Cooter Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 I got my TM Warthog up yesterday with no problems, this morning I put on a USB extension cord, turned on my TV and started up TARGET. All that was shown was the throttle. I took off the extension and just plugged it back in the same USB port to see if the extension cord was not working, but still not recognized in Devices or TARGET. I restarted my PC to see if that would fix it, but it didn't. I tried finding posts here but nothing that helps comes up. I getting a little irritated trying to find out the problem. Please help
tunnel_rat Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 Cooter like tebsu said try another port or go into your motherboard BIOS and make sure you have all the USB ports active.
Cooter Posted April 25, 2020 Author Posted April 25, 2020 I should have mentioned it, but I did try other ports, I even put in in the port the throttle was in, nothing. I plugged the throttle back in and it still see's it. I called a buddy and stopped over there and plugged it into his laptop, nothing under devices and it gave no sound when I plugged it in. So I called my brother and went by him and we tried it in his new PC and downloaded the TARGET software and firmware, nothing on the GUI for TARGET. I don't understand, all I did was turn off my PC at night and started it in the morning to find the stick just wasn't being seen by my PC. I have no kids or animals that could have accidentally knocked around anything so I'm at a loss.
hornblower793 Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 Is the grip still firmly attached to the base? It might be worth unplugging the joystick from the computer and then removing the grip from the base (unscrew the silver ring between the 2) and carefully reattaching to see if the connection between the 2 has been lost. Make sure that you line the connectors up correctly before pushing together Windows 11 Home ¦ Z790 AORUS Elite AX motherboard ¦ i7-13700K ¦ 64GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5 memory @ 5600MHz ¦ Samsung 990 Pro 1TB SSD for OS, Samsung 980 Pro 2TB SSD for DCS ¦ MSI GeForce RTX 4090 Gaming X Trio 24GB ¦ Virpil WarBRD base with VFX grip, Thrustmaster A10c and F/A-18 grips ¦ VKB Gunfighter Mk4 and MCG Pro ¦ Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle ¦ VKB STECS Throttle ¦ Virpil TCS rotor base with Shark and AH-64D grips ¦ MFG Crosswinds ¦ Total Controls Multi-Function Button Box ¦ Pimax Crystal
Cooter Posted April 25, 2020 Author Posted April 25, 2020 Tried that, no joy. I E-mailed Tech Support, I really hope they can help me. It would suck having to buy another joystick, this one hasn't been used hardly at all, maybe 24 hrs. altogether,
ilikepie Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 send it back. it sounds like a fault Action After Contemplation
