timmer1978 Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Hello Everyone, I'm a new guy around here, and have little experience with flight sims. That said, I kinda dove right in with DCS when I saw it on steam and purchased the CH Fighterstick USB. My problem is with the CH Control manager software. I can't seem to map certain commands to the joystick, namely the target designator down,left,right,up TO the Hat 2 switch. I'm also having difficulty mapping weapons fire to the button 1, the trigger. It's weird because I've managed to map plenty of autopilot modes and other functions to the hat switches, but no matter what I do it won't let me map these commands to the joystick. Could anyone suggest what I might be missing here? Thank you! P.S. I attached my .map / .cms files so you can see my mappings, hopefully that helps. - TimDCS CH Fighterstick Files.rar
531-Ghost Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 THIS may help. Are you using a Command File? 1 :joystick:
timmer1978 Posted September 21, 2013 Author Posted September 21, 2013 I wasn't, but I am using a command file now. That wasn't the problem. It took me a few hours (probably more) of tinkering with CH manager, but I finally figured it out. I didn't know CH control manager has a mouse option under DX Device that you can map to the x[a1] and y[a2] axis on the ProThrottle. You just have to make sure you have DX Mode checked. Once I got x & y axis' for the thumb slew mapped to the mouse, I went into the controls menu in DCS and selected axis assign. After changing I-25l slew horizontal and I-25l slew vertical to mouse x and mouse y, I was golden! :pilotfly: I did have to set the deadzone on both mouse x,y axis in CH control manager to about 10 to stop the cursor from moving on it's own, but I'm good now. Hopefully someone might find this useful if they are having similar issues to mine. - Tim
