    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Thrustmaster Warthog Stick "Green Spring" Upgrade

To those where who have the Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog Stick, I highly recommend this spring upgrade (The Green Spring) for your stick as it makes it a lighter & a lot smoother and pretty much eliminates the old "Sticktion" issue (where the stick tends to bind which is largely due to the high spring tension interacting with the polymer parts). This gentleman also makes heavier springs for use with his Stick Extensions as well. Here is a link to the parts and a video of the installation. BTW, the parts come from Poland and it took about 21 days for it to reach me here in the Eastern US.

Moderators: I will be posting this at other pages here to help TM Warthog users become aware of this upgrade.

I went with the stick extension. That smoothed it out and gave me much more precise control which cured a lot of PIOs I had with many planes. Just offering options. :encouragement:

Yes, Sahaj makes great accessory options for these sticks. The extension more or less does the same thing as the Green Spring but with the original or heavy springs. I am space limited and have my stick side mounted on the lower desk shelf. The lighter feel also helps with flying Rotors.
