Goodbye Saitek, Hello CH! But where are the profiles?

[EncryptedToast]

Hi all,

I am replacing my aging and troublesome Saitek X52 with a CH Fighterstick and Pro Throttle. Should be here shortly and I am getting ready for it. Learning Control Manager is going to be a treat I am sure, and I would like to start the same way I did with the SSD software, by loading up a profile and seeing how it ticks!

Problem is, I can’t find any There are several links I have found, all to dead sites. One that turns up often is this one:

http://www.72ndvfw.org/forum/m/5688083/viewthread/8140906-smokeys-hotas-profile

And it looks great, but I cant seem to find anyway to actually obtain it. I don’t even see any profiles here - am I just missing them? Hard Decks X52 profile worked really well for me (when the X52 wasnt crashing or causing me to pull my hair out) and I would love to duplicate that on the Ch.

Any advice appreciated!

Well, why not use the one Kolbe provided in your BMS docs as a foundation?

Id second that. What’s wrong with using a directX profile instead of a CH profile?

For one thing, it tends to make it much easier to use the stick with multiple programs. It also makes it easier to program for BMS.

[Agave_Blue]

DX is good. But my point to the OP was that Kolbe has built, and BMS has included, a CH profile.

But wait, there’s more …

C:\Falcon BMS 4.32\User\Joystick\Generic\Kolbe\Input Devices\CH Fighterstick & Pro Throttle

Kolbe includes instructions on the CH profile as well as the DX profile and a variety of pre-built keyfiles.

Thanks guys, I will take a look when I get home tonight.

This is really good stuff, thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

Does this work in bms 4.33.1? I have a saitek right now, but with the CH fighterstick being more like the real f-16 stick, I was thinking about getting the CH fighterstick, throttle, and pedals one day.

[FastEagle102]

Hey, so I am following along in the “DX CH Fighterstick and Pro Throttle” pdf file, but I don’t really understand what to do when we get to page 6 in the section which says “Define DX button map”.

I open the spreadsheet, enable Macros in Excel 2007, and then I go the proper tab, but now what?

Help a noob out?
