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.

ah ok...so you guys have never used the ch software??why not?because of the reason i described above?
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.

I have always used CM with my HOTAS, and pedals, apart from in WWII online where I had issues with it. In the last near on 11years that I have been running my CH setup I have never had an issue with regards to centering, spiking, and or any other axis response. Will have a play next time I am in town to see if I notice a difference by not using CM.

i didnt know that i have a problem regarding the centering of the stick until i calibrated via windows....the difference is really small and only in the absolute center of the stick.the small space where the stick is movable without feeling the pressure of the springs.
when i used the ch software for the stick, the animated stick in the game would not move when i did such small inputs on the real stick without feeling the spring's pressure.
but now as i calibrated only with windows, and have no ch software on my rig, the game recognizes those really ridiculous small inputs.the stick seems to react on even the smallest movement of my arm, and so does the game now.
when i calibrated the stick with ch control manager and had a map, in the game i had to move the stick until i could feel the pressure of the springs that i could see a movement of the animated stick in the game.
