Sorry for the wrong thread, but there are a lot of FrugalsWorld Refugees here. Allow me for a short announcement. Frugalsworld.com domain name has been snatched up by Isaac Goldstein of Hong Kong, who seems to own thousands of domain names, according to http://whois.domaintools.com/ 's reverse whois.

Some days ago I read posts here about packaging quality and just wanted to tell about my experience. I received my Warthog today and after setting it up on my table an playing around with the controls (which are awesome btw) I found the throttle base lifting a little while pulling the throttles over the detent. After some searching I realized that ALL these thread holes the bottom plate screws are in, are completely broken and shattered to pieces.  I hate it, but I have to return it and wait another couple of weeks for the replacement to arrive. It just sucks! Just as as note for other ppl to perhaps take a look at that, too, when they receive their stick. It might not be obvious at first glance. In general these plastic threads look quite fragile to my mind.

I'm sorry, I KNOW I've seen the dimensions of the throttle base somewhere, but for the life of me I can't find it. Can anyone give me a good measurement for the width & length of the throttle base?

It's not really difficult to find. Just turn the whole throttle upside down. There are only five screws outside at the bottom of the throttle base, holding together the top and the two plates. But if there is no movement when passing the idle detent then you probably won't have that problem.

Sebro,
Guillaume (Dimebug), a Thrustmaster employee, probably wants a picture to show other folks at Thrustmaster. I'm sure this picture would help Thrustmaster analyze this problem more rapidly than they would otherwise be able to.

Here are the dimensions. Sorry, I neglected to post the throttle dimensions in the review... For starters, I'll get the rest later. To be exact HOTAS Throttle: 8" Tall with throttles in the middle and with base Throttle base 10.75" L (9.5625" if the base plate is removed.) 6" W 2.0625" H (only the base, excluding the switches and throttles.) HOTAS Joystick: 11.125 Tall with base Stick base 10.6875" L 9.0625" W Now this is a BETA unit, it could change (but unlikely) for the production unit. Same discussion HERE. Thanks Panther, but i would need the height including the stick and the throttle in middle position. Updated!

more shiping delays from ShopBLT, now pushed back another week. 11-10-10. Seems that the strike is effecting France pretty bad.

Just got a message from amazon.co.uk that Warthog has been shipped I am pretty unimpressed with Amazon UK over my preorder. I had an email from them at 3.49 a.m. 29/10 to say that they did not have an updated shipping confirmation date for my order.Despite them telling me on the evening of 28/10 (when I enquired and they emailed a response) to confirm that the item would definitely be with me on 29/10. In the evening of 29/10 I checked the actual product page to see that the item was in stock and yet checking my own preorder showed it still as "we do not have a revised date etc etc" so I phoned Customer Services who were also unable to tell me why when the item was in stock, my order had not been shipped or even updated to give an actual ship date. They did manage to reprocess my order so that I should expect delivery on either 1/11 or 2/11, I suspect the latter as it's probably unlikely they will ship out on a Saturday:less than impressed with a preorder that had effectively stalled in their system and without me checking stock status, quite likely would have remained somewhat in limbo. Paying for expedited shipping when they didn't ship despite it being in stock is also somewhat irksome.

Any truth to the rumors that the WHs are being held by the US distributors pending patching of the TARGET software?

Exactly the same story here; I even phoned them this afternoon to ask why the order hadn't been dispatched despite me phoning them yesterday to ask why the delivery date of the 29th hadn't been honoured despite showing 'in stock'. If this is another Amazon fob off, then they are going to get the bullet Monday...
