Ch program manager help

[rwy12]

Hi

I recently bought the ch fighterstick with intension multi mapping the buttons...as advertised. 

Sadly it's become a nightmare.  I cannot find any clear instructions on YouTube etc.

Do we have anybody on the group who understands how to create different profiles and how to create actions for 1 button to do more than 1 actions.

Can you please point me to any videos. Etc. Or where I can download some clear instructions on how to do the mapping.

Many thank

Kes

RWY12,

  I Assume that you have and are using the CH Manager program.  if not you can download ver 4.55a (last and latest) here https://chproducts.com/13-29170-Downloads-and-Community.php.html

The Ch Manager has a very extensive help manual which explains a lot of the functions and scripting that you can do.  ( see ch Manager image for help icon, took me 6 month to see that it was a help manual (needed glasses))

This youtube vid may answer your questions also does a good job explaining what you can do with the CH Manger for the Ch Products (Joystick, Pedals, etc.)  also creates a Map for Elite Dangerous.

Here is a CH MANAGER FOR DUMMIES PDF,  goes over installing the CH Manager and creating and loading Maps.  ( somethings not covered in above youtube vid)

In the meantime:  I going to assume you new to CH manager, so I sorry if you already know some of this or I miss the point of the questions your asking.

 --

as to " create actions for 1 button to do more than 1 actions."  I assume you want to a single button to do something like Launch flare and chaff,

      that is done adding a +  (ex:  F + C )  If F is flare and C is Chaff (see example in Hat 2)   or can be done thru CMS scripting ( sample in help manual ) or in cmc command file, create a command and the keys you want to assign to it in the CMC File -  then right click (ex: in the hat 2 left [b11] ) the "Press" or "release" Box of the button you want to insert command into, in this example  you'll be replacing   F + C  for the command  Flareandchaff

Sample of commands in CMC file

// CMC Command File
// good commands  

Flareandchaff f + c  

reload r

weapon1 1

// bad command

duck and cover d

note: (when typing in the CMC window --the  command will be in blue and the assigned keys in red)  if you type the command as Flare and Chaff (with spaces) then the AND CHAFF f + c will be considered key strokes and will act weird or wont compile when downloading the code.  

--

As to  "create different profiles"  Are you asking about how to have one button do different things,  like, if in a plane Button1 launches rockets but in a car Button1 creates a smoke screen , then you need to look at setting MODES scripting

but if you mean having a map for 7days2die and one for Elite Dangerous , then you need to create one map for each game.

-- 

To auto load the map and launch a game, create a batch job, something like the following:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\CH Products\CHCtlMgr.exe" "C:\CH Control Manager\Maps\fallout3.map"

"C:\Steam_EA_Games\fallout3\FalloutLauncher.exe"

 

line one - tells CH Manger to load the map for Fallout3 ( unloading any previous map that was loaded ) 

 

 Hope this Helps.
