Amazingly 4 weeks ago I decided I was fed up and would open a ticket because I was going insane and was starting to become unstable. Filling out the form of the ticket I attempted to upload the dcs log but it was erased. Next I restarted DCS to create the log but instead it miraculously worked. There was a mix of emotions and thoughts, one was relief and excitement to finally be able to learn and play, the other was disbelief that the 0 n 1 gods were tormenting me for their pleasure. I enjoyed playing DCS more than ever before my Warthog stick and base decided to go on strike and my computer refused to register any inputs. The hornet grip didn't work either with the base so I did an RMA w Thrustmaster. It took a week for them to decide to accept the RMA. I decided to purchase another base to return through Amazon till the RMA was complete but the Hornet didn't work with that base either. Amazon was nice enough to allow the Hornet grip to be returned after 30 days and obviously took back the base which was only 1 day old. I used a Extreme 3D pro for a couple of days and T.1600 but hated both really. Today, after 5 weeks total the Warthog stick and base have returned, working and am excited to return to DCS. I have been playing FS2020 on honeycomb alpha and bravo mostly since. Glad to be back
