Title: CH Pro Throttle USB question
Post by: Zaphod on February 19, 2005, 03:26:52 AM

Hey Everyone,

I have a problem occuring with my new CH Pro Throttle.  Many times when I bring it back to idle or just before idle it will start increasing throttle on the motor by itself...as if it is out of calibration.  The throttle itself is not moving, it's just reading as if it's moving.  Sometimes increasing/decreasing it back and forth will cause it to go to idle and stay, other times it won't.

I have calibrated in windows (it puts you on the CH calibration utility) and in AH and it still occurs.  I have also tried using the whole CH setup as Control Device 1 through 3 then mapping with AH.  I also have tried letting AH read all three (Combatstick, Pro Pedals and Pro Throttle) as what they are and then assigning buttons etc through AH.  This problem occurs in both setups.

Any advice would be welcome,

Thanks Zaphod

Did you adjust the damping slider in AH?

Ya, I've messed with dampening and deadband both.  No go....it still will start to increase throttle, then jump back down to idle....then slowly increase again.

Try using the CH uninstaller and get rid of the CH software (using their cleaner makes sure ALL the files go bye bye, the regular uninstall misses some).  You may have gotten a registry entry corrupted.

I've used Control Manager since it was introduced by CH with no problem.  I use it in everything IL2AEP and AH.
