After all this..NOW CH is kickin my butt..
« on: April 27, 2004, 04:46:02 PM »
Buildin the toybox, transfering files from the old machine, updating XP with Bill, Direct X, installing the DSL setup and configuring, updating my email, the squad website software, installing all the software and hookups was a walk in the park..

THIS CH SETUP IN ACES HIGH HAS LOADED THE SMALL WEAPON I KEEP FOR MOMENTS LIKE THIS..

Pro throttle, pedals and stick, all USB.

Wha ???

That wittle thumb hat on the pro throttle is my flight stick..

Need I say more ???????

I want to kick the dog but he expired a few days ago...the poor bastage..

It was a tough week on him..

Sounds like you need to change the Axis of the mini-stick on the throttle. I'm having difficulty understanding your post, however.

Are using the CH Control manager? Or Mapping through AH?

If you are mapping your sitcks directly through AH then

go into to Ah , joystick / select joystick

select roll, select CH stick , select X-axis click then set input

Select Pitch , select CH stick, select Y-axis then set input

For throttle

Select throttle 1, select CH throttle, select Z-axis then set input

For rudder

Select Rudder, select CH Pedals, select Z-axis then set input

Select left brake, select CH Pedals, select X-axis then set input

select right brake, select CH pedals, selct Y-axis then set input

Apply/ok exit.


If you are making your own CH map using ther control manager foolow the site linked above or downlaod revins and modify it as you like.

I have a CH Fighter stick and map rpms to the throttle wheel on the stick, I use the hat on my Pro throttle for Hat views. The fighter stick is to large for me to reach the hat on the stick with out bouncing around.

Hajo I'll take you up on the offer. Can only get the buttons on the stick to work..

That's enough..

LOOK AT ALL THE FUGGIN BUTTONS !!!!

Have no idea how to make the CH stickmap manager work in the game tho..well hell can't get the setup work off AH's setup either.

Right now I can see, shoot, talk, type and I have wep..

That's enough to get killed with.

Not really ready for ANOTHER project at this juncture. Seeing that I have to add the manager to the systems startup files...

naw, enough for the week..

nopoops190@sbcglobal.net

Thanks !!

P.S. IKON I have all AH2 graphics options maxed out in 1024 and have 46fps in the tower online, 65fps offline.  Cpu temp 106F...
No fire extinguishers required :D  They'll be some fiddling with that when I get this stick workin.

nopoop,
its not a ch manager or windows issue, its all within Aces High.
Understand this, since all your equipment is usb, and both the stick and throttle have both a "stick" (via the mini stick on the throttle) and a "throttle slider",  the sim is unable to determine which of the two (throttle or stick) is the primary flight control device. You need to let Aces High know which controller is for what buttons - and assign them.
You don't need to do anything outside of Aces High !
heck, you can solve this within the game, and online in the joystick setup.

Just go into setup->joystick->assign  and do what Batz said.
Aces High supports up to 32 discreet buttons, you need to assign them by yourself in much the same process you assign the axis of each controller to what you wish.

ps- don't forget assigning engine throttles for numbers 2, 3, & 4,  to the same axis and direction as the one you assigned for engine number 1...   and check their axis is correct or you will have a rough time getting off the ground in multi engine bombers & fighters :)

Viff though experimentation I was able to get all three units to work. The stick is the only one that AH will allow me to assign buttons. ( I got enough buttons to get up and flying last night - it was ugly :) )

AH is not seeing buttons on the throttle..

Fired up the toybox this morning and windows sees new hardware and installs the three all over again..

I believe I have to put the "CH start" in my toybox's startup files to remedy that..

I flew the same TM setup for six years, thousands of hours..

I'm easy meat...I can't find the view hat...wait there it is..BOOM

NoPoop

Map is otw with a short overview.  Don't forget, before playing AH you must open Control Manager, select the map, and select the tabs showing stick, throttle, and pedals one by one and load them into control manager.

It is easy to use....You're doing what I did.  I made it more difficult then it was.

G'luck bud.....any questions Email me.

Before you start using Control Manager...

Batz has it right.  If you do what he described it will work great.

I used to use to use the control manager, but I don't like the overhead.  Also, it allows for a delay (albeit short) between input, interpretation and send to game.  Then there is the additional concern of Control Manager crashing in the middle of you AH session and throwing your plane out of control.

Anyway, follow what batz said.  It is the easiest and most direct method.

PS.  I use the same CH set up...it rocks!

nopoop, you can assign the throttle buttons also.

Click button 17 in left window then throttle in middle  then button 0 in right window and click set input.

then 18 -> but 1
19 -> but2
20 -> but3 extera.

Thanks guys, I got it done. Instead of learnin the book from CH, I followed Dales instructions and I got the throttle buttons up. Added CHstart to the toybox's startup files.

Copied the settings and dropped them into AH2. Now I just have to remember what all the fuggin buttons do..

Going to hit the party at AH2 so the 13th can watch me fumble buttons and burn..

Thanks for all the tips.
