Order number 2104 shipped last week and arrived today. Installing now.

Got the email yesterday that my order #2104 shipped. That puts him ahead of schedule if anyone was wondering where their order stands.

About that pause shown in the video. Is it simulating the Sensor on the targeting pod rotating to keep in frame? A slight delay while one axis rotates to keep the second axis on target?

Yeah I emailed them on Saturday. Just waiting for a reply. Don't worry Crew, I'll be back as soon as I can!:joystick:

My throttle is showing up in Printers and Devices but doesn't light up and says it needs trouble shooting. Trouble shooting says I need to install the driver but that fails. Sometimes when I plug it in it doesn't show up and comes up with the USB device not recognized window. What are the steps I need to do to clean it's entries in my registry?

In the mean time I am reading through this thread for ideas: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=61569

Ok Skate, plugged it into my work laptop and it does the same thing. Flashes green lights for a second and then goes dark. Come up and says USB Device Not Recognized blah blah blah. I submitted a ticket with TM. Lets see if they can do anything. If it is just the main board I have no problem with replacing it. If it is a firmware goof up then I wouldn't mind saving the money and fixing it.

I only have the one PC in the house and a Mac Book Pro. I guess I could always try to plug it in at work. I'm sure Boeing won't mind, I'll tell them it is work related!

I noticed it comes up as USB Input Device instead of HID-compliant game controller like the Joystick half does. It looks like this: Capture2 by usmcbeans, on Flickr

Thanks for the reply Skate. Here is what I am talking about.... Capture by usmcbeans, on Flickr

Yeah, I want to point out that this HOTAS has worked flawlessly for 3 years now. I have never had any troubles with it. I am just looking at all of my repair options before ordering a new main board. I would not hesitate to purchase a warthog again if needed. I am a very happy customer and it appears that the issue I am having is on my PC's end anyways since the throttle lights up just fine on a Mac Book.

I have a similar problem. Plug the throttle in and it flashes and then stays off. However, it does show up in Devices and Printers on the Control Panel with the yellow triangle with exclamation point. When I troubleshoot it says it is a driver issue. I have updated the driver. I tried to do the boot firmware but it doesn't seem to work on the throttle. Any suggestions? Edit to Add: Just plugged the throttle into my wife's Mac Book Pro and it lit up just fine. Could it be that it isn't getting enough power through my USB ports on the PC all of a sudden? I guess I will try the powered USB hub tomorrow.
