TM Warthog Stick drifting

Sadly this is not about driving rally cars or other type of fun drift…

I noticed lately that there’s a constant pull on the stick that gets a slight roll to the right.
For some time I thought it was some flight characteristic of the plane I was flying, maybe some asymmetrical load, or a quirk of the helicopter, but when I noticed it happened in Elite Dangerous too I whipped out a testing tool and yeah, sadly the stick true center is off form the sensor’s center. :frowning:
Did anyone experience anything like this?

I will try to find a solution on the internet and I am not really afraid of up messing it up -it’s over 15 years old and I will probably having to buy another base anyways.

If it was like the old day’s flight stick it would have a potentiometer to center the drift. :stuck_out_tongue:
Sometimes I miss that old stuff.

EDIT : I’m in a meeting- so I can browse… found this

Which brought up to this…

This is admittedly a few years old so I keep on browsing until I find the latest so far:

I am wary of downloading stuff from reddit but… the user DasBryman seems to be legit.

His post has the version V1.13

So- as soon as I’m home I’ll try that and let’s see what happens. Fingers crossed.

I have calibrated mine about 4 or 5 years ago using these tools. If I ever use my base again (or sell it) I’d probably have to repeat that again but I’ve been using a Virpil base for a few years now so I’d have to check.

FIXED! I’m very happy.
I do feel dumb, but I am happy.
