Hey all,

This joystick I have seriously needs to be troubleshooted. It is always off-from-the-center EVEN AFTER I caliberated it. And that is just getting in the way of my flights!! My joystick needs either

1) repair
2) new drivers
or
3) replacement

I cannot live with this current situation. The pointer at caliberation is always to the left.
Where can i get new drivers for my THRUSTMASTER Top Gun Fox 2 Pro?

Thanx.

Captain El :x :x

Captain El,

Apparently there are no drivers according to the manufacturer. Information below copied from www.Thrustmaster.Com. I don't know how handy you are with working on electronic devices, but I would not be afraid to open up the joystick base and take a look inside. Maybe there is something loosened that you can fix. I would give this a shot before purchasing a new stick.

Sorry for the bad news. Hope this helps to some degree.

Jaeg-
