juankeiko Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 Hi hreich. These stickers indicate the correct assembly of the joystick. I have not yet removed. I can only tell you that this joystick is incredible. ---=ONLY ANGELS FLY HIGHER=----[sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Cuando llegues al final de tu cuerda, haz un nudo y aguanta.

98abaile Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I wish I'd bought mine new. I bought mine second hand from ebay, and it had a broken slew hat. Two days later I saw the stick on amazon for £30 more (with free delivery) than I paid for mine (after deliver costs). I managed to get a £30 refund from the seller, but I'm gutted. Now I've got to pay to get it shipped and repaired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoleCat Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Congratulations on your purchase. As Cali said it would be prudent to update the firmware as a small number of units have had throttles fail (replaced under warranty). I love mine and have had no issues or failures since my original purchase just days after release in the U.S. I suggest that you just do what I and many others are have after our purchases...Enjoy the best HOTAS out there and most of all have fun with it!

98abaile Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) 1st thing you better do is update the firmware. Already had, version 20. Everything works, including the slew button, except for the slew axes. Edited June 30, 2011 by 98abaile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Heller Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I was gonna buy one of these, spent the money on an FN Herstal FNS 9mm instead.:music_whistling: X-52 works fine anyways, haha.

juankeiko Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) Thank you all for your advice. It is very certain that I will do everything very carefully and making sure that everything runs smoothly. Some of you have commented about the yellow stickers. They are simply to indicate the correct position to attach the joystick to the base. Can be removed without problem. I'm sure that i will have a lot of fun with the THW. The problem is that I have air traffic control at home, my wife, and when he shoots, she always brings down the plane. hehehheheh ;) Greetings to all. Good flights.

Yea I figured that much. I guess a few people were having trouble mounting the stick to the base hence the necessity for the visual aids lol or TM's being proactive just in case somebody does [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] OS:WIN7 HP X64|MOBO:ASRock Z68|CPU:I52500k@4Ghz|RAM:12Gb 3x4Gb GSkill Ripjaws 9-9-9-24 @1600Mhz|GPU:ASUS GTX580|HDD:2x128Gb Crucial sataIII SSD raid0|PSU:Antek 1000watt|Case:Antek 1200|Peripherals: TMWH|Saitek ProFlight rudder pedals|TrackIr4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juankeiko Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Today I have received these components. I'm waiting for an altimeter of a Phantom F4. I am also looking for actual components of the A10 warthog, if someone knows something tell me, please, I'm very interested.
