Just use the in game set-up, it works 100%, you may have to reverse the axis on the throttle to get it to throttle up when pushed forward etc. but that's just fine tuning. It's pretty easy to use just ask someone if you have trouble, one of your fellow AH'ers can walk you through it.

Many thanks Brenjen. I had never used the AH controller setup before (always had used Saitek's software) so I didn't understand how it totally worked when I first looked at it. Last night I managed to program just about everything I could think of programming on the CS and the X45 throttle.

I managed to get airborne once again and get some kills. I must have done something right as I even managed to get a flurry of hostile PMs after a heated ground battle. (thanks RTMoose... you made my night with that

)

Thanks again

Alpo, http://www.netaces.org/joystick.pdf for the new Joystick setup. Or look me up in the training arena and ill get you started on stick setup.

I have a X45 myself, never installed the Saitek software, its completely programmed in.

I got an F16 combatstick and pro pedals.

The stick has a major drawback which i noted to late it has only 2 4 way hat switches no 8 way hat switch

.

Apart from that pedals and stick are great... much better controll now if i can get used to using the pedals all the time instead of the rudder rocker which i use as a reflex... didnt know i fly with that much rudder usage.

Well, guess i must buy track IR now since i have no 8 way head switch

.

It's not a CombatStick 568 ??

If it's the old F16 CombatStick ,I don't know it was still availlable.

IMO you should ask for a refund and get a CombatStick 568.

Schutt are you sure you have the programming set correctly? All three joysticks listed on the CH Products web site list 2 4-way hats + 1 8-way hat. I Googled up info on the F16 Fighterstick USB and came up with this:

One 8-way combination hat switch.
Three 4-way directional hat switches.
Three single press fire buttons.
Fast action trigger.
X and Y trim control wheels.
Rotary throttle control wheel.
Single key and macro programming: Lets you configure each button to a single key or string of commands.
Programmable software, point and click graphical user interface (GUI).
LED Mode Indicator Lights
Control Manager software included.
Compatible with Windows 98/Me/XP
Compatible with FS2002 and FS2004
Three year warranty, Made in the USA.

That's correct for the Fighterstick and combatstick 568 but not for the F16 combatstick

I sent my track ir back as ----

The hats are much faster to use in AH . That said in some other games such as Microsoft's 2004 much better to have track ir .

I would if I was you , SEND THAT F16 stick BACK and get the right one , 586 combat stick .

Just do it , it'll be better in the long run .

Trust me ?

I just did use the "agressive" setting for all axis, with some fine tuning to ROLL and Z axis. Basically I just did increase deadband for both.
Now I won´t have to turn my head that much anymore.
Many people have disabled Z axis att all, but I found quite useful after all, increasing deadband was more than enough.

I could email you my complete setup, If you want it

If set up properly , TIr is far superior to any buttons, unless you are one of the few people getting constantly seasick even after fine tuning. And AH2 is the sim which has the best implementation of TrackIr by far. And I don´t know how a combat sim could benefit less of of better views than a civillian sim like FS 2004....
