Uses all the default keys programmed into the CH devices. No need to make any adjustments in game.

 

Profile made for CH Fighterstick, Pro Throttle and Pro Pedals

 

Includes Ghost’s CMS file

 

 

Assign all your joystick axes in game, including the ministick to control sensors axis x and y.

The ministick is setup to to work like a joystick as well as send keypresses near the end of travel. This way you can axis tune for fine control and when the stick reaches end of travel, max slew rate is obtained. Set your axis tune settings to the follwing in game:

 

Select Axis Commands

Absolute SHKVAL Horizontal Slew set as JOY X of throttle (minstick)

Absolute SHKVAL Vertical Slew set as JOY Y of throttle(minstick)

Highlight JOY X

Click AXIS TUNE and set as follows:

Deadzone - 2

Saturation X - 100

Saturation Y - 21

User Curve select and set values as:

0, 10, 20, 20, 20, 23, 23, 27, 30, 50, 100

Do the same for JOY Y

 

Assign the TrackIR functions by mapping them in the TrackIR software and pressing the corresponding joystick hat button when prompted.

 

Additional Notes:

In CH Manager program ensure "Mapped Mode" is active. You can have your CH devices start in mapped mode every time you start Windows if you make a shortcut to "CMstart" in your Startup folder in your Start menu. The CMstart program can be found in your CH Manager folder.

 

Data Management Switch and Target Management Switch shared to free up a hat for view zoom and Track IR.

Here is my Blackshark Profile. Tried to make it as close as possible to the actual functions shown in the DCS manual for the real collective and cyclic with a little extra.

Hi Crunch.

 

I'm buying a used CH set today and want to know what you do about PAC controls while using the GAU-8. I don't think the trigger is a 2 stage like the X52 so how do you use PAC? Are you happy with your CH setup?

[104th_Crunch]

Hi Nate,

Yes, unfortunately there is no dual stage trigger on the CH stick. I use the pinky button on the throttle as a shift function with the trigger. Shifted is PAC and non shifted is the cannon. This means though you have to release shift+trigger then press trigger again. I am going to update the profile so instead you will hold down shift + trigger for PAC then release shift and continue to hold down trigger for cannon.

 

You can't go wrong the CH gear. High quality, durable and great programming capability.

I use the pinky switch on the stick to engage the first stage PAC as well. Works just fine. It's also pretty easy to use that pinky switch to stabilize for your rocket attacks as well.. :)

hold p hold SPC

 

This is the script I use for the trigger, it will engage pac 1 and pac 2 on a single press making those perfect shots. :)

It is not required to hold stage 1 and stage 2 trigger at the same time.. If you have the switch set to ARM then PAC is active when you press stage 2 trigger alone along with the cannon at the same time. The point is to have stage 1 trigger with PAC and without cannon. This allows you to engage PAC and stabilize before you are within firing range to line up your shot.

 

edit: btw I changed my own profile (not uploaded) to use directx keys instead of keypresses for the trigger. This way you can hold down shift + trigger for first stage then release shift while still holding the trigger and the gun will fire. Using keypresses means you have to let go of the trigger and the shift button before pressing the trigger again for the second stage.

But my way does not require any shift key switching. Any time I shoot the guns I want the stablilizer on. I'll give that directx way a try and see what it's like.

Thanks.

 

 

=My understanding on the real stick is that a half pull on the trigger engages stage 1 and stablilizes the jet, and then pull full to fire gun but stage 1 is still active stabilizing. I could be all wrong about that. Until I used this method with both pacs on I have not been able to have a steady jet.

That what I am saying. If you have the switch on ARM, anytime you shoot the gun you will have PAC stabilizer on! You don't need shift or 2 keys at the same time for this. Just hit space. Sometimes though you want PAC without the gun to line up before you open fire.

But this does not work for me. Gun is not stable by just PAC-2.

I have PAC-1 on the shifted part if needed.

[104th_Crunch]

Ah, I see now what you were talking about. PAC has been fixed in the beta 2 update.

Crunch,

 

When I change the Axis tuning to your values, the mini-stick no longer works, but when I just map the stick and leave the defaults it works fine. What am I missing?

 

Thanks

[104th_Crunch]

Hi Skoiboy,

 

If you are happy with the defaults settings, then I wouldn't worry about it.

 

My setting in the sim were just for Ka-50:1 as it was hard to get a good feel with it. A-10C works great, and I have yet to test Ka-50:2.

[skoiboy]

Ok thanks - guess I should have checked the year of the previous post:). If you get a chance to try BS2, I'd be curious to hear if this is just a different set up or if I'm just doing something wrong. I don't like the way it feels right now in BS2.

[104th_Crunch]

Will do. I know for A-10C they tweaked the axis assigment for the MFD slew as the beta progressed.

 

Maybe someone knows if the Shkval slew was tweaked for BS2? I will see how it goes when I get a chance.

[104th_Crunch]

Skoiboy,

It seems that the slewing has changed in BS2. I can't get something comfortable either! I tried removing the keyboard key presses sent by the mini stick and just using it as a normal joystick. I then tried different curves and I could not get anything that would let me slew with a good precision!

 

I spent 30 minutes on it. I will try some more.

 

Don't know what it is. In A-10C slewing works great. In FC2 slewing with the mouse in ultra precise.

 

Can any one form ED comment please? Thanks

[skoiboy]

Thanks for checking this Crunch. Good to know I'm not crazy:).
