you can set them where you want to. keep priority/most used buttons easily accessable. less used can be farther away. the hardest part is remembering what does what. after a few hours youll remember though.

Go to http://www.ch-hangar.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=15.  There are CH profiles for just about every flight sim.  

I would offer mine but I have a fighterstick and pro throttle that have been modified for a left hander and some of the switch functions will be the reverse of the standard version.  Also the fighterstick assignments would need to be changed for the combatstick.

If you have one available to use for STRAIGHT UP VIEW it will help you alot. NOt familiar with your stick, but my x45 has a 'pinky trigger' that I use for that view, really helps when the stuff hits the fan and you need to find that bad guy.

Dicho, what i did on my X45 (i was quite lost in the number of buttons, switches and lights at first) was this:

I just mapped a few buttons (the ones i had on my old stick plus a few more), the bare necessities. And got flying. After i got used to the new layout, i started adding functions one by one, as i needed them.

Kind of what I did

took a couple of test flights to see which features I used most often on the keyboard and mapped them to buttons on the throttle.  Getting used to it :)

While not specific to a CH set-up, four commands I've always found usefull are the move head-up, down, left & right.

Hey Balsy, if ya want to send me a couple hundred I'll be more than happy to join the TrackIR crowd, those things don't come cheap !

on the other hand, I set my "mini joystick" on the CH throttle to slide my head positions around. With over 45 switches on my CH set-up about the only time my hands leave the controls is to type really bad words over CH 200 :t

There are three files that make up a map for CH USB controllers.  The extensions are .cms, .cmc, and .map.   All three are needed for the map to work properly.

If you are using the CH program to map all your button then you need the .cms, .cmc, and .map files.

If you are using the Aces High stick programming only, then it would be the .jsm files
