I have not tried to do this, but what do I need to do to map analog channel=
s

I can=B9t find how this is done in the EPL manual.

Thanks,

Hi All ! 
I was thinking about the Expansion-modules FLCS, RUDDER, A, B connector 
 
- the HOTAS Cougar uses USB, is it=
 then possible to use those ports for any 
 
other input from the pit (ex. swit=
ch, rotary) &nbsp;???
