Not the same as the Warthog only has firmware, no loading for scripts etcetera like Cougar. What does reset the Warthog is: unplug, push both buttons (AUTOPILOT & SILENCE) whilst plugging back in. Release buttons after some (5?) seconds.
I have to use that in case the TARGET GUI hangs on getting firmware information, happens sometimes with mine. Only throttle, on the joystick it works every time without a problem.
