  1. Thanks, got it fixed but not the way I predicted. I do understand how firmware works I just frustratingly typed the wrong thing. Got the throttle fixed but this was unconventional after speaking with Thrustmaster tech support. First thing I did was uninstall the drivers and reinstall the drivers. I also performed the bootloader process to ensure a clean install of the firmware, which I thought was faulty, it was not. I read on a post on the interwebs somewhere that one individual was having problems with the mb settings using USB 3.0 vs 2.0 and an enabled BIOS setting called xHCI. I turned it off and rebooted and then plugged my devices into the 2.0 USB slots. No joy. I then plugged them into the 3.0 slots and experienced the same thing, no joy. I then returned to BIOS and enabled xHCI and plugged devices into the 3.0 slots. It worked. I have no idea why. I also removed all the power management features for all the USB devices under device manager. To summarize this is a Win 10 and new motherboard problem, not a Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS problem. I tried calling the computer manufacturer yesterday but got no answer while on hold, figured they were answering thousands of calls from families who had never bought a computer before. Alas, I will update as I discover more if anything from the mb manufacturer and the computer manufacturer as I suspect future problems for folks buying more advanced machines. Now that I have the HOTAS throttle working, (joystick always worked...) I am still having issues with the coolie hat essentially operating in repeat mode whereas I cannot long press coolie hat to establish SOI. The slew button behaves like its an inverse x and y and also has no stops, it just keeps on drifting as soon as I engage it. Can anyone give me some advice on how to make that work/behave better, perhaps a thoroughly fleshed out throttle profile?
  2. now how do I uninstall the new firmware. It is killing my throttle. no longer works after I installed.
  3. Thanks Yurgon. I used TARGET to confirm proper operation. It was operating just fine. Seems with Win10, the firmware updates screw my particular HOTAS Warthog controllers up. Throttle, Slew and Coolie all malfunction with the firmware update. I had to uninstall all TM drivers and reinstall but avoid the firmware update to troubleshoot. Problem solved. Works flawlessly.
  4. Hello and Happy New Year. Today while flying the navigation training mission I noticed that my HOTAS slew buttons are not functioning correctly. When I start to use it it just wanders all over the place along some bad axes. Now I cannot even see the buttons when I press them on the control config page in the sim. Additionally, the coolie hat switch just works like a repeater and I cannot hold it down to select SOI on any of the displays. Very frustrated. I have the "new" thrustmaster software driver updates as well as the firmware. I feel it is a problem now. Running Win 10 with and AMD Radeon R7 360 Series. I have no idea if the problem is rooted in Windows and USB drivers. Can anyone help me out please? Thank you in advance.
  5. Just recently got a house with room to put a new system together and did it for the sole purpose of flying A-10c. I checked the site and it remembered my serial number but where do I get a download to accompany? Do I need to re purchase it again? How does it work with the new DCS World system? Is that a separate issue? Thanks
