cougar mfd lcd screen price
This panel is an excellent size and quality for the Logitech Cougar MFD panels. I attached a trimmed piece of plexiglass to the monitor frame with velcro strips for easy removal, and then attached the Cougar MFD panels to the plexiglass to keep from directly touching the screen. Works like a charm and the quality of the monitor is shockingly good for the price.
The second generation product had replaced the LCD panel with better quality, added the main power switch, replaced the large USB port to prevent plug failure, reserved the socket of CUBESIM MFD button frame (if CUBESIM button frame is used, the same USB cable is used to connect the computer with V2 display), and the overall size is thinner.Active heat dissipation is removed, passive heat dissipation holes are added.
4.Windows recognized as a secondary monitor, any application window can be placed on it,no problem,just a normal screen,no more special,just it is a UBS connected.
Want to seriously enhance your combat flight sim immersion with real displays for your Thrustmaster Cougar MFDs BUT not interested in making your own or waiting for Cubesim stock? Comes with 12v power supply( NORTH AMERICA ONLY!), each, as well as all mounting hardware, including optional tabs for using the base table mount that comes with the Thrustmaster Cougar MFDs!
These screens are compatible withAssembly and setup instructions included via email for DCS and Falcon 4 BMS flight sims.This product is 3D printed and some cosmetic artifacts are to be expected from the additive manufacturing process.
For a very long time now I"ve been looking at options for putting screens behind my MFDs and seen many different solutions which do the job but could be refined and made easier if there were something that was made specifically to fit the TM cougar.
I"ve reached out to a number of manufacturers to address this and requested pricing for a dedicated screen to fit the back of the cougar. I"ve requested the initial specs as follows to give them all a benchmark to start with:
With as much as 20 programmable buttons and four sliders, the Thrustmaster MFD Cougar is a real replacement for the keyboard while flying. With two MFD’s (Multi-Functional Displays) in one pack you have a lot of keyboard shortcuts within reach, and you can fully concentrate on flying.
The MFD Cougar has an internal storage on which our personal settings can be saved, which is very convenient. This comes in handy especially when you want to connect your panels to another system because this way you do not have to configure your buttons and switches again.
The two Multi-Functional Displays are life-size replicas of the U.S. AirForce F-16 Fighter. The MFD’s buttons are backlit, and both MFD’s come with an acrylic glass window that slides into the MFD Cougar along with a pre-printed card. Maps can also be downloaded from the Thrustmaster website and can be printed and modified to suit your needs.
Abouty ten years ago I was sitting in my Obutto Ozone cockpit, with three cheap 24 inch LCD monitors and a Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS. DCS A-10C Warthog (not DCS World) was my game of choice, and VR didn"t exist.
The Ozone Obutto Cockpit setup I started with. Three 24 inch BenQ LCD monitors, a HOTAS Warthog, and the two panels i had purchased from Glider_UKon the ED Forums.
The next thing I wanted to add was a main instrument panel. I had been reading on the forums about exporting the gauges to a second monitor, so I bought a cheap Acer 19 inch LCD and bolted it onto the Obutto with the cheapest eBay VESA wall mount.
This is what Helios does- it exports the data from DCS and displays them on gauges on a seperate monitor. The same program is being used today on the monitor behind my Main Instument Panel. If you had a touch screen monitor, you could even use it to display and push all the buttons in the cockpit!
To make my first panels, I purchased 3mm thick plastic sheet from a hardware store in Australia (Bunnings). They still sell it today, its about 50 bucks for a large 1200mm sheet and used for pool fencing/screening etc, and comes in white or clear. Be aware that it is PVC and is not able to be laser cut/engraved.
I had mine setup with a single screen. It worked pretty nicely but it does impact fps so something to be aware of. I’m just using them without any screen now.
Here was my setup. The screen is a 13.3 Inch 1080p IPS display I got on Amazon for around $120. The moving map looked really nice on it. Colors were great. I later got a bigger 20-inch display that was a 1600x900p TN type panel. I mounted three cougars to it and had the exports working. I wanted to export other panels to fill up the empty space but the Hornet currently only can export the DDI’s and AMPCD natively and I found using 3rd party export apps had a huge performance impact so I scrapped the idea.
Imo kinda overpriced, since 3D print service is quite convenient now days, and MMjoy board + bottons are everywhere on ebay and aliexpress. you are already preparing LCD+driver board to fit it. why noe make your own MFD with any size of LCD dev kit you can get with fragment of that price.
Or like most of people. use another desktop monitor mounted below the desk, glue or hang the MFD frame on it. adjust DCS viewpoint so it fit in the frame. get all gauges and MFD at the same screenspace.
