blaster454 Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 Any info on the TARGET software? I checked TM's Tech Support download page and they have the Warthog HOTAS listed under PC/Joysticks. There are two download possibilities: Software and Manual and right now they both return a "test" screen. So they are apparently ready for it but there is nothing there yet. I expect it might show up here first. (Link - http://ts.thrustmaster.com/eng/index.php?pg=files_faq ) They are still listing "Ready for takeoff" as today but it's after business hours now in France, I think. 1 WH_Blaster (Larry) :beer: US Air Force (Retired, 1961-1981) Join us for fun with the DCS series and other games at the War Hawks Squad website ... we are a mature gaming group that enjoys realism and having fun! http://war-hawks.net System: i7=950 @ 3.3 GHz, GA-X58-UDR3 MB, 6GB RAM, GTX770, 256GB system SSD, 128GB gaming SSD, TIR5, TM HOTAS WH, HannsG 28-in, Acer 23-in touch screen.
71st_Mastiff Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 thats seems to be typical fashion with TM, remember 10 years ago with the Cougar? Things never change just look at our Government. :lol: I checked TM's Tech Support download page and they have the Warthog HOTAS listed under PC/Joysticks.

MackTheKnight Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 Anyone know where to buy this in Canada? :helpsmilie: Only place in Canada I know of that will carry the Warthog is here: http://www.extremegamingdevices.com I e-mailed them and they said they'd let me know when it's available. So far they haven't been able to confirm a distributer. -Mack
blaster454 Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 TARGET software and manuals may be available on TM's FTP site: ftp://ftp.thrustmaster.com/accessories/pc/hotas/software/TARGET/ Not sure if this is the final release although the exe is labeled as an RC. There was one report where the executable would not run on Win7 64-bit but it might be that the SW requires the hardware to be installed.

Bwaze Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 But Target should also work with Cougar, T16000M and MFD's! I haven't tried it yet, too late today. Manual is really cryptic on some issues: With certain peripherals such as the HOTAS Cougar, you will have to load a specific program into the Cougar Control Panel to get the most out of its possibilities. In particular you will have to make the RDR CURSOR axes visible. And that's the only mention of this, program isn't even named. I hope this is some old manual and software, and they will upload more finished version.

blaster454 Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 I think the video is part of SimHQ's review so they maybe had an advance HOTAS to play with. The review should be out tomorrow or Friday according to SimHQ. As an aside, TARGET installed with no problem on my Win7 64-bit system and recognized the two TM MFD's I had attached.

71st_Mastiff Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 (edited) I wonder if the delay has anything to do with the strike over there in France? :( or protest?

hassata Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Don't think so, because the date on BLT got pushed back before that. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
MTFDarkEagle Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 delivery date has been pushed back for mine as well -_- 10th november.. Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread
kylania Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Yup, two weeks or so for mine. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Christmas Cheer - A Landing Practice Mission : Beta Paint Schemes : HOTAS Keyboard Map : Bingo Fuel - A DCS A-10C Movie
Stachel Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Ordered mine 10/8. Never got a revised date, but ETA now shows PAST DUE. Presumably we've all got a 2 week wait. i7 920 - 6GB - GTX480 - W7 x64 - TIR5 - G940 - Dell u3011
MTFDarkEagle Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 make that 3 weeks -_-' Ah well, being pissed of doesn't help.. Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread
Bwaze Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Most of Europe shows 17. November. But I have a bad feeling that they won't make even that (if the US stores show 2. November at best).
TwoLate Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Just got my email update for November 2nd from BLT. Dang I will be in Mexico drinking Coronas November 4tht thru 11th. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Maverick Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Most of Europe shows 17. November. But I have a bad feeling that they won't make even that (if the US stores show 2. November at best). SimWare shows October 25, Flightstore the same date and Amazon UK October 29. Simware product page showed October 22 yesterday, but today they have updated the date and also their main page says:"Available on Oct.25 ! Pre-orders recommended". Everything indicates it's coming next week.
MTFDarkEagle Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 I think the first batch is coming next week.. The expected delivery date of mine is 10th november... :( Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread
hassata Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Let's hope the friggin strike doesn't affect delivery-it's only getting worse. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
sobek Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) Let's hope the friggin strike doesn't affect delivery-it's only getting worse. Actually i find their morale very admirable, politics in austria have passed far worse bull without people as much as batting an eyelid over here. On a more related note, i guess the first shipments to america are already way out of frances influence. Europe, probably not :cry: Edited October 22, 2010 by sobek Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
MTFDarkEagle Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Let's hope so indeed... I already hate the french :P Especially the dock workers at calais.. (long story short --> they were on strike for something rediculous) @Sobek: that is true. However, the thing the are striking over is rediculous.. With the life expectancy (spelled correctly?) these days. Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread
