Just got my cyborg evo, but I cant get ah2 to recognize my rudder or my hat switch.. Any help?

start---->control panel----> game controllers.

Make sure it is recognized in windows here. Calibrate it here as well before going into AH. Once in AH you may need to set up your axis (although I didn't have to with mine).

Hope this helps Jetb.

Cheers,
RTR

Not working I noticed when i was installing all these other things like some mouse function. I didnt continue with it and it said your hardware didnt install properly. Its not even recognizing some of the buttons.

Not tooo long ago, my MS stick died, and I purchased an evo as a quick fix until I could find another MS on ebay.

One thing I did that helped me out tremendously was the spring at the base of the stick, where it meets the base, I created some "shims" for it. I would push the spring up, and slide in a shim. I messed with diff. types of shims, starting with cardboard, and diff. thinckness to create more tension. By putting in the shims, I increased the "resistance" of the stick, and found it much easier to controll. Got the idea from someone here on the BBS.

Yeah its very smooth. My old stick every move i did use to stall my plane out. Now with thise stick it does not. Im still missing a few shots due to me not being use to rudder, but im sure ill get use to it

Opps typo 22"

I have dual Monitors the 22" crt I use for gaming and as the main. CRT's refresh faster than LCD's and have clearer images. Than I have a 19" lcd as well. Both are high end and if you look at them closely you can see the CRT edges the LCD out in crispness and clarity. The crt is connected via DVI and the lcd is connected via SVGA.
