NakedSquirrel Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I'm having issues with my Thrustmaster Throttle. Occasionally, when I unplug the throttle and plug it back into a USB, the USB doesn't recognize it. If I plug it into a new USB port the computer seems to recognize it again as a Thrustmaster throttle (instead of unrecognized USB device). Its a problem I've noticed before, but I didn't think much of it since it has only happened occasionally. But now... I am running out of USB ports, and do not know how to reset them so that they can recognize the throttle. Has anyone had a similar issue and found a solution?

Flow Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Look into the DEVCON tool. You can make yourself a script to virtually delete and reconnect a device without actually doing it physically. For the TM warthog for instance, the command is (if the devcon.exe is on your desktop) : C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Desktop\devcon.exe restart "USB\VID_044F&PID_040*" This restarts all the USB devices from Vendor 044F (Thrustmaster) with product ID 040 something (2 is joystick, 4 is throttle). To download DEVCON : http://www.itworks.sk/storage/devcon.zip It is a Microsoft tool, so no worries :) As for finding the right VID and PID of your devices, use Windows' device manager. That *should* take care of your problem. i7 7700k • 1080Ti • 32GB @ 3200 MHz • 525GB M.2 • Oculus Rift Warthog + Pro Flight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
