alhefner Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I just got my CH flight yoke, basic model, and only had time to hook it up and look through a few things before going to work. One thing I noticed is that when I try to calibrate the x&y axis, the elevator axis never properly calibrates. It shows to be high of center. So, is there some trick to getting the CH yoke properly calibrated and aligned? Will the elevator trim wheel affect that and should I do something with it to correct things? Thanks folks!

zswobbie1 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Maybe consider purchasing FSUIPC? Far better calibration, etc than the defaults. Robin Cape Town, South Africa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSkorna Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Properly calibrate in Windows first. That is what FSX sees. Then you can fine tune in FSX or as suggested through a paid version of FSUIPC. http://www.air-source.us/images/sigs/000219_195_jimskorna.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trim wheel is for that function, NOT for use in-sim. Also, make sure to scroll down in the control assignment window in-sim - by default A CH lever is applied to rudder control. Push it full forward for take off - aircraft scoots off left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jandjfrench Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Hey al, I have the CH yoke and am just using the default Windows software. I haven't done any calibration in a long time and everything has been working fine. I did paint a white dot on the mechanical pitch trim control so I could see if it was centered prior to any calibration or general use. As I read your post I did check the settings in the control panel. With the trim all the way up I get this: And with the trim down: Hope this helps. Jim F.

av8tor98 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 That is the worst possible way to calibrate things. May be true for the yoke, but the throttle quad I have needed the CH control manager to properly calibrate it. At least on my system.
