beaupower32 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Just picked up my HOTAS Warthog, and everything is working, except the slew on the throttle. I cant get it to map in game and in the TARGET software. Anyone have any ideas if I am doing anything wrong. Has anyone had this before? Thanks for the help, and I can give more info if needed.

Glider_UK Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Mine was the same, after many emails and calls to Thrustmaster it turned out to be a fault on the controller. Thankfully I bought it from Amazon and had a replacement within 2 days. I hope yours is not the same, but dont rule it out. http://www.modeldesigns.co.uk Mobo Asus Maximus XI RAM:64GB DDR4 CPU:Intel I9 9900 Nvidia 2080TI WIN10 64Bit HP Reverb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTFDarkEagle Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Could you state the solution, so others, who might have this very same problem, could try your solution?

beaupower32 Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 Could you state the solution, so others, who might have this very same problem, could try your solution? Well, not much I did really. Once I got it loaded up adn the game started, I switched on the maverick and was able to slew it around no problem, but in the options menu when I try setting it up, the game didnt reconize it. But it works so Im not going to go and mess with things. The only thing I am trying to figure out now is when I press the trigger, I get about 1/2 second burst of gun fire, nothing longer.

It might be a stupid suggestion, but make sure you pull the trigger hard enough. Sometimes it happened to me that I unconsciously eased the pressure on the trigger during small adjustments to stay on target. I really had to get used to how much pressure do I apply on it.

I'm not an electrical engineer, but at the beginning my coolie hat had a similar problem; it went on just for a part of a second at the time. Haven't noticed the problem after a few weeks of use.

Its funny is that I wasnt pulling it hard enough. I was so use to my X52, that I wasnt pulling the trigger at all. I was having a tough day flying , but I think I finally got all my stuff sorted out, well for now at least. Thanks everyone for helping me out. :thumbup: "There is always a small microcosm of people who need to explain away their suckage" [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't noticed the problem after a few weeks of use. My trim switch has the same problem. I think it's because I don't press/pull at exactly the right angle and wind up hitting one of the "down right/up left" positions by mistake.

Probably have to return it via Amazon to tigerdirect. If your waiting for thrustmaster on an email good luck, They never answered one email out of 8, I had to call them every time. The only emails I recieved were the auto responses. I was not very impressed by the support. It took 7 calls before they admitted it was an hardware error. I would just swap it with Amazon there service is excellent. http://www.modeldesigns.co.uk Mobo Asus Maximus XI RAM:64GB DDR4 CPU:Intel I9 9900 Nvidia 2080TI WIN10 64Bit HP Reverb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swapped unit #1 out. Unit #2 the pov (trim) hat failed after a few days. On unit #3 now and it seems to be holding up so far but, I haven't flown much over the holidays.

I get answeres per mail within 40 mins. But this is the german support team. Maybe it differs from other countries. As it seems I am having a controller board issue. Bad thing is, no guarantee anymore because I bought it as a used one. So checking what it can be. Maybe any ingeneer could give me a hint? :) Thanks in advance Cheers, Demon [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Founder of the -=VDS=- http://www.virtual-dragon-squadron.de:pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeb Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 POV Hat I just got my Warthog and the POV1 hat is stuck in the down position. Still waiting on Tmaster support to return an email. Probably have to return it via Amazon to tigerdirect. I wasn't aware that the POV Hat had a centre press. That means mine is stuck in the down position as well.
