It's not hard to convert any pedals to work however, if you aren't scared to re-wire the pot. I also use pedals plugged into the gameport of my Cougar (which is under control of TARGET) and it's super easy, but you can only do it with RCS pedals unless you want to do a little converting to other pedals. Currently if you are using mouse emulation this way, it interferes with TrackIR making it unusable
There is a ray of light here too, that we will soon (no, really) have actual native absolute inputs, which will be glorious. I also have visual diagrams of the layout to make it easy to learn them. Really useful things like on-the-fly sensitivity changing, sensitivity automatically scaling with advanced zoom, logical/intuitive button grouping/mapping with a shift layer as well, etc. I've transitioned others to TARGET and can give you pointers to make it easy if you like (it's way less convoluted than Foxy actually), and beyond that I have Cougar specific scripts that have been refined over 6500 matches that I'd be happy to share. In TARGET for instance, I use minus 12 on the y axis and minus 11 on the x axis at my normal gain setting.įor some reason, sensitivity is higher on the y than the x so it takes a little bit more toning down to keep it in scale. No matter what emulator you use, you need to scale the sensitivity way way way way back before it's controllable. Likely Foxy can do it as well, but currently the ONLY way to have absolute inputs for a zero-order scheme is absolute mouse emulation, but as not all emulators are created equal, and TARGET is known to work and you have a support specific group -us. I have a Cougar I customized specifically for zero-order control and use TARGET to achieve absolute inputs, and it's really easy.
Can anyone help me out with how to do this? Is there any kind of guide out there that my google-fu has failed to find?
I realize I may have to mod my rudders' USB connector into a Serial connector so I can plug into the HOTAS like my old Elite RCS. It seems a few of you have had good success using TARGET, however I'm unfamiliar with it and still face the challenge of programming Saitek rudders with it.
However it wasn't giving me full range of motion and wouldn't recenter properly. The closest I've got to it was using Xpadder to assign my rudders as a "spring" stick. Of course the rudders can't be programmed through Foxy so I've tried several methods to get them to act as a zero-order mouse. I use Foxy to program my HOTAS, simply because of familiarity. The challenge is I'm using a HOTAS Cougar with Saitek Pro Combat Rudders. That's how I used to play MW3 and MW4 and really want to get that playstyle back into MWO. I'm trying to figure out how to control my torso-twist using rudders with zero-order control.
