Thrustmaster Support - don't bother at the moment

Just a warning to all you Thrustmaster new owners out there. I bought an FLCS just after Christmas to find that all the connectors are AT and not the usual 6-pin standard in most PCs now. I mailed send if you have 6-pin slots (and good Thrustmaster for doing this, most companies would leave you***).... the only problem they have an automailer on at the moment saying they're snowed under at the moment with post Christmas problems and won't answer my mail for several weeks. Tough titties, if you were desparate to play your fave flight sim with your new FLCS! :-(( James Long

This is an industry standard. I used to work for a Canadian retailer where we sold a lot of Compaqs. We used to nick name January Compaq month because we got 3-10 calls a day from people who had gotten sick of spending hours on hold. Even if you get through the service won't be good because the guy your talking to has just spent 3-7 hours talking to people alot dumber than you. -Marshall
