HT, bad idea. Change it back.



You can set up different functions for the same button in different modes.

Yes, but you didn't HAVE to use modes before, and you got the same result.

I'm not liking the "automatically switch to mode2 for GVs" idea. I used mode 1 and mode 1 on my stick to toggle back and forth and double my meager button count.

Not to mention that there are only so many keys on the keyboard, most of them are used up, finding 4 unused (and memorable) keys to map to modes 1 through mode 4 is going to be hard to do.

I must agree with Kweassa:

It's a major step-backwards, and I sure would like to know why. If it is to solve some unrecognized exploit then I guess we'd have no choice but to accept it, but at least asking for an explanation would not be out of place.

I finally got the backpace key to work on aircraft but still have not figured out how to change from AP to HE in vehicles.This is supposed to be easier for noobs? Not to mention the throttle, rudders, recalibrations for two nights in a row..........so far.

Yea, Im a little unhappy at the prospect of learning to use a new view system after doing the same thing for 10 years.  AW had a defult 2 view set, and I just continued using that format in WB and AH with the use of a 2nd stick set for alternate views.

Krusty I'm not arguing that with you, I just wanted to let the guy know he can set his gearshift buttons if he wants to :)

2nd day spent screwing with this system trying to get my CH gear to work.

No go.

No thanks, you can have it.

Morph I use CH USB gear (Flightstick, Pro Throttle, Pro Rudders) & XP, and it works fine. I didn't have to do anything, just downloaded and installed the update. I don't use the CH utility, I just use the AH stick mapper. The new version is a lot easier to use - if I can figure it out anybody can.

"Hopefully this will also clear the mouse pan /hat view conflicts."

I had to make a clean install to get the views work right.

I actually think the new control setup system is much easier to use than the old one.

However I would have liked to have the dual control, too. Could have been useful to map gear /up down with hook up/down.

1. JS mapping was the most common suport call.I.E. how do I configure my joystick.

2. If you had multiple usb devices and pluged them into different ports after configurationit would loose your mapping.

3. If you orginaly configured by not rebooting and pluging in your sticks. After reboot all mapping would be gone.

4. You could not have different map modes for analog devices.

5. It only supported 32 buttons.

6. People did not understand the scalling/dead band and dampaing.

7. You could not map 2 different buttons to the same function.

8. Ulso under the new system we will be able to ship default configurations for each almost all JS's made.

So just because you were used to it,does not meen it didn't need changing.

Under the new system you can be setup exactly as you were before, with at worst having to do 1 button press at start of flight.
