Have the throttle wheel on the Combat Stick set for rpm. The problem is that when logging into the game,
none of the controls on the stick do anything at all. The controller doesn't even appear in the controller drop down list. The X-52 throttle works but for some reason never reaches full power at full throttle. All the buttons work fine on it.
If I unplug the usb hub the controllers are hooked into, then replug and calibrate in game - everything works fine.
Also tried plugging the controllers into individual slots without the hub and had the same result.
Another thing I noticed is if the war is won, I lose calibration again and have to unplug and recalibrate.
Have had this computer for a while and this problem just started a few weeks ago.
edit: I may have just figured the origin of the problem. When I first installed the CH stick, my dvd drive didn't work, so couldn't install CH hardware manager (or whatever it's called). Later, got a new DVD drive and installed the program. I think that's when this all started.
The problem is I really need that program installed because the "greatest stick you can buy" (sarcasm at 100%) can't hold its center without a calibration from the hardware manager. Before that was installed, the x and y axis values would jump all over the place when the stick was centered (as viewed in the "map controllers" part of the AH clipboard). It works fine after I calibrated it in the hardware manager. But now I have to unplug, plug and recalibrate every time I log on to AH.
So now what do I do?
