I picked up a USB hub that was a PCI card. Gave me an extra four ports. Don't remember the brand but grabbed it at Best Buy.

If you already have usb ports, no need for a pci card, just get a hub.

You can connect up to 127 devices to 1 usb port. As long as theres bandwidth left for the devices (I don't think joysticks use that much), you should be fine.

I just picked up a 4 port hub in anticipation of my usb sticks.

My keyboard also has a hub, which I plugged my mouse and pedals into. The keyboard is plugged into the other hub.

I'd think a hub would be better as a PCI card would probably grab another IRQ and possibly throw off the settings/resources you now have. Plus you won't have to crawl under desk to hook up additional USB devices.

Right on Eagler - I have a 4 port hub that sits next to monitor - much easier to plug/unplug things. Some modern cases come with USB ports on the front too...

I got a hub at Best Buy for $30. Everything is plugged in, now I just need to get an engineering degree to decipher the CH setup instructions.

RAS - I'm in the UK so where I got a hub wouldn't apply to you but if you order online make sure you know what it looks like before ordering - some of them look just flipping awful

heh Pops, drop me a line at hmason@swbell.net if you can't figure it out. I'll send you my number if you don't already have it.

You and Mute still keep in touch?

Got it all plugged in a working, but have a couple of problems:

Needs to be recalibrated every time I start AH. I can live with this (though the analog stuff stayed calibrated), but is it normal?

Completely lost joystick functions in the middle of a sortie. Happened twice. Tried recalibrating/selecting in the AH joystick menu, but didn't work. Had to reboot the computer to get the JS back. I'm sure the TBM pilot had a good laugh watching my 109 spin and crash, but I was not too amused.

Anyone else using the USB CH F-16 Combatstick/Pro Throttle see this?

I'm glad I'm not the only one this is happening to.

Popeye, I use the USB Combatstick 565F and the Analog Pro Throttle and Pro Pedals. I always have to recalibrate inside AH when I enter, too. Haven't lost any function like you have, however.

Kind of annoying ain't it?

I have strange situation here.
I have non-usb CH F-16 CombatStick, CH Throttle (not pro) and CH pro pedals.
I upgraded my pc (motherboard,cpu,mem,HD,video...) and also installed windows 2000 pro sp2 instead of win98se. Everything works! Even CH throttle!!! According to ch knowledge base, it shouldn't because win2000 doesn't have dos. But it just works and even with same configuration that I programmed during WIN98 times! And I haven't loaded throttle dos-based programming software

I consider myself as a lucky bastige

I have lost rudders on occasion. When I do I just unplug then replug them and restart the map and all's good. CH wouldn't talk to me about the problem since I'm using a prototype CH Combatstick with an 8-way hat. Looking forward to the Fighterstick.

I am having problems with my set up as well. I have a Logitech Force Feedback USB Stick with Throttle control and I just added CH Pro USB Pedals. I got everything working finally except for Throttle --It is either all the way on or all the way off--no longer variable control. In calibration it works fine--but not in game. Any ideas?
