Here's a strange one for ya. I got to jonesin' for the game so I dug my X52 out and yep it's still junk, but for watermelon n grins I hooked the CH stick in, fired up the rig and it's working like a champ right now. I guess the time off did it some good. Either that or the Sioux medicine man I hired fixed it.  :headscratch:

perhaps unplugging it, and maybe turning the PC off and then restarting it at a later time may have reset the USB port / cleared the port from  some issue

did you perhaps do a "hard Boot" on the CH Fighter Stick?  did your controls all stay mapped? or did you have to re set the Stick back p  &/or Recalibrate it?

in any case, I am happy for you ~S~

No, I didn't do anything that I know of, except for let it sit in the closet for a week or so. Everything was still mapped and everything. I did recalibrate it, but i always do that when I log on anyway.

The hard boots were for the legacy analog game port CH programmable sticks to clear out the keyboard buffer because Speedkeys would sometimes jam it.  Since the USB sticks are no longer the keyboard emulators the old CH programmable sticks used to be, there should be no reason for a hard boot and as such, don't think the USB CH sticks have that feature anymore.  At least the prototype USB CH Fighterstick and Combatstick that I still have, you can't do a hard boot on them.

I don't understand what TC meant by "hard booting".

back when CH had gameport CH products ( fighter Stick, Combat Stick, Flight stick, Pro Throttle, etc...) you could hold down (2) buttons during PC boot up and it would reset the programmed settings stored in memory back to a default setting

I just figured it might be worth a shot, since the new ( newer ones ) USB CH sticks also have onboard memory

back when the 1st USB CH Fighter Sticks came out, I was under the impression  ( from some other CH users ) that the new USB models of the Fighter stick did not have the 2 MB memory modules like the older gameport versions had... but now they do have some type of Memory storage built into them...... least according to CH Manager userguide/manual they do.....

hope I explained it ok for ya......
