HOTAS ORION only flashes green A/G and A/A keys after updating...

I used the throttle for over a year without any problems. And today I ran SimAppPro(after over a year), which showed me that a throttle update was available. So I clicked to make it. The update went well - at the end it showed SUCCESS, and then the system started making a sound as if I was disconnecting and connecting the device to USB. And so on and on... Now only the A/G and A/A keys are flashing green and the system does not see the throttle (it doesn't even see it in Windows>Print and Device as a BOOT device). I tried connecting it to every USB port and it didn't change anything. 

I sent an email to: info@winwing.cn with a description of the problem, but maybe some of you have already had a similar problem and know how to solve it.

There are only 100 characters to describe the problem - it's hard to summarize it like that 🙂 But I sent the ticket too.

Update - something must be wrong with this firmware version. When I unfastened the f16 throttle Grip, the system saw the base. I did the update - everything is fine. When I connect the f16 throttle grip, it ejects the base from the USB and the A/G and A/A keys flash. It worked flawlessly before - I didn't touch anything, I just updated it. As if this firmware version doesn't support f16 throttle grip?

Maybe it's enough to upload an old version of the firmware to solve the problem - but only the latest ones are available on the website.

I managed to solve the problem myself. I found a folder with archived firmware versions for ORION BASE 2:

https://download.wwsimstore.com/download/Firmware/WINWING_THROTTLE_BASE2/

I uploaded version 1.51 and with this version the base saw the throttle handle.

My F16 TGRIP had Hardware version V1.00 and Firmware version V1.10

I updated the throttle handle firmware to the current version V1.23 and then I updated the base again to version V1.61 and this time after the update it works normally.

 

I recommend updating the throttle handle firmware first...

Hello.I'm having a similar issue

I just purchased a Orion#2 throttle base with F-15 Grip[grip has not arrived] When I plugged my base in  with my F-16 grip I got same results as you did on your initial first run.I was able to download a firmware update for the base and it is recognized in SimappPro and that seems to work now.

But I can't seem to get SimappPro to recognize any of my grips,BlackShark/F-16.

Can you tell me where you found the folder location to manually add a firmware update?

OK...Success!!! I switched my F-16 grip to my Orion #1 base then it was recognized and I updated the firmware... Once that was done I switched it back to Orion#2 base where it was recognized and works perfect.

Also I was able to see in SimAppPro where to upload other versions of firmware.....***Advanced Mode*** Is where to L@@K  😉
