Iraq, Afganistan or Iran..

Good!! It can be tricky pressing these buttons (trigger for example) because at same time you'll have plug usb cable in. My throttle then was "found" as HID boot in device manager (no lights at this stage) and no pop ups from windows and I was able to reload the firmware in and then lights were back on. br jsk

Hi Throttle is working again! It needed reflashing. My advice is that contact TM from support page. I contacted with email. Response (and solution) came in 2 working days with email. Im not posting the solution because of liability. Now i need to send my flash file to TM inspection. br jsk

Ok Got response from TM which should reset firmware. ill post the results when I get home.. jsk

yes truly illogical and mainly sad.:( from user persepctive that is what happened to me.

Sorry to hear that :joystick: I think that in all of the faulty cases it loses its bootloader/firmware when it's diconected form usb/ pc powered off. This usually happens to throttle not to stick. Still waiting for response from TM... jsk

Yeah hopefully firmware fixes everything.. To clarify that the joystick functions ok but the throttle is dead. No lights and no responce (except when I plug usb back in tries to find a driver which it find (Hotas Bootloader)). Great times for 3 days :) Biggest thing that sucks that if I need to return this ill have to wait new unit for ages. build quality otherwise superior. jsk

Hi! I got my Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog #625 on 12.11.2010 and it went dead 15.11.2010. Problem seems to be that Windows cant find HOTAS anymore (HOTAS Bootloader). On simhq forum there were similiar problems. It seems to be firmware related. http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3135513/Re_Thrustmaster_HOTAS_Warthog_.html Hopefully they soon release firmware update or ill return this and buy saitek.
