Hey gang,

Currently in the process of setting up a joystick file for my TM Cougar Hotas.

On my throttle, I have two rotaries available - I am thinking it might be a good choice, to assign prop pitch to one and mixture to the other?
Just curious what others think of this approach. I have gone in at this point and assigned all key commands that I should be using both in the near future, and later down the road - whew, was quite the task.
Next step is recording them - I have an excel spreadsheet already layed out with the commands that I got somewhere around here I think - I will record them on the spreadsheet and start writing the macro file for my Cougar - then all that is left is assigning the macros to buttons on the stick and throttle. I think I can see light at the end of the tunnel now :)

Prop pitch and Mixture - good idea to assign to the two rotaries, or is something else maybe better to assign to them?

Thanks for any advice,
