I've been running my old analog CH stuff in WINXp for over a year...works fine. Only problem is if I want to change the programing on the throttle or stick....programs don't work in XP, so I just re assign stuff in the game.... and much cheaper too

To be fair, I think what Schaden means is that when you input a pedal, the body of the aircraft actually slides to the opposite of the pedal, causing the nose to yaw in the same direction as the pedal.

So, left pedal will cause the tail to swing to the right, and the nose to swing to the left.

Semantics.

I find it easier though to explain it as yaw in the direction of the pedal. Less confusing.

Cheers, and hope Santa was good to you all

what he said....I used mine so long I couldn't remember it just sort of happens.....

hmm, i also got a joystick for christmas, and im not to sure why everyone keeps saying using a mouse is harder...with the mouse i get the following benefits

1. veiw system is much easier to use
2. rudder(s) stay where you put them, rather than swinging back to 0
3. slightly more comfortable, and no threat of breakdown, or if it does die its only 5 bucks for a replacement...

aiming seems easier with the stick though...

If you need any help try posting here. It's a community site I run for CH users where you'll also find profiles for many of the popular games and sims around including Aces High. I created some profiles a while back that may help you get up and running quickly here. The profile uses a .cmc file which includes all the commands for a given game so that when you come to map them out on the buttons they are just a click away so you don't have to remember the actual keypress required. It makes it easier to take an existing profile and modify it.

Merry Christmas all

Revvin's site is a goldmine if you own CH gear. Many experts that will bend over backwards to help solve any problem be it hardware, software, or programming.

When I did read this post last week I was smiling thinking how it will be easy to get a kill on Thrila

But it appear Santa was late ...
I'm fighting with/against the very same setup now
