CH Products Discussion / Configuration Help

[thekalman]

Have to agree with Pasta on this one.. outside of a couple of very specific circumstances, the difference in 8-bit precision vs. 12, 24, 32, etc. is largely academic, especially once control curves enter the mix.

I'll echo how awesome the CH line is.  I have the throttle and Fighterstick and I use the MFG Crosswind rudder pedals.  That said...

I can't seem to get Alpha 2.0 to recognize my CH stick or throttle.  Are you running in direct or mapped mode?  Did you add your own CH control scheme to the available mapping under ...\StarCitizen\Public\USER\Controls\Mappings?  Kind of bummed as I recall my setup working great though I haven't used AC 1.x in a few months.

I had less trouble getting HOTAS support running on GTAV than on SC 2.0. CIG needs to get their input support shit together. Their prebuilt Saitek profiles aren't even that good and have to be remapped. Something has to change soon.

Well, I eventually got all 3 components to work in SC, now I just need to build the command list and assign them to the controls, etc.  Happy to say that I even got the throttle analog thumbstick to operate my strafing thrusters.

I use mapped mode for the most part and combine all devices into a single logical device (though I re-assign the axis so it actually becomes two logical devices). I've never actually had issues getting SC to recognize my CH gear.. all the way back to when we had to XML hack to get joysticks to work.

Thanks...I got it worked out after a bit.  Not sure why it was giving me issues, but I was able to get mapped mode working again and I'm assigning my commands now.  So excited lol

I don't have trouble getting SC to recognize my CH HOTAS, SC just gives me a lot of trouble when trying to do a custom function assignment.

Have you tried voice attack or direct xml edits?

Agreed. This is why I do as much as possible through the CM and change exactly 3 things in SC:

• Coupled and Decoupled horizontal translation
• Coupled and Decoupled vertical translation
• Toggle decoupled.

That's it. 

Binding customization is something SC could really learn from Elite. The amount of cool shit you can set up just in the game alone is awesome.

What SC does right on control customization:

• Tabs

What Elite does right on control customization:

• Everything but tabs
