The Thrustmaster MFD Cougar display is the ideal companion for all joysticks and yokes – perfect for diehard flight simulation fans
Forget about your keyboard and take control with real flight instruments for even greater realism. The MFD Cougar pack includes two lifelike replicas of the US Air Force F-16 MFD.
The MFD Cougar modules from Thrustmaster are replicas of those found onboard the legendary U.S. Air Force F-16 jet fighter. They’re compatible with all flight simulation games. All you need is a USB!
So, what is an MFD?
Well, the MFD Cougar is a panel of buttons and switches you can program with your choice of functions. You simply set-up your MFD with your chosen shortcuts and you’ve instantly got a far more intuitive, practical (and fun!) than your plain old keyboard and mouse.
Each MFD module features 20 buttons and 4 switches, for a total of 56 programmable controls.
You’ve also got 2 programmable LEDs per MFD that facilitate identification. Plus, the programming interface can accommodate up to 8 MFD modules at the same time.
Finally, each MFD module features an internal memory, which saves all of your settings and preferences…even when you’re on a different computer.
Versatile, high-performance design!
The MFD modules feature a multi-position base, allowing users to adjust them to the perfect viewing angle.
Each module is weighted and equipped with non-slip grips for complete stability when using the controls.
Both MFD modules are also detachable from their base. You can easily attach them to your monitor or simulator cockpit.
The buttons are backlit and feature adjustable intensity (via the software or manually), allowing you to adapt the backlighting level to your preferred conditions and gaming environments.
The installation CD contains plug-ins which instantly configure both MFD modules for the Microsoft games ‘Flight Simulator 2004’ and ‘Flight Simulator X’, with a choice of 3 presets: Generic/Light Aviation/Airliner: each control on the MFDs will be preconfigured for these games.
Each MFD module comes equipped with Plexiglas windows, between which the user can insert one of the 10 preprinted cardboard cutouts included in the pack.
The different presets for Microsoft Flight Simulator X are indicated on the cutouts, and blank cutouts are also included for customization with any other game.

If you’ve clicked on this tab, you’re obviously looking for a reason or two on why you should shop for your gaming goodies at Gamer Gear Direct, rather than those other online stores.
And we’ll (not so) humbly say there are SEVEN reasons we think you should shop with us and not hand over your hard-earned cash at one of those big box retailers like Harvey Norman or JB Hi-Fi.
We’ll bend over backwards to ensure you are 100% happy and satisfied with your order and our world-class customer service. We want you to rave about your experience with us to your friends and family.
But we know that’ll only happen if we treat every customer like you’re the most important customer in the world. And you are! Without you we wouldn’t be in this business. We’ve only got to where we are today by treating our customers to a high level of service that you’ll rarely find online.
We’ll literally bend over backwards to ensure your experience with us is one you’ll shout about to your neighbour or mates at work. See, we’re not one of those big box electronics stores with a multi-million marketing budget. Those companies treat you like a number. Because they can afford to! They’ve got money coming out of their ears.
We’re different. We’re a small Aussie owned and operated business. Every single potential customer that hits our website is precious to us (that includes you). So, again, we’ll do everything we can to make sure you’re over the moon with your Gamer Gear Direct shopping experience.
Do you think Harvey Norman can promise that kind of service?
Probably not. In fact, I’d bet my house they won’t. But look, you don’t have to take my word for it. Here’s what our customers are saying about us…
Ashley Woolnough says: ‘I want to say a huge thank you to Blake and the team at Gamer Gear Direct. The service has been absolutely impeccable from the moment I first looked at items to the moment they were delivered. I bothered Blake quite a bit, but nothing was too much trouble and he went above and beyond to help me. 5-star service’.
Luke H. had this to say: ‘Amazing, Excellent Service. I'm very impressed. Well informed staff and good quality selection of Sim Racing gear. Staff even went above and beyond to answer a query regarding whether a certain set of pedals would properly mount to a specific cockpit by testing it themselves on my behalf. Delivery is ridiculous fast and free. Less than 24 hour delivery to Sydney NSW which is impressive. Definitely my go to place for all future gear'.
And this from Brendan: ‘Hands down the best online supplier in Australia atm. Customer service is above an beyond any other Australian company. Blake is always happy to try an keep the customer as happy as possible an with the best deal. I will be back...a forever shop and first stop when hunting any sim upgrade.’
That’s not an exhaustive list, either. There are plenty more happy customer stories we could share with you. But let’s move on to reason number two…

I love these MFDs. There are YouTube tutorials available if you want to build a working real-time screen to overlay the actual imagery from in-game MFDs.The buttons work great and I love the lighting. These worked straight out of the box without any setup issues at all - simply plug and play for Digital Combat Simulator. I’ve had these for 4 years with no issues at all.If you want to further your flight sim immersion, this is the right product.
I am using the Thrustmaster TPR Pedals on Flight Simulator Prepar3D. I have had several other brands of Rudder Pedals over the years, nothing compares to Thrustmaster TPR Pedals. They are the epitome of pedals. Really brings your plane to a highly realistic feel. Well worth the investment!
These are built like a tank and far superior to any of the plastic "twist" axis pedals on the market. I don't have any boutique pedals to compare these too. Other than the unique design and being very precise (like the Warthog HOTAS), these allow you to reset your foot in a position and hold the rudder in a way that counter acts torque from your sim aircraft's engine which is a great addition to your flight simulator experience if you are a helicopter or war bird sim pilot. If you only fly modern jets, you don't need these, except for possibly older aircraft like the F-14 which uses the rudders for roll at high alpha.
son loves it
I built a 6dof motion platform sim over the dummer and while it's been nice, it still feels like a lots been missing. Especially in dcs where almost all of my modules have displays. It should also be noted that I fly in vr snd wasn't sure how it would work considering I couldn't physically see the mfd's. Muscke memory is a wonderful thing. I eventuskky mounted these on both sides of the platform so they move with me and have since put velcro (the sharp side) pieces on all their middke buttons so I can get a frame of touch reference on what I'm pushing. So yes. Even in vr these sre great.
