Hey guysi sorta lost the instalation cd (i have had the Virtual Pilot pro for a while now) and the problem is that when i have the throttle at idle in FS its not quiet, its just bit more and i cant calibrate it to go to 0% cause my thurst reverse wont work....can anyone please help me?cheersNick

Hi Nick - Have you contacted CH or looked on their site?Andrew

yeh i sent them an error report but nothing else...no other ideas?cheers

Nick,If you have a registered copy of FSUIPC you can calibrate the yoke very accurately.Alternatively, the CH USB Control Manager software can be downloaded from here... www.chproducts.com/retail/tech_support_usb.html or the Gameport (analogue) drivers from here ... www.chproducts.com/retail/tech_support_pc.htmlCheers,

I've had CH stuff for a LONG time, and they've always been really helpful when calling. Mabye try that?Good luck!Andrew

The CH guys are at Oshkosh so Tech Support is a little slow at the moment, but they should be back in the next day or two. If your using the standard Windows drivers for the VPP and it won't go to minimum after calibration, it's probably that your throttle pot is a little bit dirty. Before you start the calibration procedure, run the throttle through it's full range several times to cut a track through the dirt. Leave it about 5% or 10% ahead of the min throttle position. When Windows wants you to "move it through it's range several times", don't. Just move it slowly forward to the full throttle position and leave it there while you finish the calibration.I'm assuming it's the gameport VPPro. The driver are in a file called CHANLG08.EXE on the CH site. If you do have the VPPro USB, then you want the Control Manager itself. There are drivers in CHANLG08.EXE for both Win98 and WinXP, the installation will figure out which you need. They have their own calibration applet if you use those. It still my help to cut the track through the dirt before you calibrate, but the drivers just have you place the throttle at full forward and full back and the spiking that happens in the back-and-forth motion that creates the bad minimum in calibration doesn't occur.Hope this helps.- BobThe StickWorkshttp://www.stickworks.com
