CH controllers do not work in FSX

Featured Replies

Hi all, I am running FSX in windows 7 and also have the CH yoke, throttle and rudder pedals. These devices will only work if I unplug and reinstall the USB connectors. If I install control manager, they will work fine, but I would like to run the throttles through FSUIPC and it will conflict with the CH Control manager. any ideas? thanks Doug Morlan

hi, Uninstall the CH software and keep FSUIPC only. Disable all FSX assignements except the POV switch. Then Program your hardware with FSUIPC. That is what I did and no problem
+1! Cheers, - jahman.

Hi Doug,They won't conflict. Install the CM but just leave it in Direct Mode, don't download a map. Only calibrate in the CM GUI. Win7/64 will let you calibrate from within the sim, but it uses Windows calibration and the interferes with the CM operation. The controllers will show up under their own names and work just like they always do, and you can make the assignments in FSUIPC or FS just as you normally would. Just don't ever let it run the Windows calibration routine. That sets registry data the stops the CM from being able to work properly, but so long as you calibrate using the CM GUI there's no problem and no conflict.One other note. The CM doesn't work yet with USB 3.0 ports. You said it works so your apparently not using them anyway, but if you have them on the machine or on some later machine, don't used them. Stick with USB 2.0 ports or USB 1.x ports. USB 3.0 doesn't really help at all with controllers anyway.Hope this helps!Best regards,- BobThe StickWorkshttp://www.stickworks.com

Hi all, I also are having problems with my CH controller. Cant calibrate it at all/ interesting to read the comments regarding this in windows7. As Im not well versed in PC terminoligies or know how to activate some of the processes I would appreciate some help please. desso

1) You have to click the CM icon to get out of mapped mode and into one of the other 2 modes in order to do the calibration.2) Sometimes, especially after not using the controllers a few days, CM will no longer see the controller(s) and cannot calibrate it (them). When that happens I just leave the controller(s) plugged in and click on the CM install executable file to run it. That will patch up (overwrite) the CM installation so that now it can see and calibrate the controller(s).
