Title: CH Fighterstick gltch
Post by: Wail on November 17, 2006, 06:51:11 AM

I have had this problem for a long time and was wondering if anyone knows if there is something I can do.
I have all CH Product controllers, Stick, Throttle & Rudders.
OK here is what happens.
Whenever I Dive and get going fast, and sometimes just when Im flying fast, straifgt & level.
I lose almost all Input controll with the Fighterstick. It seems as tho, It just stops responding.
To regain controll I have to move the Stick, fast and to extereme, to regain controll. When it does regain controll, it seems a bit sluggish.
I have Calibrated more times than any human should.
Has or does anyone have this problem, and can ya help?
If the controller was bad, I would think it would'nt work at all.
I can fly with it, but it would be nice to not have that happen.
Any suggestions or help would be mucho appreciated.
Thanks, Wail

It sounds more like you're in compression than a stick problem.

How does the stick work at normal speeds?

Its fine for the most part at normal speeds. Its after I get out of compression when it stops responding.

Wail,

If your 500 + knots in most planes your near compression and your control surfaces will be ineffective.

some planes get that way at 450 +, so it is plane dependent.

What plane are you flying and at what speed do you notice the issue?

email this guy

Michael@mail.chproducts.com

He will likely tell you that you try downloading and installing the latest version of the Control Manager

if USB and I figure you are

Basicly they claim that their software calibrates better.  I had some problems too and this fixed things for me.

Sorry, for the de-layed reply.

Zanth, That just might be what I have to do. Download the CH Software and use it.
straffo, Not sure what you mean, by "pluf the stick" I know what a powered hub is, and that might also do it.
I will give both of these suggestions a try.
Thanks all for the help, & have a wonderful Thanksgiving,
Wail
