Sorry for the noise, just starting out, trawled the interwebs without success. Can someone please direct to youtube demo, or advise within CH Control Manager on setting up CH fighterstick and Ch Pro throttle (WITHOUT pedals)? All demo's use pedals. Problems: 1. Can't get Pro Throttle slider to act as throttle. Always reads as an axis (roll) and ship spins. Have setup both devices to be read as single widows 'joystick 1'. 2. Have set the throttle 'POV HAT' as 'CM device 2', disabled DX mode and entered keyboards keys for straffing, but not being read. Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, Some of you may have seen my 'Star Citizen CH HOTAS' tutorials. I did the last one about a year ago for AC 1.1, well before 2.0 released, so it's quite out of date. I've had some requests to do an updated one. Thought before I started working on it I'd see if there was anything you guys wanted to see in it. Things I want to cover: Setting up a full CH HOTAS for Star Citizen. Using the CH Control Manager in a combination of DX and Mapped mode to assign commands. Primarily using the CM to assign commands -I do very little within Star Citizen itself. Setting up using translation on the ministick -or- roll for those that don't have pedals (might look at doing a mode swap as well, so you can have both on the ministick). Currently looking into using the ministick for WSAD movement in FPS so you can use your throttle and a mouse and get rid of the keyboard. This will involve programming two separate modes for the HOTAS -a Flight Mode and an FPS mode. If anyone has any suggestions for things they want to see let me know.

Why I made this thread: I recently purchased CH Products Pro Throttle and CH Products Combatstick and am using it as a standard HOTAS setup. It was a steep learning curve and it took me about a week or two of talking to other CH users and a fair amount of Google-fu to get it just how I like it. That's enthusiast gear for ya. It's got an overwhelming degree of customization. It drops you into the ocean and you either sink or swim. I'd like to help other CH users finish their setups quicker than I did, so here we are. Okay, now that that is out of the way, let's get down to business. This thread IS about: Assisting new CH Products owners with configuration General Discussion of CH Products hardware Sharing tips, tricks and config files with other CH users Hardware modding Sales/Deals on CH Products This thread is NOT about: Bashing any other company or vendor Sharing reasons for why you switched to CH from another company or vice versa Discussing the merits of twist sticks vs pedals Of course, I'm happy to bitch and argue with you on this subject on TS anytime, as per usual.

"Hinge" design for joystick, makes space flight feel more intuitive (assuming you put spin on your stick) Cons: No LEDs, no flashy stuff Some people don't like that it's made of plastic Each device requires a dedicated USB port Steep learning curve for CH Manager (remedied, hopefully by my OP) Only the Pro Throttle and Flightstick are heavily community-supported (also hopefully remedied by this thread) Joystick design takes a bit of getting used to for some people. Similar to TM Warthog, you will need pedals to get optimal control (stick has no twist). Fortunately, there is also an analog stick on the throttle that you can use if you don't have pedals. CH Control Manager doesn't look pretty
