usafphantom2 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Hey! I’m trying to get back into combat sims after a 10 year break. I have a warthog throttle that has its Z axis reversed outside the game it’s not supposed to be like that I know you can trick it in game but that’s not fixing it so I hope someone here has had this problem and been able to fix it and will share. Second I was updating the firmware thought that was throttle problem it wasn’t but anyway the throttle updated and my stick got an error message saying it was taking too long for the Bootloader and then my joystick disappeared from device mgr and controls screens. I swapped it through all my usb ports and it wouldn’t come up. I manually checked the connectior on the base and joystick pins all ok, I tried the Bootloader procedure a few times and nothing comes up. All controllers appeared and were working prior to this except the backwards throttle. Pray to God that someone has gone through this too and found a fix. I will post the fix for mine if somebody can help me find it. I have an old computer that has a lot of my old flight sims on it Win 7 64Bit Home Im putting a new one together but I still want to use this machine for those sims. Thanks in advance for any helpful feedback. God bless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xoxen Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) Hi, I did not have issues like you with the reversed throttle, but can remember I had issues with the firmware upgrade. I read somewhere that it is wise to use an older USB 2.0 port. Additionally maybe this link helps you, I got mine solved by following the description for the bootloader method. Bootloader Method TM This is directly from Thrustmaster so this should not create too much risk. I hope this helps, let us know please. Edit: In the link mentioned in the manual I guess you need to download the package driver which includes the firmware.

Hempstead Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Try plug it in a motherboard's USB2 port. Try avoiding any USB3 port if you could. Do not use any USB2 or USB3 port on a hub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
