Ch pedals, throttle, and F-16 Fighterstick

[Majors]

Hello All

I have delayed upgrading from ME to XP because I wouldn't be able to use my analog pedals, throttle and fighterstick on XP.

My son has the USB models he paid a lot of money for and uses them with XP, but three separate controllers??

Is there any way to use my old setup on XP?  I have been using them since getting into WB way back in 1997.

Not very sharp on PC hardware and software either.

Any advice or assistance?

Many thanks

you need to install the CH Control manager to "merge" the 3 controller in one virtual one.

Provided you have a joystick port on your PC it should not be a trouble.

To program your controller you will need a dos boot disk you can find here : http://www.ch-hangar.com/
otherwise you can do all the mapping in AH

Many thanks for the response.

I am still slightly confused (remember, dumb PC person).

I was told that my analog controllers (joystick, pedals, throttle) would not work with windows XP.  Also Hotkeys won't work either.

I don't have the USB controllers they require.

Am I just out of luck with the Analog controllers in XP?

Really appreciate your comments and time

Gameport joystick should work under XP.
But you won't be able to program it with the CH utilities (it don't work under NT)

But using a DOS floppy you will be able to program it as the key mapping is stored in the joystick.
