Thrustmaster Warthog hotas no command works


Recommended Posts

Hi all i have puchase Thrustmaster Warthog hotas. But i try on 3 pc (one with windows 8.1, and 2 with Windows 7). In game controllers windows, and in target software no command works. I try to calibrate, but the stick cursor (and other axis also on thrust) doesn't works. IT is some software/drivers problem or Hardware issue ? Thanks in advance

Is this a new Warthog HOTAS or a used one?

 

Install the latest TM Warthog HOTAS drivers.

 

Be sure to connect the USB to a powered USB port or directly to your computer (not a un-powered USB HUB for instance).

 

- Be sure that the two HOTAS Warthog components are installed correctly and appear as standard "HID-compliant game controller" in Device Manager.

 

- Both devices should also be working correctly in Game Controller

 

If one or both of the HOTAS Warthog components are not enumerated correctly, or display a "!" in Device Manager, try connecting them to another USB port.

 

That's a start.

 

If that doesn't work your warthog may not have any firmware in it.

 

There is a Bootloader method in the PDF attachment below that shows How to wake your HOTAS Warthog if it is no longer recognized on PC (i.e. in the event of firmware loss).

 

Hope this helps! :D

Thanks for reply

 

The Hotas Warthog it's new.

 

I have installed the latest drivers from this link.

 

I try to plug in all usb port (usb 2.0 and 3.0)

 

In device manager doesn't appears like "HID-compliant game controller"

 

But under Human interface device appears with other name like "hotas Warthog bulk"

 

In "Game controller" doesn't appears. Display in Game controller only with Target sofware, but axis and bottons doesn't works.

 

I have already try with bootloader system exactly like in pdf attachment.

 

In the firmware update appears error error timeout device should have arrived in HID, code 0x34100002.

 

I try on 3 different pc (one with windows 8.1 and 2 with Windows 7).

 

All 3 pc are correctly update.

Well this is going to be a bugger to fix I guess.

 

There is a program called USBDeview that lets you view all installed/connected USB devices, as well as all USB devices that you previously used on your system. Go here at http://www.nirsoft.net/

 

It also lets you reset any old entries that may have been connected (my Cougar HOTAS has not been connected to my computer for ages, but there is a reference to it in my system that this software still sees). I know that the Cougar had a similar problem sometimes and deleting/resetting old references to it in this program fixed it. Plugging in the Cougar after the reset just created new USB port info that worked. Just be careful, it's a powerful program.

 

Another thing it could be is a bad solder connection somewhere in the Warthog or a bad USB cable.

 

I assume this had worked at one point because you would probably have sent it back to TM. You should contact TM if you haven't already.

If you've tried it on 3 computers and had the same issue then I'd say its faulty, send it back as such.

And lo, Reverend Vegas did say "Take forth unto the infidel the mighty GAU 8 and expend its holy 30MM so that freedom will be brung upon them who knoweth not the joys of BBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTT"

I agree it does sound broken. However, it seems rather against the odds that both units would be dead since they are completely separate sets of components.

And then :)

 

I try on 3 pc.

 

Perhaps some problem with firmware of Warthog ?

Agreed. Just because it is against the odds doesn't mean it can't happen.

One more thing: Warthog doesn't works also before update firmware.

 

Perhaps drivers update firmware ?

It should work straight out of the box, if it doesnt send it back.

You shouldnt have to update the firmware for it to work, you should just unpack it, plug it in and it should work.

If it doesnt, and doesnt work on 2 other computers then its faulty, send it back for replacement.
