531-Ghost Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 GriffonBR: What seems to be the problem? Perhaps we can get you squared away right here... I have plenty of POTs (if needed). :joystick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffonBR Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 Hi, Ghost Well, mate, I need new pots for my CH Flightstick (one for the Y axis and 2 reserves), since CH Products kicked my ass with class, I´cant find the CTS HP100A 100K nowhere. Could you send them to my adress in Brazil? I could pay you with by MONEYGRAM, I think. Thanks in advance, mate.

531-Ghost Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Griffon, before we send things to/from. What are your symptoms? Could be as simple as a connection to the POT. Personally, it could be easily fixed if the connectors were soldered rather than push on connectors. :joystick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
531-Ghost Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Wow. I'm sure glad I only own a CH Throttle Quad (that I almost never use). Who do you think was the one and only hardware beta tester ;) Many, many, many, (did I say many?) lever actuations to the count of 120 per (quick time). Wore out eight of them before we had the right combination POTs and mold as well as spring tension. :joystick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffonBR Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 Griffon, before we send things to/from. What are your symptoms? Could be as simple as a connection to the POT. Personally, it could be easily fixed if the connectors were soldered rather than push on connectors. Ghost, I´ve did these steps. I sent my Fligthstick to my friend, Sokol1, a well know member of the simulation comunity, and he told me that the pot is screwed. So, the only way to get my joystick alive again is changing the damaged pot.

531-Ghost Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Oh I know of Sokol1 at the CH-Hangar. Still, would like to know what your symptoms are? What do your axis do in the Control Manager Calibration screen/s? NOT in Windows Controller options/assignments. Could be nothing more than a re-scan in Control Manager. :joystick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffonBR Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 Well, I think this video will kill all your doubts, Ghost. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bInkCY2M80g&feature=player_embedded And after all the tweaks and things that Sokol1 did, the problem didn't disappear. As you can see, I use the CH Manager for my CH set (I have the Throttle and Pedals, they work fine with just a little jitter), and all the callibration that I have to do I use the CH Manager. My problem is on the pot, there is no doubts. Thanks for the help, mate.

531-Ghost Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Griffon, please don't think I was doubting you. I'm (by trade) an Aircraft Engine Tech Rep (T700-GE-Series Engines). I find that getting all the info and putting it all together (like a puzzle) I can figure out what may (or may not) be going on. However, your original post indicates you are using a Flightstick. The video looks like you are using a FighterStick. That said, it appears as though you are only pulling the stick aft and holding it in place. Are you pulling the stick all the way aft after calibration and applying the calibration settings in CM, and this is the result? Again, I have POTs, PM me your address. :joystick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffonBR Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 No no no, Ghost, sorry for the misunderstood, mate. I say doubts, but what I want to mean is to answer your questions. I´ll PM you!!!
