Good to hear PoleCat! I'm sure those that go the Cougar route, will be glad to hear this! I'm not claiming or bashing anything actually. Just thought J.Q. Public would like to know the current state of affairs is all, not history. Thanks for the update.

Nice work hannibal! Goes well with the rest of your pit!

Nice link there PoleCat. And tell us about the Company Product Support for the Cougar, PoleCat. How does it rate? Not to start a pissin' contest, just thinkin' the buyer would like to know... Anywho, :thumbup:

Absolutely! So, pay no attention to this link :music_whistling:

I've never opened any of my CH Products to lube anything. Never had to replace a POT. I'm not saying that from time to time someone may have to have a POT replaced or something may need to be fixed for whatever reason. When and if they do, CH Products Product Support is second to none. Period. And, as far as them being "toys" let's face it, . . . . . . . . . . . They're all just toys. Cougar too.

The beauty with CH, if you can only afford a stick, get a FighterStick or CombatStick. Then, as you can afford to add to your CH Controllers, you can add a ProThrottle, then ProPedals, MFP... Use Control Manager to map them as a single device for older games or as seperate devices for newer ones. In any event, get what suits you. Me personally, I got tired of throwing good money after bad and went with the full CH Products line up. FS/PT/TQ/PP/MFP/MFP and Eclipse Yoke for all my simming needs.

Okay, fine, when someday comes, you'll know where to go ;)

I've uploaded my overlays here. :music_whistling:

With more to follow! ;)

Very nice! :pilotfly:

No, I have no issues with my CH Products. Control Manager v4.2

No issues with mine. :smilewink:

Yes they are. At least the version I reviewed.

However, I will say this, even on my current (to be upgraded in two weeks) this sim flew very nicely!

HERE :music_whistling:

Yes. I'll load it up at the CH-Hangar later today. I've got one for Game Mode as well as Sim (Real) Mode.

Well, if you are programming CH Products, there are a couple ways to do it. One is assign the axis in the game. Or if you wanted to use the keyboard assigned keys on either of the axis all it would take is a wee li'l script: CMS.B* = [js2.a2 < 70]; // Mini-Joystick Up = KU-31-Shkval-Slew-Up CMS.B* = [js2.a2 > 180]; // Mini-Joystick Dn = KU-31-Shkval-Slew-Down CMS.B* = [js2.a1 < 70]; // Mini-Joystick Aft = KU-31-Shkval-Slew-Left CMS.B* = [js2.a1 > 180]; // Mini-Joystick FWD = KU-31-Shkval-Slew-Right Then, assign: KU-31-Shkval-Slew-Up ; KU-31-Shkval-Slew-Down . KU-31-Shkval-Slew-Left , KU-31-Shkval-Slew-Right / to CMS.B* (you've got 128 CMS buttons to choose from so fill in the * with a CMS button #)

And then there is this trimming method. Much easier if you ask me.

My pleasure.

For those of you following this thread and wondering how to do the same thing, check out this thread at the CH-Hangar.

Seems some of the keys assignments needs a little help along the way for the Command File to work, properly. There is a thread at The CH-Hangar discussing how to get it to work. HERE

Unless you have a cockpit with switches and buttons to program them to. :smilewink:

Okay, here ya go, a .cmc (Command File)

I'm not home, yet. :smilewink: You do know how to save a .txt into a .cmc, don't you? If not, The Dummies Guide will help you out. :joystick:
