CH Combatstick Windows10 and USB Sockets

[Mol]

Hi,

Anyone else have a problem with the CH control software hanging up while downloading stick profiles?

I'm thinking it may be an issue with the way windows 10 works with the USB interface and I've been tinkering on that basis.

Only thing that seems to work for me is to unplug the stick and throttle, reboot, plug them back in and try again. Then rinse and repeat until it works.

Needless to say, that routine is no fun at all.

Any tips ideas or suggestions gratefully received.

A self powered USB hub has helped many. Doesn't cost much but can make a huge difference.

CH Manager is hit or miss with Windows 10. You are much better off using the AH software to map your controls than you are to use CH Manager.

If you have an older MB you may find that a powered USB will fix it. I have run Windows 10 Pro for a long time and do not have any issues with my CH gear (fighter stick, pro throttle, pro pedals). I also run the CH Manager.

Guys

Big thanks for the replies… I'll try the powered hub.

As per CH Products, Control Manager isn't compatible with Windows 10.  It will be ahit or miss type of thing.

I do this, easy & simple.

You have told me this when I had some issues after reloading and I had read the same all over the internet.

I finally got it back up again on the new drive and it works fine. Odd how that is. Of course there are a lot of different hardware combos.

Someone explained it off as a USB identifier list that exceeds the original CH Managers ability to read, somehow. I ran into an issue where my CH Throttle would not allow me to calibrate full throw in DCS, but in AH the stick mapping routines work just fine. CH Manager would not work right, and I didn't want to screw up my AH settings, so I just broke out DIView. This fixed DCS and all I had to do then was recalibrate in AH.
