Thrusmaster Hotas Warthog not working
-
Hi All,
Just to update everyone, I tired everything i could to get the TH to work including the last ditch effort by Frederf but could not get it working. So technically i lost it and what i did was that i removed all devices that is connected to my PC with the exception of my Mouse and keyboard, uninstalled TM Drivers, TARGET Software and did a reboot. Following which, i downloaded the TH driver and software (TARGET) and reinstalled it all over again. Connected by Throttle 1st followed by my stick and i tried running MUD’s profile…Guess what…IT WORKED!!! So what i did was that i reconnected back all other devices back to my PC. So as on now…it’s working as it should be. With this being said, I would like to Thank you all for your assistance and guidance. I’m sure i will face another issue someday but I’m hoping not too. Till then …Happy Flying to all.
Thank you and Regards

That was a wise debugging methodology for PC hardware to OS issues. Go back to the very basic device config (mouse and kb) and add one at a time (to MB powered USB ports, USB2 before usb3 for older devices). Once successful, add one more and repeat test cycle. Wash and rinse until all devices work or identify which is causing the issue. Then isolate the one that fails and try it by itself.
I have found that motherboards have different abilities to power and enumerate a certain number of USB devices, some more and better than others. Which is why when I build my PC, I pick the very best MB which was made for gaming and has 18 or more USB Ports (USB 2 and 3).
Being I use all of these ports (Cougar with TUSBA set, Warthog set, Saitek Throttle Quad, 3 USB LCDs, USB ICP, USB wireless mouse and kb, numpad, TIR, WEBCAM, USB rudders, USB powered hub,… (Think that’s what 16 or so there); its critical that I have a strong USB platform. I use an AUSUS Z87 something MB and Win7 with all the auto powering off. My controllers go to the primary MB backside USB ports, via a powered data switch so I can quickly switch from COUGAR to WARTHOG set as needed (BMS or DCS).
When debugging USB to controller (or any devices),Windows Devices and Printers tool provides USB connection info. To a certain degree, this tool does provide a great way to identify USB details for the devices connected to a PC and to specifically identify what device was connected to what port.
