CH Controllers not seen....
 

For some reason I cant get the game to see my CH stick/throttle/pedals in the controls options axes setup, I move the controller in the appropriate slot but nothing happens, so the game is not registering the controllers although I can fire my guns etc, Just the various axes are not responding.


Win XP 32 here at the moment. All works well in IL2-46.

I have tried various combinations of mapped mode/direct X/unmapped and OFF in the CH manager software, but no joy :(

in your c:\users\(name)\documents\1c soft\il2 folder look at your conf file and make sure

[rts]
tickLen=30
ProcessAffinityMask=3
maxTimerTicksInRealTick=20
; 0 - not use, 1 - show cursor and not capture, 2 - not show cursor, and capture
mouseUse=2
; 0 - not use, 1 - use if hardware exist
joyUse=1
; 0 - not use, 1 - use if hardware exist
trackIRUse=1
DisableIME=0
culture=en-GB

that is set right. if it is and it still doesn't work ... idk.

Double click your mouse in that slot and it opens a new window, it is there that you assign the controller.

Its not working that's why I asked for help :)

Nothing happens when I move the axes.

OK thanks for your trouble, Steam is updating at the minute after an install of Win 7 x64 bit so once it finishes I'll check it out :0

OK I have that line ok in my conf., the game is not detecting the controllers.
I am going to re-install all the CH software and Hardware re-boot etc and see how it goes.
I suspect it might be something to do with Win 7 64 bit.

Spent several hours installing/uninstalling CH Control Manager etc.....booting/re-booting and all that melarkey.

No joy the came is not seeing my controller axes at all, one or two commands on the JS buttons it responds to but not the Axes.

And please do not tell me to check the axes section........

Wulf - I'm running CH stick, throttle,rudder - not had a problem at all - pm me details of your setup - or I can pm you ts details and chat to work out why mine works and yours doesn't

I'm having the same problem right now, just trying to find the time to solve it...

full set up working herejust to let you know it can work i didnt do anything other than go to controls option and click the required ,i really hope you sort it,

Just updated to Win 7 myself. You don't need CH Control Manager except if you use the MFP. Had me foxed for a while.

Obviously you do if you have compiled a map ;)

I'm guessing its something silly that I haven't noticed or its my unfamiliarity with Win 7.

But no-one has an answer yet :(

Fair enough..but have you tried uninstalling CH control manager and seeing if the controllers are detected?

I assume you downloaded the latest CH control software for Win 7.

I have spent MANY hours installing/uninstalling booting/re-booting/closing down , ticking boxes/un-ticking boxes, I don't know now wether I'm coming or going.

The game isn't seeing the controllers, everything works fine in Il2 46, but I can't get CoD to see my axes... :(

||Which is a pity because even though I've a low end system, the game doesn't look bad and plays smoothly enough so far :)

Are you definately double clicking the axis assignment box/area and getting a second window to appear. Its when the second window appears that you move your axis to assign it. When you've got them all assigned hit apply, then go back into controls and hit save and give your mapping a file name that you can load up next time you start the game.

Mine does the same thing although im using a warthog hotas. Click on axis window second window pops up... move stick around.. nada.... move throttle... nada... move pedals... nada

Nothing is recognized

this game is so frustrating as hell to get the controls working

It's definitely a bug.

Guys, mine are working fine now although I'm not sure exactly what of a number of things I did worked, and the game still messEs things up now and then, BUT...

Apparently the fix requires you to reinstall the game itself along with CHCM being sure to have Administrator rights when you do. I saw a link on todays update thread that has instructions but I'm posting from my phone right now so look for yourselves and good luck!
