So TM gave you the necessary utilities prerelease ahead of the general public release?
That's not unusual. Companies will often release software to individuals who are already having problems to test out before releasing them into the wild. This both has a good chance of fixing the customer's problem and helps the company verify it's not causing any other problems. Win-win.
But aren't Thrustmaster doing this in reverse? Surely their product lifecycle, engineering and test acceptance should have these tools ready before the hardware is released for public consumption? Don't get me wrong, the Warthog seems like a great piece of kit (I've owned mine for a week now) but Thrustmaster has done nothing so far to put my mind at ease regarding their commitment, support and reputation. Also, there's nothing in the recently updated software that shouldn't have made it through the beta testing.
It certainly doesn't ring 'win-win' to me just yet. Thrustmaster still have lots of work to do.
So...uh...what revision of your video drivers are you using?
