are also detachable from their base: users can therefore attach them to a monitor if they wish, or to the inside of a simulated cockpit…

The buttons are backlit and feature adjustable intensity (via the software or manually), allowing users to adapt the backlighting level to their preferred conditions and gaming environments.

The installation CD contains plug-ins which instantly configure both MFD modules for the Microsoft games "Flight Simulator 2004" and "Flight Simulator X", with a choice of 3 presets: Generic/Light Aviation/Airliner: each control on the MFDs will be preconfigured for these games.

Each MFD module comes equipped with Plexiglas windows, between which the user can insert one of the 10 preprinted cardboard cutouts included in the pack. The different presets for Microsoft Flight Simulator X are indicated on the cutouts, and blank cutouts are also included for customization with any other game.

Fun:   
I received my Cougar MFD's recently and was eager to install them. I had been considering buying another set of Quickshot MasterPilots which I'd used in years gone by, but sadly, they're not USB and they're a real pain in the butt to setup. Having said that, the MasterPilots were brilliant once you'd done the legwork.

The Cougars on the other hand, are a piece of cake to install, but are pretty much useless as a programming device because they're simply not programmable!! If you're thinking of buying these and then assigning keystrokes to all the buttons - forget it! You can't. Instead, they have some built-in profiles for Microsoft Flightsim. That's fine if FS is your bag, but not much use if you fly Falcon or IL2, etc. There are RUMOURS that Thrustmaster are going to do something to make these MFDs programmable, but when/how I don't know.

Anyway, I bought these SOLELY to use with DCS A-10C Warthog and I'm pleased to report that DCS have incorporated these devices (along with TM's new HOTAS) into the simulation and they work PERFECTLY in mirroring the functionality of the MFCD's in the cockpit. But I'd still much prefer to be able to assign my own keystrokes to each button, so come on TM!!!

As for construction and overall quality, they just cannot be beaten! Absolute tip-top gear and at a price that is just incredible (I'd have paid another £50 for flexible programming though). The units have "non-slip" pads to stop them moving around on your desk, but let me tell you - it doesn't work - get some Blu-Tak!

Overall, I am over the moon with the Cougar MFD's. A real nice bit of kit at a great price.

Tom.

Thrustmaster MFD's 29 Oct 2010

Thrustmaster Replica U.S Air Force MFD Cougar Flight Panel Duo Pack (PC)

Bought these to use with DCS A-10. Great product does exacty what you expect it to do.
On top of that it really is 100% plug and play. Didn't read the manual or install the software.
Worked straight out of the box, at least with DCS A-10, not tried it with anything else yet.

Very well made and I think a fair price.

Great accessory 9 May 2011
By Pat
Fun:   
These again are a great, well built product from thrustmaster. I use them with DCS A-10C and is perfect for creating that extra bit of realism and interaction. I have them mounted directly onto my monitor with the simulation MFD screens placed perfectly behind. This is down to a modified .lua monitor config file in game. DCS A-10C forums are a great place to find out how to do this if you'd like this kind of setup. My setup is of course with the stands removed from the back if the MFDs. You can have them free standing with the supplied heavy weighted stands or mounted onto a screen or cockpit without. They feature a slot for you to slide in a custom screen print of an MFD screen of your own if you wish. I like the adjustable LED intensity feature which is perect to make them fit into high or low level surroundings. Recommended purchase.
