Title: Mix and match hotas question
Post by: ML52 on March 09, 2017, 12:42:07 AM

I have a warthog hotas system that works ok, some buttons on the joystick giving me problems. I am thinking of getting a CH Combatstick and keeping the Thrustmaster throttle. Any ideas or problems to be aware of?

I asked this question just a few weeks ago. The experten answer was, Yes.
As long as the operating system recognizes the controller, AH will map it.

Mix and match as you like, I do!
I use a VKB Gladiator Mk2 stick, and an X55 throttle. Works just fine,  :aok

I am using a BRD-DS joystick base with TM cougar grip, a TM cougar throttle(with usb adapter), and Crosswind rudder pedals with no problems.  I just calibrated in Windows 7 without using the Thrustmaster software and AHIII worked without a hitch.

Hope this helps.

 My old Saitek X55 throttle went  south , so I dismantled the throttle assembly and installed a Ch Pro throttle  on top  and using the toggles switches and rotary dials and all are present in the AH3 control panel.....
