HOTAS Warthog Throttle Friction lights query

Hey good Pilots, I've had my TM Warthog Throttle and Stick now for about 9 months I guess with no major dramas and still enjoying it very much but I only just noticed and I also was wondering about this when I first got my set up. The 5 little white dots or supposedly lights at the top of the throttle that run vertically down next to and below the friction wheel came on for a second when I unplugged the USB from the Throttle but only for a second until all the other lights lit up. I'm not %100 sure but I'm thinking those little white dots supposed to light up in stages as your increasing the friction strength of the throttle. I thought this was the case when I first unboxed it but then when they didn't light up I figured they were only for show but just tonight I noticed for the first time as I said they all lit up for a brief second. I'm going to send off an email to TM and also ask the dudes in my local gaming shop where I bought it from to see if they can try another unit and see what happens. And I would be very grateful if anyone has this issue or do they have working lights or not or whatever. Sorry if this is the wrong dept for my query.

Cheers G

They always remain off on mine so I'm guessing your warthog works fine.

You can switch them on and off using the Thrustmaster utility program, but they're pretty useless really.

Ye i switched off all of them too. They start to annoy me pretty quickly.
