Hello Coleagues!!

I would definitely thanks someone help with this one... Ia am fighting against the awfull behavior of my CH Products (CH FS Yoke + Pedals + Pro Throtle)... Ia have tried everything:

-Axis definitionn and calibrations with FSUIPC4 (including some dll files "deleting experiments" in the midle);
- managing with CH Control Manager (severall installing and unistalling, including older versions of the application)
- Definig butons and axis with FSX

Nothing seems to work... I use to have nice flights with my CH products, but since I installed PMDG 737NGX, it is really a mess... I really think it was since that instalation.

Do you know any issue of incompatbility of CH Prdcts with PMDG's?

Thanks In Advance!! (and sorry my speedy English)!

Luis, I suggest you first back up your FSUIPC4.ini file. Then, delete it and start with a fresh file, and try calibrating just the PMDG 737. Don't use the CH Control Manager at all - delete it from your system - just use FSUIPC for now. I too have had problems with calibrating the 737

Luis, if your controllers have been used for several years the potentiometers in them get dirty and need to be cleaned/replaced. If you are adventurous you can open the cases and get some high quality electronic cleaner (don't use anything with oil in it) and clean them really good. Beware as the pedals have parts that will fly out if you just pop it open so you have to open it really slow.

What I see when mine need cleaning is drifting, slow response, won't center, Etc. in the calibratoin screen. There are some good how to's on the Internet if you search for CH issues and CH also sells replacement potentiometers if they can no longer be cleaned. It's a bear to fly when they are dirty as aircraft control is severly compromised.

Good luck!

Thank you Michael!

What is strange, is that, now the commands are working good with FSX control management... Nothing seems to be wrong with the hardware... But not with fsuipc or CH contl manager.

I really think it is a software issue... Before fealing this problems, I used the fsuipc contr. mnger with no problema.. frown

I'd really prefere using the FSUIPC control management (as I used before)... It be far most powerfull!!

Best Regards!

Dont know how helpful this is bit I have never used the CH Product manager. Just FSUIPC for assignments and calibration with years of excellent performance.

Well, I really don't know what is causing the issue.

Maybe I'll have to make a system reinstall... The truth is that I never did one at this computer...

If there is any other idea, please share it!!

Best Regards!
