Hardware & Technical CH Pro Throttle

[NeilF]

Just a question regarding calibration. I have the Fighterstick and Pro Throttle and have used CH gear for many years in flight sims. Long before it had a USB interface and you had to use the gameport. However I have never had to use the CH software and only ever used whatever is in game to map things out. The idea of curves and better calibration sounds like it may be an idea to try the CH software though. Does the CH calibration software replace/popup in place of the standard Windows joystick calibration window or is that there too.

Are calibration values stored in NV ram in the throttle/stick? Also are any compiled map files uploaded. I must admit, I thought these would either be translated from key presses in the computer with constantly running routines as most controller software does or at best upload from a resident driver every time and be lost at power off.

Not entirely sure. If you install their application then I believe you have to run it to calibrate - I think the windows screen tells you this.

If you don't install their software wouldn't be surprised if you can then do it in Windows?


As for the advanced calibration like response curves, deadzones and mappings, I suspect that's all flashed into unit as I certainly don't run any software when using it...?

I will probably give the CM software a go. Windows has a lot simpler, less feature rich calibration software. I was really trying to find out if it's inhibited and replaced by the CH one if their software has been installed. I know something like this has happened with other controllers.

If everything is flashed into the unit then you should be able to take your controller setup to another PC thats isnt running the CH software and the controllers will still have the configuration calibration in them along with any map thats uploaded.

That I don't know. I don't know if it's putting the config on the throttle, or onto the PC for drivers to adhere to.
