jerda Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 I've finally got the email ; "Dear Customer, Spare part(s) for your product will be sent to you today." I hope they are just kidding -spare parts? Ha! Guess I'll find out in 5-10 more days. They did not mention anything about refunding my shipping. I'm so tired of calling them, i dont know if its worth losing my sanity.
S77th-konkussion Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 heh.. I'm not totally writing off the idea of getting the WH at some point.. But I'd prefer to buy the A10 throttle from CH and call it a day... My FS is perfect for DCS A10 as is.. http://www.ch-hangar.com/forum/showthread.php?6773-CH-Products-announces-new-military-grade-controllers&p=41284#post41284 [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=43337&d=1287169113[/sIGPIC]

Didn't you send them the entire throttle assembly?

jerda Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 What do they mean by "spare parts"? Didn't you send them the entire throttle assembly? Yes, i shipped them the whole throttle. I think(hope) the email they sent was a carbon copy of what they send to everyone...maybe its a bad french translation?... or maybe i'm gonna get a box full of spare parts to look at? who knows? At this point i'd say anything is possible.
SonofEil Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 I honestly don't think the quality of the parts and build can justify the $500 tag. Problems that I've encountered include: Stick is off center, biased to the right. (waiting for TM calibration tool....) Throttles are wobbly. Pinky switch is loose. Flaps switch plastic hat keeps falling off. (I didn't expect to have to super-glue parts.) I'll probably be returning mine to Wal-Mart (cringe!) because of the stick problem. It won't calibrate with Windows device manager, I doubt any calibration utility TM sends me will work, if they ever bother to send it. (I've just begun my TM customer service ordeal, and it doesn't look good!) I think it's a hardware issue. The WH has a lot of good attributes, but I expected much better for the steep premium. i7 7700K @5.0, 1080Ti, 32GB DDR4, HMD Odyssey, TM WH, Crosswind Rudder...

When I sent my bricked Throttle to Canada, in one week I got a new one shipped from France. Now today I just recieved my old throttle returned to me. The box was never opened. I guess I have spare parts. :lol: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Greb Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 I am so glad I waited on this product. I feel for you all on this one. 400 bucks for a piece of equipment with these issues must be so frustrating. I try to hold to my philosophy on flight sim gear that I do when it comes to cars.....never buy the first production run. I am so glad that did on this one!

Sorry about this comment, I understand now that its off topic, I thought Greb meant "you all" owners, but he probably meant "you all" having issues.

brewber19 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 I have a TM Warthog and love it. If CH made one, I would buy it in a heartbeat, with complete confidence it would work (I have a CH Fighterstick, throttle & pedals prior to WH). However, its 14 months since this artwork was released, and no news from CH so...not confident we'll see one any time soon. heh..

Greb Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Don't get me wrong fellas! I would love to own one, just can't afford to take that kind of risk on one yet. ....and with my luck .....I would get a bad one. It's just written in the stars.
mtuckner Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 I'll add my name to the list of having ZERO problems for two months of ownership. Love the thing, won't fly without it.
jerda Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Thats like saying, 'I smoke cigarettes and dont have cancer.' Just because it seems alright now, it doesn't mean somethings not gonna break later. Didn't you read the surgeon generals warning on the side of the WH box? ;)

Succellus Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Well now that you say so... but i would have to get there and go back the same day and find one for less than 500 ... unprobable.

Funkyjazz Posted January 22, 2011 Author Posted January 22, 2011 This is so depressing, so much wanted to buy one of these. Am not sure everyone with a problem is posting either, spoke to a friend who is on his 3rd stick due to faulty trim hatswitches. Am hoping they get it sorted it's sad to see a company go to so much effort only to have this drama. I wish more companies would keep their manufacturing in their own countries like CH does. I would pay the extra happily.
