CH Axis assignment. Help needed.

Salutes to all!

First of all, I am new to the platform and to the DCS world; my previous experience has been related to IL2.

Said so, I must say am having a great deal of problems in order to correctly assigned axis in the controls table, that is:

- Double input to axis, like mouse and stick or interferences between throttle, rudder and stick.

- Difficult to identify axis in the command table. (I fly with CH Hotas + Rudder pedals + Trackir).

I am not saying things do not work, they just do not do it as I expected.:joystick:

Like I said my configuration is CH FSPTPP + TrackIR. CH Control Manager 4.5 and I have removed all previous scripts or

shortcuts applied to other simulators.

Please can any kind soul help me in my first steps in axis assignment?

Maybe the information is there and I do not know where to look at...

Thanking you in advance.

Welcome to DCS!

First you have to select the appropriate mode in the controls screen. I suggest you fly in sim mode, so select p-51 sim.

After that you have to select the axis commands from the pull down menu.

Then you should clear all assignments for the axis on all devices. For that you click on an assignment and then click "clear category" on the top of the screen.

Then you can assign the axis you want by simply double clicking the entry and moving the axis you want to assign. Dont forget to tune the axis afterwards, where you can set curvature, deadzones, etc and maybe invert the axis.

As mentioned above clear all Axis settings before doing anything else.

A couple of pointers...

If you run a combined map in the CH manager, you will see 1 CH device in DCS to assign Axis/Buttons to.

If you keep the controllers separate, the order of the tabs in CH Manager (FS/PT/PP etc.) dictates the order in DCS. So if your FS is the first tab in CH Manager, then it will be CH device 1 in DCS settings.

I always have to invert the Axis for toe brakes in DCS. So make sure your brakes are off when not depressed (Right Control + Enter in game will bring up a window showing your controller positions and current trim settings).

Make sure you have your map loaded before launching DCS. I have had strange results when switching between games (RoF, IL2, DCS) and forgetting to load the correct map first.

Well, thank you very much for the help!!! :thumbup:

Clearing the Axis settings made the trick.

Now everything goes fine.

I can foresee some hours of axis tuning and key assigning...

Two guys that are real CH gurus are the guy named Crunch here and to LockOn is quite the CH programmer into scripts and Shift commands to get more buttons out of the CH Control Manager.

Bob Church is the guy to CH Hanger for help and Revin and a guy named Ghost which I suspect is Crunch.

Konkussion here was very helpful to me with the Warthog, but I have not seen him posting in quite awhile.

I created my own .map based on my Aces High profile for the CH Control Manager for the P-51D out of necessity. I modified it and renamed it specific for DCS World. I am not too fond of Track IR 5, but I allowed for it. If I pause TIR5, I then can use my view hats instead, and if I want, jump back to TIR5. My CH gear is Fighterstick, PT and PP all USB. Konkussion helped me the most with DCS. I use the Black Shark profile by Crunch that works for BS1 and BS2 and he or somebody gave me a mess of tutorials learning about the Control Manager, but I am still a novice at it. If I can do it, anybody can.

I have a CH map adapted from my DCS A-10 profile, which is such a mercy, as most of the generic commands are the same in all DCS sims, such as all the view commands, gear, flaps, etc. It has TIR worked in as well. PM me if you want me to send it to you.

I am using the CH Fighterstick, Pro Throttle, Throttle Quad, and Pro Pedals in a combined map. I showed the same issue on my first start-up of the game. The game will have a bunch of pre-assigned axis listed -even multi-assigned axis to one function on all controllers. Ignore that and manually delete them all. Once you've cleaned out all that, start assigning each axis manually to the function you want them to.

Ghost and I are not the same person. I am more handsome :)

Glad the problem was solved. Head on over to http://www.ch-hangar.com for all things CH. The forums are excellent. Bob Church is brilliant and will help in any way possible.

Crunch, are you or Ken King intending to make a CMC file, or a profile, for DCS P-51?

Hi Bahger, no plans sorry. For one, the real P51 had no hotas, and also I am using my MS Sidewinder FFB2 stick instead of my CH stick.

Maybe someday CH will release a FF stick. I really hope they do.

I've made a .cmc ;)

Thanks, Ghost, much appreciated, as always.

You're welcome. :beer: I'll be uploading the .cmc to the CH Hangar later today...

My Command File can be found HERE

I tried to make a cmc file but it wasn't recognised in CH manager.

I try to make profiles from other profiles but flight simming is for the extreme patient and I aint.

I have read the dummies guide for the Ch hotas and the section on making a cmc file is very vague and I tried what they told me in the pdf but CH Manager does not recognise the file.
