  1. Hello, I have the latest update installed, but I can´t find the button for instlling the Huey Training missions. It´s only available for the SU25-T...
  2. Ok, problem solved! Thanks a lot to Mazzic for soldering my board back to a working condition again. It´s great to have such a helpful community here.:thumbup:
  3. Yes, it is! But luckily I found a very helpful fellow simmer in Mazzic. He has good knowledge in electronics and offered me to have a look at my Warthog. I´ve sent him the board and he´s trying to fix it. So there´s still hope for my poor Warthog.
  4. So after asking Dr. Google I believe that FB next to the fried part should stand for "ferrite bead". But I have no idea what kind of ferrite bead it is. I don´t know if there are marking or something on the part that can identifie the type used, but since it is fried I can´t see anything that helps me identifying the part. Any idea what to use or what could work as a replacement for a ferrite bead?
  5. Hello, looks like something similar happened to me today. My Warthog stick has just died. Since I´m out of warranty I´ve opened it up to have a look if there´s something fried inside and indeed it was. I´ve attached a picture of the fried board. Is it the ssame part you had to replace on the dead stick? If so, what part exactly do I need to replace it? I have to admit that I have very very limited knowledge of electronics, but I´m not afraid of soldering to bring my warthog back to life. I´ve also contacted Thrustmaster support for a replacement board, but after reading about the experiences many users had with TM support I don´t expect much of them. So I´m just checking my options what I can do to repair it. Any help is appreciated.
  6. After playing a little bit with my stick :music_whistling: I found out that the wheels are actually registered under the Saitek page in the windows control panel. The left wheel button is labeled as button #32 and the right one has #39. Scrolling up or down shows a reaction but has no # attached to it (but I found out they have #33 and #34 for the left wheel and #40 / #41 for the right wheel. The interesting part is that if you leave your windows control panel Saitek page open then scrolling up and down gets registerd and you can assign them via the controler options in DCS A-10. Problem with that solution is that the ministick config (which I did with the Saitek profiler to pan around with the targeting pod) doesn´t work anymore. The stick gets then registered as it default mouse mode. Perhaps the solution is to edit the Saitek profile wit a text editor to add the buttons to the profile by hand. I tried adding a line [button=0x00090033 name=XYZ] for button #33 but that didn´t do the the trick. I assume that there must be more added under the commands section, but my knowledge is too limited to reach anything there. Anybody has an idea? It´s a pitty to have those MFD buttons on that pretty much useless MFD and not being able to assign them. They could be very handy...
  7. Hello everybody, does anybody know if there is a way to use the two scroll-wheels on the x52 pro MFD´s without the MFD (Which is mostly limited to FSX)? Since they are endless rotating those would be the perfect switches for tuning the radios in the A-10. I know that the MFD is accesible via scripting, but I don´t know much about that stuff. Perhaps it is possible to have some kind of universal script that just emulates a button press? Or maybe you can even assign them directly by adding their ID´s to the Saitek profile?
