9.JG27 DavidRed Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 hey guys, with the new hotas warthog which arrived yesterday, i seem to have one serious problem which prevents me of trying out my new devices.... as soon as im getting close to enemy objects, or at least as soon as i try to put my guns on a target, AI seems to take over control of my aircraft...suddenly my plane not only pulls the trigger of the gun automatically, but also launches all sorts of rockets and bombs without me giving any input...at least not that im aware off. it would be funny if i wasnt sooo eager to finally try and test out my new hardware....is there a "Knight Rider shut up button" ?help me please!

Lange_666 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 it would be funny if i wasnt sooo eager to finally try and test out my new hardware....is there a "Knight Rider shut up button" ?help me please! On those with a higher serial number (can't remember from which serial number on exactly) the Knight Rider shut up button is removed.

9.JG27 DavidRed Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) ok guys i think i found the problem.... in windows calibration, when i move the stick to the right, or fully forwards, windows recognizes that suddenly all buttons on the stick are pressed...this is reproducable every time...moving the stick a little bit to the right, or fully forward, and all buttons are suddenly highlighted in the calibration tool....is my stick defective?should i return it?

Witchking Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 It might be that the wires are getting pinched. I had a similar issue with the boat switch on my throttle and the slew control. If u bought it in store, I would exchange it for a new unit, but if u bought it online, email thrustmaster and they will respond. They may suggest that you should open the stick and check for yourselves before considering shipping it back to them.

9.JG27 DavidRed Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 ok put it back into the box again(luckily i still had all the boxes) and now i make my way to the post office... the thing why im really pissed off now is, that besides its problems, the stick as well as the throttle just felt amazing....and now i will have to wait probably at least another week until i can lay my hands on a new one.... @Rongor: i hope so!never had to return anything to amazon yet.one thing i can say for sure is, that amazon delivered the Warthog faster than any other online store so far...

Rongor Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I returned a graphics card to them three times in a row. Finally I cancelled the complete order and got my money back without any problem. Obviously online shopping demands some patience and returning stuff is not as convenient as in the store next door. At least amazon will do it as quick as possible. And simply disregard the bs our media tells us about amazon these days... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9.JG27 DavidRed Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 ok if that is true what i read in my amazon account, than they are really quick squirrels... 15min ago i was at the post office and sent the stick back...now at my account there is already the new one listed, stating that it should arrive in 2days for off course 0Euro.

LcSummers Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Hi David, thats normal if you buy things by amazon. They want to have the bestservice. I was never disappointed and i bought many things. LC PS: Sorry for your CRAP!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9.JG27 DavidRed Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 well, if that is true, than im fine with it...i can wait another few days....but i hope that thrustmaster has a good quality control, and that the second stick will work correctly. one thing i must say...the things that worked on the previous stick, were just georgeous. the downside now is, that i dont think that they will deliver on a saturday, so i will very likely have to wait until next week...now if 1.2.3 arrives at the weekend, i will not be able to play it, as i dont want to feel the fighterstick for one more second in my hands anymore...the warthog seems to be a different level joystick for sure.

Three different of the same faulty series. So I couldnt trust the product any longer and opted out:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRooDJeRo Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 This exacly why i buy my hardware at a local computershop. When it's broken you can get a new one right away. When something isn't in stock, it can be ordered. Now stop bothering us with posts that should be in bugs and problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I couldnt trust the product any longer and opted out Maybe the PC was somehow responsible for causing the problem? It's hard to believe you were that unlucky.

Python Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I had 3 faulty graphics cards in a row also, Its just luck of the draw sometimes, I guess the tech is so advanced that the tiniest fault or knock during shipping can ruin it. Hope you get up and running soon David... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witchking Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I agree...amazon has the best service. I personally found a cheap price and price matched it to best buy as the warthog was expensive enough to not risk ordering from a cheap retailer online. Just old fashioned in that way I guess. :p WHISPR | Intel I7 5930K | Nvidia GTX980 4GB GDDR5 | 16GB DDR4 | Intel 730 series 512GB SSD | Thrustmaster WARTHOG | CH Pro Pedals | TrackIR4 pro | |A-10C|BS2 |CA|P-51 MUSTANG|UH-1H HUEY|MI-8 MTV2 |FC3|F5E|M2000C|AJS-37|FW190|BF 109K|Mig21|A-10:SSC,EWC|L-39|NEVADA| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now stop bothering us with posts that should be in bugs and problems. well, good for you.your preference....and it would be mine too, if they would sell the warthog in the stores here in austria...but they are not.you have to order it in a store, to then wait at least ~10 days and to pay ~70euros more than i bought it on amazon. nobody forces you to read the thread if it bothers you.
