hey guys.after one year i decided to make a clean installation of windows on my rig, because it was full of useless trash.after i did, i installed steam and clod. then i plugged in my fighterstick, calibrated it via windows 7 and played cod before i installed the ch control manager software.i surprisingly realised, that the stick was way more sensitive near the center....everybody who has a fighterstick, propably knows that there is a really small space in the center, where you can move the stick without feeling the counter force of the springs.even those small inputs were suddenly recognized by the game.after testing a bit further i came to the conlusion, that it was much easier to aim precisely and doing really small corrections of my aim, and i also noticed a difference while i made a couple of landings.i could control the flare before touchdown much more smooth....and i mean really smooth.
then i installed ch control manager again and loaded my map,calibrated the stick and went back into game.well the stick was still precise, but not as much as with the windows calibration. so i quit the game, and set the stick to direct mode.i suspected that when i use it in direct mode, that the sensitivty should be as precise as with the windows calibration, cause in the ch control manager software, when one calibrates the stick in direct mode, the software recognizes even the smallest input and shows them in the raw data.but it wasnt.as soon as i calibrate the stick with ch software, the stick gets a small, but still noticeable deadzone near the center in the game.thats annoying now that i know the difference, because i have to make a decision...either i use my really handy map with all the possible controls on the stick with its 3modes and leave the deadzone as it is, or i use windows calibration,have a really sensitive stick but loose my map.for now i uninstalled ch software and calibrated the stick with windows, and set a couple of controls to my keyboard, cause i really love the "new" accuracy of the stick. however, what i actually would like to know is, if that is a problem connected to ch products and its software, or maybe cliffs of dover and the way it recognizes the stick. i wanted to ask this on ch-hangar, but the site seems to be down at the moment. everyone who has a ch stick could try this, cause i would be really interested if someone else recognizes this difference.it takes only a couple of minutes to uninstall ch software, and in case you dont like the difference, or insist on your map, to reinstall it again.but before you delete it, safe your maps! i really would like to know your results. |

I have the full CH kit, including the Throttle Quadrant. Never used the CH software as I have always found it very counter-intuitive, at best.
With all the CH gear, and controls set up in game I don't know why you would have to run the CH program. Just my opinion of course. As to the G940, well when it gets as old as my Ch stick and throttle, and still works properly, let me know.

I don't use the CH software either, and feel the same way as ElAurens about it.

the reason i used it until now, was that on the ch hangar site everybody was recommending it, and claimed that its almost necessary to calibrate the stick with the software to get a decent behaviour...besides i wanted to use all the 3modes of the stick, cause up until now, i dont have rudder pedals and no throttle as well, but only the stick. but its interesting that you guys dont use it at all..do you have it even installed, or did you calibrate the stick with windows?? Edit:well cheesehawk, besides this little issue, im really statisfied with the stick.it works really well,is really precise and most important it seems undestroyable.btw, doesnt have the g940 a bug? |

When I first got my fighterstick and pedals, I did install the CH manager, for il2 '46. In the end I found I just did not need it, and forever editing and downloading maps was annoying, and just an extra complication for a prop sim. I personally found it more trouble than it was worth.
I have never used the CM for CoD, and have no problems. |

My CH pedals are a few years old now, and work as good as the day I bought them. Some people find them to close together, but I get on fine with them. Saying that, a lot of people seem to like the Saitek pedals so you might want to look at them.
