CH Products Pro Throttle USB

Archived from groups: alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim (More info?)

Hi All,

I'm finally just starting to tackle getting used to my CH Pro Throttle,
Pedals, and Fighterstick.

Strewth, more dials, buttons, knobs, hat switches than you can poke a
stick at!

What on earth does everyone use the mini joystick for, on the throttle??

My 'Sim flying is ~ 90% FS9, ~ 5% CFS2 and 3, and ~ 5% IL2 Forgotten
Battles, and so far, I've decided just to program all the assignments (to
the way I fly) in each of the 'Sims.

Is there any advantage to creating Maps, using CH Control Manager?

Regards,
John Ward

Hi Marcel,

"You Spitfire pilots are all alike! Always gotta have something in their
hands to play with while they're flying! :-))"

LOL.

Actually not true - I cheated, and added a basic Autopilot. I just tell
it to fly the plane there, at that height and speed.

That leaves me free to look out the window, serve drinks to the
passengers, read Goethe, etc. :-))

Can't see the point of all this other fancy stuff! :-))

Regards,
John Ward
