help out a newbie :)

[Flyboy]

i have a Ch set (P throttle fighter stick and pedals) for ore then 3 years now i dont remember even when i got them :)
up untill a month ago i had no problem with them since i was using windows 98, but when the time came to buy a new computer i decided to move up to XP (didnt know that it doesnt suport gameport then, damn :censored: :censored: donkey :censored: :censored: mother :censored: microsoft )

anyway thanks to revvin i got blazer's boot disk and i even figured out how to use it. (really exelent work blazer, i < :salute: > you)

i have a few questions.

- is there a way to make a profile in windows and then go to dos and download it in to the joystick?

- when programing the keys, theres a button called "keyboard" i understand i need to use it if i wish to program "enter" or "shift" keys for example. well the button doesnt work for me, any ideas why and how to fix it?

- when programing the joystick\throttle i need to choose one at a time what button to program, how do i know which button is which (for example which button on the throttle is "throttle button 1" )

and lastly
i have a profile currently on the joystick\throttle that i would like to keep, is there a way to "upload" the profile in to the computer or do i have to re write it?


thats it for now, but more questions will probably pop up later.


again blazerbruce really awesome job, made me a very happy man :D

Flyboy,

"- is there a way to make a profile in windows and then go to dos and download it in to the joystick?"

Unfortunitly at this time, there is no possible way of doing this. The profiles are not text based :(

"- when programing the keys, theres a button called "keyboard" i understand i need to use it if i wish to program "enter" or "shift" keys for example. well the button doesnt work for me, any ideas why and how to fix it?"

Sorry cant remember off the top of my head, I have since converted to USB but continue to work on the project ;) I would read the documentation included with the Programming software. There is an extensive readme with examples.

"i have a profile currently on the joystick\throttle that i would like to keep, is there a way to "upload" the profile in to the computer or do i have to re write it?"

I will have to get back to you on this one, College is making my mind go blank at the moment :wacko:

If you want some premade profiles, CH products offers a few on their server. These can be usefull for quick self teaching of the different key setups.

Profiles for DOS (ftp://ftp.chproducts.com/pub/Key%20Sets/)

Oh yea, I almost forgot..... :censored: Microsoft too :lol:

thnks for the help.

what are FSW and FSC files?

allso is there a sketch or a drawing for the throttle and joystick with the name of each button?
its hard to assign a specific button a function if you dont know which button he is

Flyboy,

In class at the moment, I will post all your info, and files for the diagrams when I get back. I dont have access to the public server at CH from my current location (school permissions :angry: )

Flyboy,

I know this is an old thread but I just went through this myself. The easy answer I think is that you need to add a generic mouse driver to your floppy. I think you can find a downloadable mouse zip on this thread (http://www.ch-hangar.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=824).

Then copy mouse.com to the floppy and edit your autoexec.bat. Put in the word mouse somewhere in the first several lines. I put mine before the CLS statement.

The end result after booting from floppy and entering CHSETUP is that you'll get mouse control. You can then enter buttons mode, tab or mouse click to where you would input your key. That box will be active and then you can click on keyboard. NOW your keyboard screen should pop up. And from there you can click on the special keys like Ctl, Alt, F-keys, Num Keypad keys, etc.

For me it was all about getting the mouse to work.
Hope this helps.
