July 4, 20187 yr Bought a Thrustmaster USB joystick from a website doing a Special Offer on the web. No drivers, no software. Trying to calibrate it but cannot get the slider to operate the throttle. The 'X' and 'Y' axis calibrate okay. The trigger switch operates the Brakes, and the hat-switch the POV, but the slider I get no throttle. Any help appreciated. Rick Almeida
July 4, 20187 yr Commercial Member I Googled "Thrustmaster driver download" and the following site came up immediately. https://support.thrustmaster.com/en/cat-joysticks-en/ You'll be able to download the drivers there. After install the drivers and rebooting, test the Thrust Levers in Windows. If they work, great! If not, you likely have a hardware problem. Best wishes.

I think the sellers down in Derbys, have sold me a pup, because I have a Microsoft Force Feedback 2 joystick on another FS Set up elsewhere, which despite having been in use the last 10 -12 years has never been a problem. This Thrustmaster, I cannot even locate the model, and had gone to that same website, and could not find drivers. The slider control just does nothing to the throttle inputs. It shows up in in one of the Axis when I slide it forwards,when calibrating from Windows Control Panel but when I look at the throttle on any aircraft, that slider does nothing. Have to resort to F3 to get the throttle to increase. Hence I feel, I've been sold a pup. Rick Almeida

July 4, 20187 yr Author @Greg I spotted the image of my Thrustmaster joystick on that Support link Dave sent. Model on the box is just USB Joystick, I have sent Thrusmaster Support a ticket to determine why the slider at the left-hand has no effect on an aircraft throttle. Hopefully, they may shed more light. Rick Almeida
