Title: CH Stick, Throttle and Pedals
Post by: MWL on June 06, 2008, 11:28:28 PM

Greetings,

  Broke my ol' trusty TM pedals.  (yea, I landing the Spit with half a wing, wish I had crashed instead!)  Any way, ordered some CH pedals as a replacement to match the rest.  Hooked 'em up tonight.  No response on rudder.  Went back to default, now no response on throttle or stick.
  I calibrated in Win XP, calibrated in Aces - and have recalibrated many times.  The little lines move in Aces when you look at the advanced area on a given axis.  However, when I attempt to lift I get no response on any axis - throttle, elevators, wings, or rudders except for a warning of 'Don't move your controls so rapidly'.  Any ideas, or what else to y'all need to know?

Regards,

I have a thought. Had the same problem. Went to the device manager and turned off the power saver option for the usb root.

Also did you load the Control management software from CH. That contains the drivers. I did both of these before testing and my problem went away.

Thanks - made some progress.

In 'Map Controlers' menu, managed to get the random wiggle out through calibration in both systems.  However, when lifting a plane, still no response from any of the input devices.  I can still see the input in the advanced control mapping display.  Is it just not activating the controls when launching Control Mode 1?

Regards,

Got it :)

I noticed when calibrating it stated 'analog'. . . . went back and looked the X,Y and Z had no display associated with them.  Selected the appropriate analog axis to the various places, recalibrated and all is good!

Thanks!
