HELP ! CH F16 Fighterstick / WIN2K

[Saintaw]

EEEK !

I had to go for WIN2K on my homesystem, and I installed my joystick alright (tried 4Button/throttle/Rudder drivers as well as the CHF16fighterstick drivers).

Windoze recognises the Joystick alright, but as soon as I fire up SPEEDKEYS, it says there is no joystick...

Ahhh - I just did the same thing - been running win2k for a while, and decided to get my ch pro throttle out of the closet - but the problem is (as stated on CH's webpages) that speedkeys doesn't work in win2k.  Searched the net for alternatives, but to no avail...

What i finally came up with was a dos bootdisk and a copy of the old dos-programming interface for my throttle at ftp.chproducts.com (/pub) (use an ftp-client) -  get the file prothrot.exe. This might work for you too: Just make a folder called "throttle" on your bootdisk and expand the files there.  You can also try some other files there, maybe they are better suited to your f-16 flightstick...

Good luck , and e-mail me in case of problems....

Weee, thanks a bunch, will try that out tonight (I think SOB is the CHF16 Fighterstick --> WIN2K Support expert, or was it Vulcan...   )

I knew it was not supportd, but that didn't mean it's not working at all to me  

Also, not only Speedkeys doesn't recognise it, but neither does AH (only shows mouse in the controlers available)

Don't use the drivers from CH - use a standard 6-button joystick w. 2 POVs and throttle from the joystickapplet in Control panel instead - that way, you should be able to use the stick with some of the buttons and hats...  I would recommend unistalling the ch-driver - Win2k treats joysticks differently than win98/me
