CH Products Yoke and Pedals FS 2004

[Guest byoung]

Now that FS 2004 is out, I really want to spend some time tweaking my yoke and pedals so they respond properly.Prior to installing FS 2004, I formatted my hard drive and reloaded XP Pro and FS 2004, and of course the Video Drivers.I am using the native CH drivers in XP. What I would like to do is start with the Beech King Air, get it dialed in and then move on to other aircraft. I still have a lot of slop in the controls. Can someone post their sensitivity settings for the Beech King Air using the USB CH Yoke and Pedals?The first question is:Use Control Manager?? My understanding is, if you don't need to program the buttons, you don't need it. It creates virtual devices, is there any advantage to doing this? Would like to hear some feedback on this.I have only been marginally happy with the way the CH Products USB Yoke and Pedals respond. I really want to spend some time and get this refined as much as possible. Here is my system. I do not have the VIA chipset. Motherboard Intel D845.Processor : P4 2.5 GHZMemory: 768 MBVideo GEF 4 TI 4200 w/ 128MB60 GB Hard Drive Thanks!Barry

I highly recommend you download the latest CH Control Manager software and use it to calibrate your equipment. That was the only way I was able to get them to work well in FS9.After calibration, I went into the sim and reset all controller defaults. I then had to reassign the propeller and mixture controls, but once that was done it all worked perfectly.KP
