Hello,
I'm a long time CH Products customer. I own two sets of gameport F-16 Fightersticks and pro Throttles. I also just purchased a new setup with the Fighterstick and Pro Throttle USB. Well I'm having a problem calibrating my stick in Aces High (online flight-sim). I'm using a HP PC running Windows XP with a p4 3.0Ghz, 1GB pc 2700 and G-Force 5200 128mb vid card. Both Throttle and Stick calibrate fine in windows. When I go to setup in Aces High, my throttle seems to calibrate fine but my stick range of motion is totally non functional. Also I notice a lot of spiking in Aces High but none in windows. Can you help?

When you go into the joystick properties in Aces High there are two windows bottom left of the properties window showing the joystick responses, are you seeing any movement in those windows? Try re-calibrating and then checking the deadband and damper settings, the sliders should be very near the bottom.

Hey 40 !!!

Do you have your controls set to "Mapped Mode" when in CM. When you set the controls to "Mapped Mode" they are combined, in Windows, to 1 controller.

If you select "Direct Mode" and then go to Windows Control Panel and then look at your gaming devices you should see a controller for each CH product you have installed. Mine shows 3 devices ... Throttle, Stick, and Pedals. After I switch to "Mapped Mode" and go back and look at the game controllers panel ... it only shows one controller.

I don't believe that Aces High will work correctly if you are not in "Mapped Mode".

Actually I think Aces High does support multiple joystick controllers but Revvin would know better than I. I really can't get into the Pay-to-Play games. :(

Yes Aces High supports multiple controllers, my profile for AH has each controller separate. If the game I want to play supports multiple controller input I prefer to have each device separate.
