I never got around to ask them. I can tell you it is not
a JST type mini micro with 1.0mm spacing. Connectors has a bit more spacing and the
male/female pin part itself is bigger.
I fixed what was wrong with a bit of Deoxit.
I was also looking for the connector where the joy stick plugs into the base. I wanted
to make a cable that was 3-6 inches longer.
Could not find anyone that sold only that connector. (did not ask Thrustmaster) Saw some that looked close on Ebay , I did not think they would work due the spacing on
the screw down holes. I did find the exact connector sold by a company out of India
but they do not sell direct to end user, as I was told.
I did find a problem that might be useful to owners of the Warthog joystick.
I picked up a second joystick on Ebay. It would show up in device manager. DiView
did not pick it up nor did DCS. You also did not get the sound by windows when you plug/unplug a USB device. After a back and forth with Thrustmaster they sent
me a email on checking the connector on the base where the joystick plugs in.
The black part with the female pin sockets was pushed down a very small amount.
After putting a bit of cyrogenic glue and pushing the black socket back up in the metal housing
it now works with no problem. Top of the black part of the connector should be level with the metal housing.
I never paid attention to that connector, it is easy to overlook if you have this type of problem.
If anyone knows where to find just the joystick to base connector please let us know, would much appreciate it. Or premade cables in different lengths.
I think I ask TM about a longer cable, if I did I overlooked the response, will check.
