Help needed urgently with my TM Hotas ! !

[P-51]

but you can shoot, dive, climb etc ok? i have had a problem where the stick's axis's wouldn't work but the buttons did. I just turned off all controllers (unpluged the TM) waited about 1 min and just plugged the TM back in.

Yes this is the problem.
The weird thing is that after leaving it plugged in for some 30 minutes it seemed to be ok. Played some training missions to get familiar with it when suddenly left X-axis seemed to be less functioning.
Today the problem persist, The X-axis first only functioned to the right and not to the left. Unplugged it and waited some while before plugging it back in. NO X-axis functioning after that

That is strange.. have you tried the thrustmaster web site?

Yes I tried the homepage but no help there.
After several attempts to set presets and reset to default set, up its clear that the stick doesnt respond on the X-axis switches.
I have therefore returned the damn thing in hope to soon get another one that works.

It must be the stick as i cant think of anything that would do that to it.. Its a really good stick once you get it working.

How do you drop bombs with the Hotas?

[KAV]

So finally my replacement TM hotas has arrived.
Plugged it in and it worked perfectly

This means the first one was not OK and I had to wait one month and double the costs of my purchase

Now its back to playing the games campaign and single missions in realistic and simulator with the new TM Hotas.
