WildBillKelsoe Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 CH products is the epitome of accuracy. Period. AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

I'd be in for 1 of them, so 11,999 more. i7-4820k @ 3.7, Windows 7 64-bit, 16GB 1866mhz EVGA GTX 970 2GB, 256GB SSD, 500GB WD, TM Warthog, TM Cougar MFD's, Saitek Combat Pedals, TrackIR 5, G15 keyboard, 55" 4K LED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish some one would make a decent FFB stick for use with BS and ROF. I'd hope CH get decent trade from the civil aviation simmers and don't need to release a combat throttle for reasons already mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Lol that came out wrong, of course it would be great to see a new split throttle with tonnes of rotaries on it for trim, prop-pitch, mixture etc and I think they would make ROI on a product like that, hell I'd pay £300 for that and so would alot of others. What I meant to say is that I hope CH don't drop out of the simware market their gear is bullet proof. P.S is the fraken potato available internationally?

hannibal Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 CH products is the epitome of accuracy. Period. i have the thrustmaster warthog.. but i also own ch products. i have to say, the CH control manager is the BEST software... the target software is not as friendly... find me on steam! username: Hannibal_A101A http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197969447179 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmaruda Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I am a happy owner of CH stuff for something like 2 months now. Switched from an X-52 and while it was initially hard to get used to, I can say this is the best siming hardware on the market. Sure, CH could use some rotaries and a dual stage trigger, but no HOTAS out there is perfect. If they ever release new stuff, I'm all over it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty simple really. One could either PM me here, SimHQ, or the CH-Hangar requesting one, or e mail me at 531ghost (at) gmail.com How's this work? Well: A ProThrottle is sent to me. Your current one or, one you have ordered and sent to me. A money order/check in the amount of $225.00 + shipping (in the US typically $15.00) to cover parts, labor and shipping. Once the above requirements have been met I manufacture the Franken-Potato on a first come first served basis. Edit: for the next version of Control Manager, those of you with a Franken-Potato, may be in for a surprise/treat ;) So, who's next? :smilewink: Edited March 1, 2013 by 531-Ghost :joystick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Hole Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) I have been an owner, cheerleader and promoter of the G940 since its release. Last year the rotaries on my 3rd throttle began to spike. I took it apart and lengthened all twelve wires by soldering on 3 inches of Ethernet wire. This worked for 6 months until the rotary spiking began again. I then decided to try force sensing with the X-65f. Initially I liked it. But after a month I realized that my flying was more accurate but my FIGHTING was awful (talking prop sims here). So back to the G940 for a few more months. I just bought a CH setup because it is cheaper (currently on Amazon) than any other HOTAS setup exept the X-52. If CH offers a split throttle I will buy it for sure UNLESS the stick that comes with it is FFB. FFB was cool, especially in Rise of Flight where I could feel the plane bounce over tufts of grass through the stick. Of course that doesn't happen in reality. Nor does a real stick vibrate during stall. (ok well sometimes they do but far more cues come form overall airframe vibration) Really, the only thing FFB does accurately is mimic the control slop as airflow decreases--which I must admit is quite cool and will be missed. It also readjusts the stick center during helicopter cyclic force trim. But for these gains there is a huge price to be paid in constantly setting up and tweaking values for each plane in each sim. Some people enjoy that sort of thing but I never did. Most sims incorperated FFB in ways that are nifty to the player but quite unrealistic to the pilot. I basically hated FFB in everything but Rise of Flight (where I once did 95% of my flying) and Black Shark. My dream setup would be a normal, accurate stick and a buttkicker that is fully supported by every sim I play. I will not buy FFB again.

Smokin Hole Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Didn't mean to snipe Ghost's good work above. IF... I ever changed my tune about FFB, I'd send my CH to him for certain. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

531-Ghost Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 So you using a 3D printer. Nope. I work with what is sent to me. I've got/made JIGs to make my life a little easier throughout the proscess of making a Franken-Potato. But, it's still all hand crafted. :joystick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
