Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog Coolie Switch Problem

[Hindin]

Dear all,

 

I have now my brand new Thrustmaster Stick and Throttle, but I have a problem with the Coolie Switch. It is not working. The only command I can check is the Coolie Switch UP. If I turn the Switch in a circle I get only the command for the UP command, but for no other command (like right, left, down). How can I check if the problem is the physical Coolie Switch. Is there a Software availabel to check the Switch?

 

I know currently only the method to start DCS go to settings and then use the Coolie Switch.

 

Need your help!!

 

Kind regards Hindin

Can you check it in windows to see if it is working properly there?

 

Should be in windows game controllers, and game controller settings for the specific device.

Thank you for that tip.

 

There is something wrong. It is showing only a arrow to the up position, some times it goes to right and left up position (see screen shots), but never to right, left, or down.

 

So I think I have to send back the throttle and the stick.

 

Thank you.

Yep that is a bummer, sounds like you need to get that replaced.

how old is your tm warthog?

[Hindin]

It was delivered yesterday.

So for me 2 days old.

Sad to see such obvious quality assurance issues on such an expensive device... argh.

Although, most posts are as a result of some issue. So it's a skewed sample. But as I stated before, their inside wiring can use a *LOT* of improvement.

 

It's probably loose wiring that's causing Hindin problems.
