C4 and Thrustmaster HOTAS Cougar

Hi Guys, I have recently purchased Comanche 4. I have loved every Comanche version produced, but until this purchase of C4, have not flown the Comanche for 8 years. I have also purchased the Thrustmaster HOTAS Cougar. For the life of me, I cant get the THROTTLE to work correctly. The throttle is totally ignored by my installation and only some of the buttons produce results, albeit not the ones I want. Does anyone have an answer to this problem and also does anyone have a pre-built file for the Cougar to work with C4?
