Thrustmaster MFD Cougar Pack – 2-Pack, Flight Simulator Instrument Panel, 20 buttons, Wired (2960708)

Pack of two multifunctional USB Cockpit Panels modeled after the U.S. Air Force F-16 multi-function display (MFD). The Thrustmaster MFD Cougar Pack connects via wired USB and provides a compact, black, tablet-style control surface designed for flight simulation on PC. Each unit includes backlit buttons, programmable LEDs, removable base and two Plexiglas windows for inserting one of the supplied pre-printed layout cards.

Advantages

Buttons are backlit with adjustable intensity (software or manual), and each MFD has two programmable LEDs to assist identification during configuration. The base is multi-position, weighted, non-slip and detachable. The package includes a CD with Plug & Play presets for Microsoft® Flight Simulator X and Microsoft® Flight Simulator 2004, and three pre-printed cardboard layouts (Generic, Light Aviation, Airliner) that fit under the Plexiglas windows.

Choose one of the three pre-printed layout cards and place it beneath the Plexiglas window of each MFD, or create your own layout and program buttons and LEDs using the provided software. Adjust backlight intensity either via the software or the manual control on the hardware. Position the weighted base in the preferred angle and attach or detach it as needed.

Recommendations

For best results, use with flight simulation titles that support multiple USB controllers and create or load preset profiles matching your simulator (Generic, Light Aviation, Airliner). Keep the CD or downloaded drivers updated and ensure USB ports provide stable connection for reliable button mapping.
