Difting problem with CH Yoke & Pedals

Featured Replies

I've been having a problem recently with my CH Products Yoke & Pedals. It started a week or so ago when the yoke starting drifting to the left, even though it was recieving no input from myself.If I left it alone, and watched the input in the CH control manager or in FSUIPC, it would randomly start to drift to the left.This problem seems to have stopped now, but it's started with the pedals. Again, leaving them alone, you can see the rudder drifting to the left, causing inputs to become very sluggish just like the problem I had with the yoke.I find it quite bizarre that I've got exactly the same problem with each bit of kit, yet at separate times.The pedals are always connected to the same USB port, but the yoke is constantly plugged and unplugged into different USB ports.I'm quite lost as to the problem. Any ideas??

First, each USB port provides a unique address for the device plugged into it, so you should NOT plug the yoke randomly, or else you are foricing FS to recognise a new device every time. This may be your problem, as you may have created a number of different yoke profiles in the FS9.cfg, and of course the settings don't transfer from one to the other, so affecting the calibration.To be honest, with the confusion likely to have been created I would say its almost impossible to identify which is which, or which is correct, so I'd dump the lot. First backup the FS9.cfg, then delete ALL the controller profiles - including the pedals, and then reboot the sim, get it to re-recognise the devices, calibrate from within FS and then see if the problem has gone away. It might be a calibration issue, but as you say it seems a bit strahge that it moved from one device to the other!Allcott

Thanks for the info. I'll give that a try.Just checked the pedals again in CH control manager, and they seem to be fine now that the yoke is unplugged. Could it be a conflict when they're both plugged in?

Shouldn't be, they work together just fine.>Thanks for the info. I'll give that a try.>>Just checked the pedals again in CH control manager, and they>seem to be fine now that the yoke is unplugged. Could it be a>conflict when they're both plugged in?

It MIGHT be - make sure you scroll the assignment window right down and check that the CH pedals haven't been assigned something strange like an aileron axis or something. Same for the Yoke - there are some pretty odd assignments by default for the Yoke!Allcott
