jimh Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "CH USB Yoke and Pro Throttle - Help..." 03-21-03, 14:38z  Hi All (especially Bob and Ray), I've just put together a new computer setup, with a clean copy of Fs2002. My trusty old CH Pro Throttle refused to talk to the new system, so I'm the proud owner of a brand new USB yoke, and USB Throttle. Both are working in Fs2002, in as much as they control the aircraft efficiently, after calibration in Fsuipc. The problem arises when I try to use Control Manager to map controls to buttons. I've tried my best to understand, by reading the CM user guide, and have installed Bob's CM Utility, (brilliant little program, so easy to use), read it's guide, and tried to follow the instructions. I must be doing something stupid, as in Fs2002 I'm getting both the new control and the original at the same time. E.g. I can extend the flaps, at the same time as cycling thro' the outside views. I don't fully understand the use of the toolbar buttons:- When do you use the enable mapping button? Am I right in assuming the "Activate Current Map" button downloads the map/instructions to the yoke? If I describe what I've done, maybe someone will be able to see where I am going wrong. 1 Add Yoke, followed by Pro Throttle. 2 Pressed "Enable Mapping". 3 Map X and Y axes for Yoke, using CMFS. 4 Map Z axis for Pro Throttle. 5 Map buttons on Yoke for basic functions. (gear toggle, flaps up/down, brakes, spoilers) I did map buttons 8 and 9 to VIEW_UP and VIEW_DOWN, but could see no result in Fs2002. 6 Saved the map to disk as First stage.map 7 Pressed "Activate Current Map". 8 Pressed "Convert", in CFMS. 9 Browsed to D:\Fs2002\device.cfg 10 Started Fs2002, with above results. Am I right in assuming that, after acrivating the current map, Control Manager can be shut down, and is not needed again before a change of map is required? I'm sorry to have you read all this, but I couldn't make the picture clear in fewer words. Yours hopefully, Jim H. Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
