My CH New Machine
« on: October 16, 2020, 09:45:23 AM »
CH is giving me fits on my new machine. I always used the software for my setups. On my new machine I have issues being able to load my setup. If I do load it, and it works.... the next time I fly MSFS2020 it quits.

I tried just mapping in game and the next time I start game, it is all gone.

If you are using Windows 10, in the search field enter "store".  This will bring up the Microsoft store, close the app/window when it pops up.  Now you will be able to open Control Manager and load a .map file without problems.  You will have to repeat this process whenever you play AH or any other game.

I ran into this too Shuff. First, what AKAK says. MS Store app conflicts with it somehow. I just disable it so it doesn't run at startup. You have to have control manager, I think it's v4. 55a for it to work in Win10. Others won't work. That was the last version they put out specifically so it'd work with Win10.

Process is open the program. Set it to "off" mode. Load a profile. Hit download. Click on "mapped" mode. Exit. Should work now. Not using that sequence may grey out your off/direct/mapped buttons and only a system restart will cure it. It's squirrely in Win10. Had me pulling my hair out til I found that sequence on another forum.

Oh and chances are it won't remember the profile next time you start your PC. You'll have to do that every time.

On another site I also saw where they said to go into device manager and untick box in power management.

First thing I did was reinstall my Ch software. It is 455a. It then fully recognized my gear again.... which it was not doing as it had before.

I'll be trying the other things yall suggested. I do not think it likes when I play AH and then switch over to fly MSFS2020.

Yeah you're gonna have to go thru that sequence in my other post every time you switch profiles. Can't just switch em like before. No biggie as it's just a few extra clicks but I've messed it up switching games too.

OK Now I load and pedals, throttle work fine. All the buttons and hat work on Fighter Stick.... but will not move ailerons or elevators.

Tried reloading, calibrating.....

Make sure the axis have been assigned in AH.

They have... but do not register anything when I move the stick.

The stick works in MSFS2020 with no control manager.

Check it in CH manager. Try to calibrate there. Odd how it had been working but now it's not.

Does nothing as in the numbers don't change in AH map controllers? That's odd. If the numbers ARE changing make sure the axii are actually assigned to pitch and roll.

Numbers do not change for stick X and Y. All buttons work.

Man that's weird. Usually the deal is if windows sees a controller, AH will make use of it. Numbers for the axii change in control manager but not in AH. That's a new one.
