If you're having trouble....Throttle doesn't work....fire buttons don't work and you're using control manager there is an easy fix.
Open control manager....my throttle is set as control device 3, the axis I'm using in control Manager is Slider. All I did was then enter AH and went to set joystick. Made my control manager 3 device into throttle 1 (click on advanced) in AH....selected slider and made control device 3 throttle 1.
Have Control Manager Map loaded when you go into AH joystick setup.
And just map what you are using (axis, buttons,etc.) in Control Manager to AH.
Fire buttons...same thing....in AH keymapping all I did was select the key that I have mapped in control manager into AH keymapping. Youll find there is no fire primary, both, or secondary mapped in Aces High. Just map you Control Manager keystroke in AH keymapping....match them and you're in!
remember...have your control manager map activated when you do the above. Only took a short while to figure this out.

I have CH Hotas and run Ch manager 4 in mapped mode and several scripts. I downloaded the 2.08 beta and the gold patch and have had no issue at all with my set up with the exceptions of my RPM Axis being reversed.
In direct mode your devices will be numbered in windows in whatever order you installed them. In mapped mode you have 1 device and it seems that AH has a better time recognizing the axis' correctly.

Using CH manager 4 here. Lost some axis and mapping after the update. Followed Hajo's procedure and am back in business.
Thanks

I'm using CM 2.xx (or somthing) and everything imported perfectly. Only had to copy mod 1 to 2 & 3. Luckily the only thing I use the modes for is re-arranging fire control. That was easy to reset, only 2 changes / mode.
-
Im very happy with 2.08, it finally allows me to use all CH hotas functions without having to run CH software.
:aok

SWEET !!! I run in mapped mode too ... any detail on how you re-reversed the RPM axis would be much appreciated.
-
Just select the advanced option and then reverse that axis.

:aok ... thanks guys.

I run my CH set up in mapped mode. V2.07 worked great, V2.08 not so much. I'm still trying to get back most of my functionality. Having to remap every button every time I turn the computer on gets old fast.
-
I use the throttle wheel on the CH JS as my RPM adjustment. Everything else worked fine, but my RPM wheel was either full on or full off. It was also reversed. Then I figured out you can calibrate that individual axis in the Aces High controller page and reverse the axis too.
Problem solved.

Yup, AH2 sees it as the X and Y axis for the ProThrottle. The Z axis is the throttle slide, of course :)
I use mine to move up, down, left and right in my views. Now if HT would only fix it so that when you use the analog control, your view doesn't go back to the default before you move about.

Don't use the mapped mode :) I don't use any of the CH software.

If I don't use mapped mode AH only sees my throttle but thinks it's the stick:eek:

EDIT:
Reading comprehension is my friend. I'm an idiot. Ignore me!

I have all three CH USB devices plugged in, and AH sees them all individually. Hit the down arrow in the controller selector box, dude :)
Oh....after you kill mapped mode, be sure windows sees yer sticks, eh?

too much of a pain in the ass. wake me up when its over.
-
well, I am using old analog CH HOTAS setup, left stick/throttle loaded with speedkeys, installed 2.081 fresh install.........in offline mode everything worked flawlessly...logged in to online TA and nothing worked except the views and other programmed keys ( that were keymapped )
1 quick run to the control/key mapper, fixed all inputs and all is well, took less than say 2 or 3 minutes tops.........all is good for this ancient stick :D

I use CH Manager to set all 3 controlers as "CH Manager Device 1". No problems. One little note that I noticed in the version change. I had the micro-stick set as the controler for pan mode. You used to have to hit a key to switch to pan mode. Now, if I move the micro stick, it automatically switches to pan view. Using the hat switch automatically switches view mode back. Pretty slick.
-
what was wrong with the way things were before?
-
That sounds really cool. How did you do that?

Same here bruno I use a CH fighterstick usb, a CH Pro throttle usb, a CH pro pedals usb, and a PI Xkeys Pro USB. originaly I had RPM maped to my throttle wheel on my stick and had to reverse it now it seems to be set right. I think it's a prefrence thing any way. All of my buttons are premapped in the CHCM and all my controller show as a single device "CH Control manager device 1". so I had to change nothing. My X-keys pro is in memory resident mode so nothing thier had to be changed.

Now I am not going to sit here and whine like a two year old, but the new patches have completely dumbfounded me. I can not get my controllers to work no matter what I try. Very discouraging. Have the CH HOTAS set up.
Tried what Hajo suggested and can not seem to get anything to work. Is there a way to reset all the stick mapping, / key mapping to a default? When I tried to convert my stuff, it did not seem to work like others are saying it does.

I've never used anything other than the CH software - until now. The issues presented by the new patch, coupled with a rare extra hour of free time, let me map the three CH devices directly through the AH2 setup. I highly recommend this; your views switch noticeably quicker without the middleman CH software slowing things down.
