glazier1333 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 is there a calibration page for the hotas warthog somewhere other then the windows cali. my stick is pulling to the right even after i calibrated it in windows, kind of annoying spending 380.00 for a stick that pulls. :joystick: Thermaltake Tsunani Dream black case, AMD Phenom II X6 1100t Black Edition --- ASUS M4A79T Deluxe - 790FX MOBO--- G.SKILL 8GB DDR3 --- Western Digital VelociRaptor 10000 RPM--- SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6670 1GB ---- SWIFTECH APOGEE H20-220 "Ultima XT" Liquid Cooling, TrackIR5 TrackClip PRO , TM Warthog Hotas:music_whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
july865 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 there is no calibration. in the sim it does pull right due to unbalanced wing load Asus x99, i7 5930k, 32g mem, MSI 1070GTX, 970 Samsung M.2, LG 35in Ultra-Wide, TrackIR 4 Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleshpiston Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) interesting stuff. tm indicated that the warthog does not need calibration..... kool find. Never saw that. The fact they have released the tool to calibrate it says otherwise. ;) It works out of the box with DCS A10C but it still needs to be calibrated for a majority of people. You can check in TARGET to see if it is off centre.

wess24m Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Didn't make a diff in my stick, I wasn't having issues with it just wanted to make sure it was as close to perfect as I could get it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I calibrated my throttle and it works great, after the cali it confirmed the cali was complete, as for my stick, that's another story. It asked me to plug in the stick usb, went thru the 4 point and space bar for the stick, told me to unplug it and no confirmation of sucess. Then it tells me to plug it in and goes thru it over and over and never asks for buttons .... It still pulls to the right and climbes. I trim it in game and it gets close but not right and if put on autopilot it goes back to the default :( Is this how it worked for any of you guys or do I have a bigger issue?

Tango Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 The Warthog doesn't require calibration - that is the beauty of the position sensing system! You do not need to flash it either - DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY as you risk creating problems/bricking the unit(s)!!!!! I have a low 1000 s/n unit and no probs. Perfect out the box, and not flashed. Best regards, Tango. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect out the box, and not flashed. Best regards, Tango. I would double check this info on not flashing the firmware. I am not sure this is correct. It was my understading that the bricked throttle failure has affected fewer units since the latest firmware. It would be too late to flash it to the latest revision once the throttle is bricked. I also have a very early unit which has never given me an issue. I flashed it to firmware 20 from 18 as soon as it was released. The LED's now go dark as they should at shut down. I would not hesitate to flash it to the latest and I believe that is the general consensus of most current WH users. Of course it is up to you. :) Out Edited November 20, 2011 by PoleCat http://www.104thphoenix.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galagamo Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 It is highly advised to flash to the latest FW, and the WH does require recalibration from time to time. Dont use the windows calibration app, if you already have, you should go back to the controllers property's page and reset it to default then use the TM app to recalibrate your stick [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] OS:WIN7 HP X64|MOBO:ASRock Z68|CPU:I52500k@4Ghz|RAM:12Gb 3x4Gb GSkill Ripjaws 9-9-9-24 @1600Mhz|GPU:ASUS GTX580|HDD:2x128Gb Crucial sataIII SSD raid0|PSU:Antek 1000watt|Case:Antek 1200|Peripherals: TMWH|Saitek ProFlight rudder pedals|TrackIr4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopeless Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I must be doing something wrong. The joystick calibration keeps repeating itself. When it says something like "Push the stick forward SLOWLY, then press space" I push forward for about 5 seconds then hit space, let it centre again then follow the next instruction. But at the end it says the same thing "Plug in joystick to start" When I use TARGET Device Analyzer, and move the stick about, both the values always return to 32768. Does that mean it's properly calibrated? The only reason I ask is because when I mess about flying (not pressing buttons) just moving the throttles at the same time, the plane always starts turning right a lot. Is this a natural characteristic of the A-10, or is my stick not set up right? In over 30 years of gaming, I've never experienced anything like this before. I'm up to page 148 in the flight manual and every sentence is so hard to understand, and I've forgotten most of what I've read, but there's something so awesome when I'm up in the air. I'm determined to get it right. Please someone put me out of my misery, what am I doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks From what i've read and experienced, it's the dynamics of the sim. I've noticed that when ever I change my drag ( Firing Mavricks or releasing bombs I need to reset my trim in flight,) is this a common thing ?

Slayer Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Guys I had this same issue with my stick always pulling to the right etc. I can tell you it was NOT a calibration problem. There are 8 black screws 4 in the top and 4 in the bottom of the stick that will loosen up over time. No idea why there is no locktite on them.. The 4 on top are under the chrome trim ring, you have to remove the joystick handle then the 8 chrome screws holding the trim ring, once you get that off there are 4 black screws. the ones on the bottom all you do is remove the bottom plate and they are right there. Just CAREFULLY tighten them back up. Note: DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THEM (mine feel like they are half stripped out from the factory) my guess is someone didnt have their clutch set right on the assembly line.... Also you need to do both sides because the top and bottom screws go into the same posts.

Deceter Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Did anyone ever get a resolution to this problem without returning the stick? I've just brought one and I am having this same issue.
