Hardware & Technical CH Fighterstick and Pro Throttle binds/config please

[spacejumbofudge]

Have Elite on pre-order and just got a CH fighterstick and pro throttle. Can anyone please recommend some config/binds for these so I don't have to start from scratch, or does the game support these out of the box?

BTW I'm sure the Premier announced we'd get the single player tutorial stuff from today for people with pre-order? Is that true, I can't find anything on it.

No in-game profile support I'm afraid but profiles and useful scripts are available on the ever-useful ch-hanger.com.

The game supports the devices with no need to run CH Manager. However, if you're planning on using the thumb stick on the throttle to control your vertical & lateral thrust, I'd recommend that you calibrate, tune the curves, and adjust the dead zones to your liking.

I'd also recommend that when you calibrate the z-axis of the throttle, you set your full forward/backward positions to be about 95% of forward/backward. This way, when you push the throttle all the way forward or backwards, you will definitely be setting it to 100% in each direction.

This is how I have my controls mapped. I use head tracking tech and yes, I know I have redundant distributor settings - that's intentional.

Really? Interesting. I can't say I ever noticed any throttle dead zones at the extremes. I'll need to dig it out and check now :-/

The potentiometers in the CH Pro Throttle are very good and it is unlikely that there hardware will not register a DX input of 0 or 255. However, it's easy to make sure that never happens by calibrating it how I described. It doesn't affect granularity as you still have DX input values from 0 to 255, it's just slightly compressed.

Ah yeah, I see what you mean. No it's not hardware. Or not Pro Throttle hardware anyway. It's an old CH chestnut with the throttle. Out of the box it won't register a full 0-255 range. That's perfectly normal in the majority of cases. Calibration 'sorts' it out.

Thanks for the replies. I did find the throttle needed calibrating, but I might also compress the range to make sure I can apply full power.

The diagram above is very useful, thanks.

I also found this site on github providing a map and binds (not allowed to link unfortunately).

I've got the EDtracker on the way too, so hopefully that should provide good headtracking. Now just need to find some time...

The EDTracker's fun. Those guys have really achieved something there. But...I've got to say that TrackIR is brilliant and a league apart (obviously), and now ships with a strengthened clip if you buy via their official UK/US stockists. Highly recommended.
