the little 'joystick' on ch throttle?
I can't find anything to do with it and it is bugging me.
-
whoa, forgot I had that name lol.
-
if it's anything like the little joystick on the saitek x52........
I have it hooked up as a mouse pan view.
-
I use it for quickly panning inside the plane on instruments, or even ouside sometimes, and the switch as engine toggle.
-
X52 user here. I use the up and side ways postions for "adjusting the seat" (like looking around canopy frames), and use the down postion as a "look down" modifier for the standard view hat.

Here's a CH map with an awesome idea for the mini joystick.
Link (http://forum.ch-hangar.com/index.php?showtopic=181)
In theory I guess you can turn tighter in certain 2 engine planes?
-
Slightly OT, but do you folks using the x52 have the mouseysticky mapped through AH2, or did you have to use the SST profiler? I just got an X52 yesterday, and having a helluva time getting some of the throttle controls mapped.
-
Hub I use the SST. I have all buttons mapped and rotaries set to trim.
The only thing not in use is the slider and mouse stick.
Both of those are to twitchy for me.

Hubs,
I use AH mapping for my X52. I like it better than the SST.

Check out the CH Hanger site as there are a few scripts that can either change the mini-stick for views or use it as a mini-differential throttle. I personally use it for views.

yeah ack ack, i set mine to views today.
-
mine is actually set to pitch and roll trim , helps stop the 38 meteor showers .

Hubs...I have my X52 mapped using the SST software.
All the axis' (axisis, axiees, axi?) on the joystick, i.e. throttle, pitch, yaw, rudder...I have mapped through AH. The rotary knobs I have mapped through the SST and AH depending on what I am using them for....
For trim.....which is an analog input...is through AH..
for something like zoom....I use the rotaries as well...in "band" mode, which becomes key presses
I use my hats as key presses for views and zoom and other things.
The SST handles key presses without a problem...but remember, if you need a press and hold key (say looking right up, or brakes, or bomb site calibration) you have to use the SST advanced commands, to show that it's a press and hold.
Now if you're going to use the "mousestick" on the throttle as a mouse, you have to classify it as a mouse axis in SST, then assign it in AH as an Axis command
Hope this hasn't confused you as much as it has me.

I use it to control my views. Below is the script. You need to program cms buttons 9-16 to activeX buttons and use the pinky button as a shift key.
Example cms button 9 normal = control1-button 9, shift=control1-button 17, so on through button 16, then map these buttons in AH. Map the shifted buttons to the up views.
I use a combined map that combines all controllers into 1 virtual controller.
(variable B99 has to do with another script I use that locks views using the castle hat on the flight stick. I can be removed from this script if used stabd alone)

Thats cool Clif.

X-52 here mine is set to gear and breaks so far.... Some times I set one of the axis for a macro, one time I had it set so if I pushed up it would type
"SHUT UP VIPER" on squad chan :)
-
I've never used my micro stick because unlike the rest of my CH setup, it broke the first time I touched it and I just ignore it now.
