Morat

Mine died. Purchased new December 14. It has been plugged in all that time. It was unplugging it when I cleaned my case that killed it, it never came back to life :( Looks like I'll have to buy a new PCB. This is not a pleasing outcome for a very expensive purchase. FWIW I have a Gigabtye GA-Z97X-Gaming 3 motherboard.

I'm distraught! I bought my Warthog about two years ago and both parts have been perfect since they were first plugged in. Yesterday I unplugged them for the first time so I could clean my PC Case out and when I plugged everything back in the Joystick worked fine but the Throttles aren't recognised. When I check device manager I can see: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) A request for the USB device descriptor failed. Does anyone have any clues? I've tried reinstalling the drivers (only the Joystick is seen) and I tried plugging the throttles into my laptop with the same results. The PC was first installed with Windows 8.1 and then upgraded to Win10 - the USB devices haven't been unplugged since well before then. I don't know if that is relevant but I thought I'd mention it. I have contacted Thrustmaster but I have only received a "thank you for your email" response so far :( I can't Fly!!

I have no doubt there are people out there who can get the best out of her, but sadly I'm not one :( I have no problem with the TF-51 and I was able to take off and land that within 10 attempts but the Spit is a whole different kettle of fish! I've spent more time waiting for the view to zoom out and adjusting the trim for t/o than anything else! I'm going back to Mavericks and CBUs :)

Well I waited until 2.0 supported the Spit and I wish I hadn't bothered. The Spitfire may have been a sweet handling beauty by WW2 standards but the DCS version is a vicious bitch with no redeeming features. Welcome back A-10C - I always loved you!
