March 2, 200818 yr I think it is a case of horses for courses. I have used Saitek joysticks in the past and found the programming software useful. However I would often forget what was controling a function.... joystick software or FSUIPC or default FS9 controls.. which recognise the controler as soon as you plug it in.I dont know if the CH software works well or not as I have not used it, I am sure it probably does work very well.I just find it easier to have one thing controlling all the functions...in my case FSUIPC.

March 2, 200818 yr Author >>I dont know if the CH software works well or not as I have not >>used it, I am sure it probably does work very well.Well, now I have experience using all 3 and of the 3 I have found the software made by Saitek and CH Products to ge equally deficient and aggravating, if only because they do add that extra layer of control, which can confuse the system. FSUIPs biggest drawback seems to be in its utter vastness -- it tries to do a lot (and it usually succeeds!) -- if not in it's somewhat confusing or verbose documentation. The customer support persoan is cranky, too! :-hah Smooth Skies! -- Chuck B.

March 2, 200818 yr Author Jeez,Bill. That would be great! Thank you! I'm PMing you with my email address. My set up always gets most confused with all the different axes. Do you have to save, upload and exit each time you change a key command? EDIT: Woops, I guess I'm not PMing you! My email adress is listed. THANKS!:-beerchug Smooth Skies! -- Chuck B.

March 2, 200818 yr Unable to locate your address, but you can pm it too me and I'll send it to you. Also you can download a file called CH start from CH products website. You load it in your windows startup file, that way you do not have to install your changes before starting FS9.Bill M Bill McIntyre Asus StrixB650E-F Gamer, AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D, Corsair Titanium DDR5 64GB, Samsung 990 PRO-4TB M.2, (4) 2TB SSD's, Corsair H1150i liquid cooler, RTX 2080TI Founders Edition, (2) LG 34" HD Curved Monitor, Sound Blaster Audigy X, 1Kw PC Power & Cooling Power Supply, Corsair Obsidian Full tower Case.
