Hi!

First, I am not sure this is the right forum to post this.. but as it has a connection with my proile using the CMS i post it here.

I use FS2004 a lot, and yesterday we tried a new setup. I had 5 CH units connected (2xUSB yoke, 2xUSB Pro pedals and one throttle quadrant). I did set this up so i used some buttons on the quadrant to switch between the two sets of yokes and pedals.

But, when I downloaded the profile, and set the CH manager to mapped mode I got trouble with the FPS in FS2004,... Normally I have 3 units conected, using CMS scripted profiles, and the FP is always up to my locked level (38).. but with 5 units conected it did never exceed 15 FPS..

So i tried several setups, connecting the CH devices to diffeent USB ports, used a USB hub etcetc.. problem was there regardless of how i connected the devices.. Then i tried to set the devices to Direct mode, and problem was gone..

Is there an issue with using more that 3 controllers in mapped mode ?.

Hi Freddy,

>> Is there an issue with using more that 3 controllers in mapped mode ? <<

No, none that I'm aware of. It could be that your map is sending commands too frequently, maybe even continuously, and that the time it takes FS to respond to those causes that to drop the FR, but just going to Mapped Mode shouldn't really change what's going on much at all.

Best regards,
