Title: Views Are Sticking After the Update
Post by: katanaso on October 15, 2009, 04:17:50 PM

I'm using a CH Setup, and after the last update, my views started 'sticking' when looking around.

I searched for similar posts, and found other people had this problem throughout the years, but I didn't find a resolution.

I've used both the onboard USB ports as well as a powered USB hub, but the problem remains.

I'm using the CH Manager software for the stick.

Some thoughts on troubleshooting:  

  -- Move the views to the 8-way hat on the throttle and see if they stick.

  -- Map all the joystick functions in AH and bypass the CH Manager software.

Any thoughts or are any people have the same experience after the update?

Edit:  I'm running Win 7 64-bit.

Thanks,

mir

I have had this problem off and on for the past few years.  Some nights it happens frequently, then it will go weeks without it.  I finally figured out that if I select the view that is stuck it will unstick.  It can be annoying, but I've gotten pretty good at fixing it quickly.  If you do find a cure, please share it.

mir,  I posted in another thread that my setup was like yours

Win 7 64 bit , CH manager , CH USB HOTAS ( fighter stick, throttle, pedals )

I forgot to mention that I only use the CH Manager to see and connect my devices as one, then I use the keymapping and controller mapping provided by Aces High  ( side note- I have a few templates saved in CH Manager to where I can program macros to certian buttons , like we could do back in CH Speed Keys for old analog CH equipment.........but hardly ever use these anymore )

Murdr suggested this to me a while back........  might be worth trying........

also it might be your key/button or the pot to it has some dirt, trash, is gummed up causing it to stick........ getting some electrical/electronic contacts cleaner to spray it might help......... another suggestion......

Thanks TC.

I'll give that a shot.  I didn't combine my devices into one -- I left them as three individual devices.

I appreciate the info!
