Update Emailed Thrustmaster technical support again back in November. Here's the reply in regards to ordering a new gimbal. "We thank you for your reply and for providing us with that video. The component that failed on your unit is not available as a spare part and consequently we cannot provide you with a replacement unit. The only long time reliable solution is the acquisition of a new base. The base (without the metal plate and the joystick handle) is available as a spare part and it can be supplied to you." So there you have it.

Interesting. So custumer service is an issue here or thats a false statment. Ill try to order the gimbal again.

Thats offle, hope TM sends you a new one. Besides the gimbal problem I still like the Warthog. It was a great investment and its really too bad TM isn't selling replacement gimbals any more.

That's a good question for Thrustmaster. If some one gets an answer please share.

Good news is the gimbal is fixed now. Fly's straight, no more diving to the right or the left. The bad news is I'm not going to share the process because it's not economical if you don't have access to the bonding material as I did. For the cost of a tube you could buy a Saitek set up.

Thanks! Never a bad thing having booked work. Hopefully some one will make some in numbers.

Had it since the Warthog hotas came out. How it broke well that's a good question. It did fall over a year ago but not really sure. I don't know any one that does that and it will be challenging to get it right.

Back in September I was in contact with TM about the gimbal. Pictures and part numbers were exchanged then I got the email of doom. "Kindly be informed there is no misunderstanding regarding the part. This part is no longer available, we don't offer it as a spare part any more." So Yeah been flying with the broken gimbal and just cant handle it any more. Going to use the strongest panel bonding glue around tomorrow as a last hope. Any thoughts, suggestions or what have you I'm open to listening.

Just tried to order the gimble for my warthog and thrustmaster replided back saying the part isnt avalible. Now what to do?

Yeah I ended up using paypal for the last two modauls. I think paypal chaged me twice for the F-86 though. Atleast I know it wasnt just my bank but Mastercard.

Thank you much. Now all is right for one night.

That part of it though does not seem to work but glad the PMs are.

When you go into the PMs its under jump box.

I did PM you back two times but the message doesn't show i responded nor does my sent box.

It worked thanks. Now i need to randomly PM some one to make sure its working both ways.
