Calibration problem with a CH combo
« on: June 24, 2000, 01:55:00 PM »
Hi,

I have a very strange calibration problem...

I can calibrate the Joystick nicely, but the rudder does not keep its calibration, and the throttle just cannot be calibrated at all.

For the rudder, I get 50% input on the left, and 100% on the right. Calibration solves the problem... for a while.

For the throttle is even weirder : I get to 25% when I get at 75% course. Then all of sudden I get to full throttle with "mad" values : I get something like spiking.

All tests outside AH indicate a rock solid calibration (in W98 and DOS alike).

Specifications :
CH F16 Fighter Stick
CH Pro Throttle
CH Pedals
Thrustmaster ACM Card (this is wher I plug my combo)
DirectX7.0a
Celeron 300a @450
RAM 128MO
Banshee Video card
SB64 PCI sound Card

I get something similar, rudder to the right only goes half the distance I get to the left.  Sometimes have to calibrate 3 times in a row in order for it to get "locked" in for that session, it will work for awhile but eventual I have to do it again, just odd.

Everything else is ok.

Ok, I had some old CH Pedals that I finally had to replace, but they did work fine for years, just got some CH Pro Pedals (analog) and now I have the same problem. Matched with an F-16 Combat Stick, the pedals simply won't calibrate right.

Same as Dnil: heres what I did to solve it:

I use only the DOS cabibration of the stick itself prior to going into the game, never use the Win calibration thingy.

Then, once in game, I use the in-game calibration.

Works fine now, it was only when I used the Win calibration (not Win JOYSTICK) that came with the CH Products gamecard is when things went south for awhile, then I would have to recalibrate the JS 3 times before rudder would work properly.
