Badger1815 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Hello, Did anyone ever have problems with their Warthog throttle's buttons? I have several hotas buttons that seems to be triggered just by moving the throttle. Eg speed brakes only extend & retract when moving all the way up, into afterburner. Same with the comms button. I don't know if i've explaining it right, as it renders the throttle buttons almost unusable... Best regards Badger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomTOTEN Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I've heard that's due to pinched/exposed wires inside the throttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOXFIRE TWOONE Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I have a problem with the apu start switch, trigger's comms menu. This did not happen until after, if I remember correctly the second 2.5.6 update, and it is still a problem.

Lange_666 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 You have to open the base to examine the state of some of the wires that are close or in touch with the throttle levers, if they (or just one) are pinched it's not always easy to find, if the isolation of the wires is worn (because of rubbing against the levers) it's easier to detect and repair. But then that depends on the tools you have and the skills to do it. Win11 Pro 64-bit, Ryzen 5800X3D, Corsair H115i, Gigabyte X570S UD, EVGA 3080Ti XC3 Ultra 12GB, 64 GB DDR4 G.Skill 3600.

Badger1815 Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 Hey all, I've opened the base & the left grip to inspect the wires. None were visible damaged, i guess is the one with the 7 rainbow colored strands that caused the issue. I've disonnected it & pulled it along in both directions (base to grip & grip to base) and the buttons seem to be fine again :dunno: Could be helpfull to try for anyone else having this problem. Not sure what it did exactly though... Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnco61 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I have this problem, the bindings change for no reason when the throttle is at different positions, i will have a look at the cable's to see if anything is going on there but the bindings change to the same set of bindings every time it happens so i doubt that a pinched cable would be responsible for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
