why I love my old Analog CH Fighter Stick and stuff, got memory chip built into the base, never loses anything......stick is just worn out though...........
in AH you got to set all inputs on both sides of the screen click apply/ok
same when stick mapping & keymapping........
not up on CH Manager, for that is with CH Products USB stuff, but sounds like if ya use it it holds same purpose as the memory in the old analog sticks........
checkout stickset up on netaces.org or Aces High Help on the website...........
to add, I agree with Murdr, if ya not using any stick-based software to set it up, when you unplug it you lose everything.....the way of USB
