Appleonastick

New set arrived today. Works like a charm..!!

WD40 does not work. And there is no steel...

I am getting a brand new set next friday. Super service

Hahahaha Stick is packed and on his way to my supplier who will send me a brand new set. Great service P.S. During packeging i found the hall sensor magnet.. It was sealed and in a hole in the polypress next to the stick insert.. Never even assambled

I started my own dutch community, hoping for a lot of dutch DCS-A10 simmers to join. Forum is being created as we speak. (This is only a beginning, there will be better stuff) Ik ben mijn eigen nederlandse DCS A-10 community gestart, hopend dat er een hoop nederlandse DCS A-10C spelers joinen. Forum word op dit moment gestart. (Dit is nog maar een begin, er komen betere dingen) http://dcsa10.forum2go.nl

Why keep mailing and complaining, instead of picking up the phone and get someone instantly.. P.s. be glad your magnet is fallen of.. I just received mine yesterday, and it didn't work at al. Opened her up today, only to dicover there isen't even a magnet placed during fabrication. :P Really, give them a call.. that's the much faster option.

I am contacting my supplier this monday for a new stick. Let him sort out the rest with TM. Or do you mean get the new part from TM? I don't know how willing they are with sending the upper stickbase part in wich the hall sensor magnet is placed. That would be a nice option. Thanks for bringing it up. will contact them asap. I would think thrustmaster would check each part when installing it.. It's not like they are making 10.000 sticks a day right?

Problem found..!! After opening up the stickbase, i found out the hall sensor magnet is completely missing in my product. What a FAIL from Thrustmaster..

Looking for dutch flyers to form a dutch squadron.. Or even better a dutch squadron to join.

Laughed my ass straight off.. Especially when Mr Trololo appears :P

Even worse, the games all see the stick.. but when i try to tune the axis.. movement has no effect.. Same with pushing buttons, moving the hats, etc..

It's fully in, no play, all the pins are good (The helpdesk dude also made me check this) It's firmly screwed on, but not TO tight. Well.. the stick again is boxed.. And now i am flying with a crappy saitek av8r<>Warthog throttle combo. (Trust me, it sucks donkey ass :P ) Wish i had kept my cougar.. At least the support is great, i just hate to wait.. Thanks for all the input guys

tried everything on different pc, with all the games, and in device inputs. Same story, it is being seen, but inputs are not. Called thrustmaster, explaned the story, did the bootloader thing. Still the same. So they offered me 2 options. Sending it back to my resailer for a new one under warrenty. Sending it to thrustmaster in france for repair/new replacement under warrenty. I'm going for the first option. And keep the second one in mind for when the first fails. The customer support guy said my resailer can contact them with the ref nr he gave me to check my story. So let's wait and see.. Bummer though.. It's brand new and allready broken.. :(

I did try all usb ports, I tried it without the throttle It shows up in diveces and printers, just like the throttle.. But as the throttle is working fine in device properties, and target, the stick does absolutly nothing. No movement, button's, hat's, etc don't work.. Right now i am like... WTF..

Just received my new hotas warthog today. Installed the drivers and t.a.r.g.e.t Throttle works brilliantly.. Stick does absolutely nothing. It's detected though.. Windows 7 sees it, DCS A-10C Warthog sees it, BMS sees it.. But there is no axis working, no button working.. I'm really flabbergasted.. Anyone know something?

Let's combine DCS with the pro ArmA community.. Then we can give the ground crew some support from the air :P On topic: Hell yeah for the B-1B
