It is supposedly top notch in terms of capability - and also highly complex to master!Ĭranky's settings: Cranky is new to Oolite, and favours the yaw take on astrogation. The CH Control Manager Software only works on Windows computers. There are 3 buttons behind the throttle handle and 5 hat-switches! The rightmost of these on the 'lozenge' on the side of the throttle is actually a mini-joystick which can be pressed and acts as a fourth button. The Pro Throttle has all the controls on the throttle itself - none on the base ( ie you need never take your hand off the throttle). There is a 3rd thumbwheel which can act as a throttle. ![]() There is the trigger, a pinky button (Joy_4) and 4 other buttons (Joy_5 is on the far side of the joystick, reached by the index finger). The CH Combat Stick has a two-axis joystick only (no twist) with fine-tuning thumbwheels which can eliminate drunkenness. It is also light-weight and looks clunky! And big for the hands. Throttle Pro with Combat Stick - the mid-range of CH's 3 joysticksĬH's stuff is rugged and is expected to last for decades. POV switch ( Point Of View switch – same as hat switch) - see buttons.Hat switch (used to be called a coolie hat switch) - see buttons.Hat switch in green at top, Thumbwheel axis in yellow at bottomĪn analogue-style input where your movements select the amount of change (not available for purely keyboard inputs) There are at least 4 types of axis: The usual two axes of a joystick (forwards ↔ backwards & left ↔ right) - x & y above right Some joysticks have twist as well (clockwise ↔ anti-clockwise) - z above right A thumbwheel - 6 above left (often used for speed in the absence of a separate throttle unit) A mini-joystick - not shown above - can look identical to the hat switch, but with very different operation - will add two more x & y axesĪ more digital On/Off input: Either (i) press once (F2 rear view), (ii) keep pressed (Fire laser) There are at least 6 types of button: A button that looks like a button! - 4 above left A switch (operates like 2 buttons) - 7 above left A trigger (operates like a button) - 3 above left A hat switch (operates like 4 buttons) - 6 above left A button incorporated into a mini-joystick - not shown here - but see the CH Pro Throttle below A rotary switch where one turns the knob to select one of a number of options - not shown here - but see the black left hand knobs on the Saitek radio panel here So avoid assigning functions such as witchspace fuel injectors (i) or firing missiles (m) to the base of your unit!įor more details on Throttles, see Thrustmaster TM4 & CH Throttle Pro below ![]() If this is in the middle of a combat, you could find yourself well and truly stuffed, as you can no longer steer/change speed. You will need to let go of the joystick/throttle to get to the buttons on the base. *Be careful of what you assign to buttons/axes on the base of the joystick/throttle. This guide deals only with assigning in-game functions (such as steering or firing a missile) to the axes and buttons on a joystick/throttle.įor setting up an axis profile (to correct a drunken bias - or to achieve more precision in flight) - read Dizzy's guide to Setting up Joystick Axis Profiles Important Points
