I've pulled apart both my F-16EX and F/A-18 grips and I can assure you that they are all aluminum!

Please stop with the BS. The grips are aluminum!!

What drugs are you on, please stop with the BS?? Both the F-16EX and F/A-18 grips are aluminum!!!

....well there goes your warranty!

Simappro is only needed for firmware updates and calibration (do not use Windows calibration!!).

Have you calibrated the stick??

Same

The problem is with DCS, not Winwing

Locate your default.lua for the F-18....nomally here - ......DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Input\FA-18C\joystick Open the default.lua file in notepad++ and search for "Dump" (without the quotes) PLEASE DO NOT USE NOTEPAD You should see the following line.. { down = fuel_commands.DumpSw, up = fuel_commands.DumpSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.FUEL_INTERFACE, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('Fuel Dump Switch - ON/OFF'), category = {_('Left Console'), _('Fuel Control Panel')}}, Add the following directly below it.. { down = fuel_commands.DumpSw, up = fuel_commands.DumpSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.FUEL_INTERFACE, value_down = 1.0, name = _('Fuel Dump Switch - ON'), category = {_('Left Console'), _('Fuel Control Panel')}}, { down = fuel_commands.DumpSw, up = fuel_commands.DumpSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.FUEL_INTERFACE, value_down = -1.0, name = _('Fuel Dump Switch - OFF'), category = {_('Left Console'), _('Fuel Control Panel')}}, Save the file then in DCS options bind the switch. You'll need to save your default.lua and redo this after each DCS update I notified ED of this issue well over 12mths ago but alas, easy fixes seem to get put in the too hard basket! null

Because they are indicator lights controlled by DCS

Full dissasembly. Detents are spring loaded ball bearings that locate in grooves. If you have some technical skills it shouldn't be a problem.

You might want to include where you are located?

Checked the manual in pinned post above???

If skins and mods are in your saved games folder, a clean or repair will not affect them.

Have you looked at the Orion2 manual on the Winwing site??

Not junky hardware but a a USB power issue. I have the TG MIP, Taurus, Orion2, panels and collective with absolutely no issues. Reinstall the Universal Serial Bus controllers driver (updated) on your main board and turn off the Power Saving Option for the USB driver Totally incompatible with MAC and Linux

I find it better to bind everything in DCS. It does take a bit of time but once done, you can then back up your controller profiles if you need to restore them at a later date.

In DCS. If you are flying and you press a button on the left MFD and it changes settings on the right, you have the buttons incorrectly bound!

You have the MFD's incorrectly bound. Go back into controller options and recheck

Unplug all USB devices except for KB and mouse. Run Simappro, plug in throttle. When you see it in the device tab, run a firmware update

Winwing only!

Pedals are under development. I doubt you'll see a z axis adapter

Well, program an unused hat as your rudder?

It's discontinued Buy some pedals

It's a European thing. Winwing don't have any idea on what will be charged once it ships! Europe has exorbitant import taxes and other charges.....take it up with you government.
