Warning
- UPDATING THE FIRMWARE
To ensure that your F/A-18C Hornet Add-On Grip functions correctly with the HOTAS Warthog base, it is imperative that you update your base’s firmware with the latest version (select Drivers and follow the instructions describing the download and installation procedure). If you don’t update the firmware, your flight stick will not be recognized correctly, in particular in T.A.R.G.E.T.
Your joystick’s Firmware version appears left of the serial number in T.A.R.G.E.T COMMAND CENTER. Firmware: 12 is the latest version.
T.A.R.G.E.T software version appears at the top right corner of the T.A.R.G.E.T COMMAND CENTER window. v3.0.21.910_rev1 is the latest version.
