Know before you buy
The MFD Cougar Pack is compatible with any PC flight simulation game that supports multi-USB input devices. Because they function as standard game controllers, they can be mapped to almost any function within your simulator's control settings.
Yes, each panel includes Plexiglas windows that allow you to insert your own custom layouts or printed profiles. This makes it easy to label the buttons according to the specific aircraft or simulator you are currently flying.
The panels feature plug-and-play support for major simulators, meaning they are generally recognized by Windows immediately upon connection. While no complex driver installation is required, you may need to map the buttons manually within your simulator's configuration menu.
Yes, the weighted base is fully detachable. This allows you to mount the panels directly into a custom cockpit frame or flight simulator rig for a more integrated, professional setup.
The panels feature adjustable backlighting that you can dim or brighten to suit your environment. This is particularly useful for maintaining visibility during night flights or in low-light simulation setups.
The two programmable LEDs per panel can be assigned to specific in-game triggers or status indicators through your simulation software. They serve as helpful visual cues for system states, such as landing gear status or weapon arming, without requiring you to look at your main monitor.
