About the switch functionality on the Thrustmaster replica, I just got mine and noticed the 4 way hat switch is actually usable only as a 3 way (FWD-BACK-RIGHT) switch+depress (like the real Hornet stick). In other words the number 18 switch (moving the hat to the LEFT) doesn't do anything on my replica stick (I can't even feel and hear the "click" like for all other positions).
Is that normal?
