Views Are Sticking After the Update
« on: October 15, 2009, 04:17:50 PM »
I'm using a CH Setup, and after the last update, my views started 'sticking' when looking around.

I searched for similar posts, and found other people had this problem throughout the years, but I didn't find a resolution.

I've used both the onboard USB ports as well as a powered USB hub, but the problem remains.

I'm using the CH Manager software for the stick.

Some thoughts on troubleshooting:  

  -- Move the views to the 8-way hat on the throttle and see if they stick.

  -- Map all the joystick functions in AH and bypass the CH Manager software.

Any thoughts or are any people have the same experience after the update?

Edit:  I'm running Win 7 64-bit.

Thanks,

mir

I have had this problem off and on for the past few years.  Some nights it happens frequently, then it will go weeks without it.  I finally figured out that if I select the view that is stuck it will unstick.  It can be annoying, but I've gotten pretty good at fixing it quickly.  If you do find a cure, please share it.

mir,  I posted in another thread that my setup was like yours

Win 7 64 bit , CH manager , CH USB HOTAS ( fighter stick, throttle, pedals )

I forgot to mention that I only use the CH Manager to see and connect my devices as one, then I use the keymapping and controller mapping provided by Aces High  ( side note- I have a few templates saved in CH Manager to where I can program macros to certian buttons , like we could do back in CH Speed Keys for old analog CH equipment.........but hardly ever use these anymore )

Murdr suggested this to me a while back........  might be worth trying........

also it might be your key/button or the pot to it has some dirt, trash, is gummed up causing it to stick........ getting some electrical/electronic contacts cleaner to spray it might help......... another suggestion......
"When one considers just what they should say to a new pilot who is logging in Aces High, the mind becomes confused in the complex maze of info it is necessary for the new player to know. All of it is important; most of it vital; and all of it just too much for one brain to absorb in 1-2 lessons" TC

Thanks TC.

I'll give that a shot.  I didn't combine my devices into one -- I left them as three individual devices.

I appreciate the info!
