Thrustmaster Hotas Cougar does not work properly

Thrustmaster Hotas cougar doesn`t work properly in MSFS 2020. I have done the recommended procedures, updating the firmware, calibration of the joystick as well as experimenting with the sensibility and deadzone. Also, defining the axes correctly, however it does not work proberly.

In every other sim I have, there is no problemat all…only in MSFS 2020! When the yoke is been pushed forward for example, it seems to be stucked at the position ingame whereas, trying to costumise the controlls within the useface options, the controlls seems to be hypersensitive! But it doesn`t stuck or seems to work incorrectly.
Is this a bug? Or simply a technical failure? If someone has a solution…, you are most welcome!

Hello.

Do you have profile emulation activated? or direct device with Buttons and axes?

Same problem, direct device with buttons and axes. Sensitivity settings and all flight control axis set as indicated by Simhangar on Youtube.


White horizontal bars not moving for ELEVATOR AXIS and AILERONS AXIS when Cougar flight stick is moved. RUDDER AXIS works when pedals are moved. Throttle works correctly as well. No ELEVATOR or AILERONS stick movement in cockpit either.

White balls move on axis lines for JOYSTICK L-AXIS X, Y (Stick) and Z (Throttle) and JOYSTICK R-AXIS Z (Rudder pedals) when stick and throttle are moved. White horizontal lines for JOYSTICK L-AXIS X and Y do not move when stick is moved. No stick movement in cockpit either.

Extremity dead zone at 100% looks the likely culprit to me.
