The Marineflieger Geschwader 1 (MFG 1) from Schleswig/Jagel was the first operational unit of the Bundeswehr to be equipped with the Tornado. By 1978, the squadron had flown 145,000 flight hours on the F-104, of which approx. 112,000 were on the F-104 G. It is simply a must to include this airport. I therefore assume that it will be included in phase 2 or 3 of the map development.

Ich habe gerade eine Warthog Throttle, die ich als defekt bei Ebay ersteigert habe, relativ simpel wieder zum Laufen bringen können. Sie war voher von Windows nicht erkannt worden. Nur an einem passiven USB Hub wurde sie im Bootloader Modus erkannt, allerdings mit der Fehlermeldung, dass das Gerät nicht gestartet werden konnte. Die Bootloader Methode funktionierte deshalb auch nicht. Das Gerät tauchte nicht im Thrustmaster Bootloader auf. Hab das ganze mit mehreren Computern ausprobiert. Immer das selbe Problem. Erstmal Endstation. Was die Throttle am Ende wieder zum Leben erweckt hat, war den grossen "Chip" in der MItte und die Bauteile (Widerstände und Transistoren) an der Stelle, wo das USB Kabel angelötet ist, mit einer SMD Reflow Station für ca. 3 Minuten (auf 250°C) zu erhitzen. Habe die Teile vorher ordentlich mit Lötfett eingeschmiert. Die Reflowstation ist so ein billiges China Teil von Amazon für 35€. Wenn man irgendwie die ganzen Plastikteile abbekommen würde, könnte u.U. auch ein Backofen ausreichen. Edit: Achso, und die LED's waren in der unteren Hälfte auch aus. Da hat ein erneutes Anlöten des Kabels, auf der darüberliegenden Platine, das Problem behoben.

I also just bought one on eBay as a bargain, which was sold as defective (device is not recognized). But all attempts to reload the firmware (bootloader method) failed. I have tried 3 different computers, different USB hubs, tested the Cable etc. What was noticeable, however, was that it was recognized at least with an unpowered USB HUB, but with the error message that windows could not start the device and it didn't appear in the Firmware Loader. What finally brought the throttle back to life was to soak the pins of the Chip and the USB section (resistors and capacitors next to where the usb-cable is soldered to the board) in soldering grease and then simply heat them up with an SMD rework station (250°C) for about 3-4 minutes. Now it runs again without any problems. The rework station is a cheap china one (858D) for about 35€ from Amazon. Hope this helps.

...Says the one who went from whiteknight to hater and back to whiteknight in less than a week. Congratulations, this might be new world record! Expect a call from the Guiness foundation in the next few days.

There's something wrong with this place anyway, where people that just hold on their criticism and don't fall into an endlessly grateful submissive attitude every time they do, being denounced as toxic, hateful and badly behaved people. That someone used such words in the whole discussion of the last week was extremely rare.

Well said Viper!

I understand what you are getting at and I've played the game with Razbam before. Just be happy that someone answers. Not one more time! However, I Just keep quiet now.

A wall of text, which is missing the point and not adressing the main points of criticism. Period.

:thumbup:

This was not meant as an insult. You seemed to be more and more obsessed about something. After all, it's Saturday night. You can't be serious about the money part. There are people for whom even the 35 $/Euro sale price has a certain value.

You sound like you are already out with the boys and will have kebab later again...

I'm afraid your little history excursion won't change his mind. But thanks for these insights! It fits perfectly into the picture.

Yes, that's exactly what it was! Everyone was hostile and toxic, otherwise there were no problems :rolleyes:

they just do not get it

Many here have evolved long time ago past the stage of acting like a dog that wags its tail when a bone is presented to him
