treasure Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Hi all, my TM hotas is on the way, as well as some pedals. i think i saw somewhere i should plug these 3 devices into a powered USB hub, is that true?, or is just a normal unpowered one ok?

Oceandar Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) If I remember correctly Thrustmaster recommend to directly connect each to its own usb plug without a hub especially when doing firmware update. But I've been using it with powered usb hub (Anker) without problem. Theres also an argument for using usb powered hub for better power supply since the throttle prone to brick because of usb fluctuation of power. I honestly not sure with all of these as I'm not an electronic expert and I let someone with more knowledge on that to explain. Its your call. Edit: Using powered USB hub is better than unpowered one IMO. Edited September 16, 2020 by Oceandar Mastering others is strength.

=Panther= Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Always first install drivers, and any firmware updates with devices directly connected to your PC. Afterwards you can moved them to a powered USB Hub.
