Dodgeza Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Hi Guys, I was just wondering if any of you had experienced and issue with your Warthog Throttle. I turned my PC on today and it is completely dead. It was working last night in flight and today with no change its just dead. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I paid $1000 for this thing as I am in South Africa and pretty bleak about it. Hoping its a common problem else getting it fixed is going to take 3 months at least. Thanks.

Wartski Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Nevermind - seems to be a common problem - SUCKS! Probably the O/S lost track of it. Unplug, reboot, plug. If still not ok I would try reinstalling the software. check connections too. W7 x64, i7 965, Rampage II Extreme, GTX480, 6GB Corsair 1866 cl7
Kaitsu Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Mine stopped working a couple of weeks ago. Took it back to the shop. They said couple of throttles have been returned to them and gave my money back since they did not have a replacement. Ordered a new one from an another shop 100 euros cheaper. :P So it went well for me and I hope you get yours replaced soon as well.
tusler Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 I bought mine last november and it just quit on me today:( No lights and Windows 7 or XP does not recognize it as a throttle. All it sees is something called Hotas Boot. I am taking it back to Walmart tomorrow and hope they will take it back. $500 paper weight:cry: Ask Jesus for Forgiveness before you takeoff :pilotfly:!

Geez dude, where did you buy it from? You got smoked BADLY! Few of us here bought it as well and did not pay nearly that much! Sux though, would be interested to know the dialogue between you and TM. Keep us posted for future reference. With the price of ammunition these days do not expect a warning shot.
Succellus Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 My with importation taxes and transport costed around that, 1100 USD. I had not an issue yet, but if i have a bricking, TM will exchange it and reimbuses costs. It ll suck to stay without throttle for some time, but i prefer a delay than have a sucky controller.

Tucano_uy Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 Hi RogueRuner, Where in RSA did you get yours and how much did you pay for it? Afrimart.co.za has it on their web for R5692. I wonder what happens if it gets bricked, who will replace it... So far it is on my wish list. Cheers
