Warthog Slew workaround,a new one! (perhaps?))

[Lobo LXII]

Not sure If I've just rediscovered the new world or If this is something new.

I was watching a u-tube video about slew button replacement and it got me to thinking.The Mic button and the Slew button were very close to the same size.

 

 

The only thing that works on my slew button is the center press.So I dis- assembled my right throttle handle and the two buttons were the same size!

 

 

You guessed it,I swapped them.took me all of 10 minutes.I went in game and assigned my slew buttons to the re positioned mic switch and it works like a charm!

 

 

 

The video was by a guy named weltensegLA and can be found here

 

 

The button bodys are keyed,so line them up and don't force them into place.

the old slew button is kind of tall,so you might want to add an extension to

 

it.

 

 

Hope someone else finds this helpful

In my opinion the only good slew-upgrades for the HOTAS-Warthog can be found here:

Anything else is toy quality!

I agree,those are nicer.But mine is cheaper :) I'll get one of those later.

In the video I only replaced it with a new one.

I did link to a DIY-modification somewhere in the comments though.
