Viper TQS throttle problem
-
@scubapics is this with Target running or without?
I think there’s an easy registry hack to get back the stock Windows joy.cpl experience … if you want to try that (to recalibrate)
-
@airtex2019 I don’t think that will work as I installed the device onto a machine that has never had it installed previously. By virtue that it is also triggering a button press by just moving the throttle indicates a fault in the code within the device itself.
-
@scubapics Have you had any answer from TM support ?
same probleme than yours today, Just after iddle detent, from 0 to 80%.it appear that I can’t disabled virtual buttons too.
-
@Wingedsky @scubapics the symptoms here sound very similar to bug(s) that I fixed just yesterday…
I mean, if DCS and other apps are broken too, then yeah ok it’s clearly faulty hardware, return it.
But if the problem is just BMS … please consider trying the latest alpha-build of Alt Launcher to see if it cures the problem.

I did but I had already started the RMA process. It was collected today.
They wanted a video of the fault. I had already sent one with the support request. I fully expect others to start seeing this problem along with the replacement having it soon too unless it’s fixed in a firmware update.

It’s not game related. The fault is with the unit itself as can be seen in the windows control panel
game controllers applet. -

@Wingedsky @scubapics cool… well, not cool … but I’d feel bad if a simple bug caused a number of people to return their nice new throttles
-
@scubapics same problems as the ones I encountered. I returned the TQS to the seller and am expecting a replacement any day soon.

@Bikeman said in Viper TQS throttle problem:
I have a strange problem with the TM Viper TQS. All the buttons work OK in BMS but the throttle itself does not increase incrementally when I move the throttle forward. Instead, after just 1-2 millimiters of movement the Z axis indicator jumps to the afterburner position. No way I can increase power just a little bit at a time.
I reinstalled the driver. Is there a way to reset the TQS or do I have to calibrate the throttle. If so, how would I do that? Configuring the Z axis response in the T.A.R.G.E.T. app doesn’t make a difference.
Could it be that the potentiometer is fubar? If so I would have to return the device and ask for a replacement.
Any ideas/help are greatly appreciated.

Problem solved. I returned the unit and got a new one. New it works like a charm. Makes one wonder what kind of quality control TM has (if any).

I returned mine today too. Will have one new soon

@Bikeman thanks for the followup and confirmation on this, everyone
-
My unit has been returned to the supplier. They’ve agreed it is faulty and should be sending out a replacement shortly.
-
My replacement has arrived and works as it should out of the box.

@Bikeman
Happy to hear this solved your issue. This TQS when it is working is very impressive.
Takes a little time getting use to hand and finger/switch memory.
Well worth the effort. ENJOY! -
Fingers crossed that this one lasts.
