Ok. I have a question before I make a 200 dollar purchase. Has anyone bought the CH Pro Yoke AND the CH Rudder Pedals both in USB? If so, has anyone used them in FS04? I see the compatibility listed on their website for FS00, FS02, and it kinda worries me. Just curious if these products will work in my flight sim. I have all of them, all the way to FS98, but I cant go back after FS04!
Thank you kindly!
Josh

I've used both since FS2004 first came out. Installed easily and nary a problem.

I have that setup as well, and I love it. I use the CH Control Manager to set up all the buttons on the yoke to control flaps, gear, views, view zoom, elevator trim, push-to-talk (for AVC on VATSIM), TO/GA, autopilot, autobrakes, and spoilers. I can usually fly a full approach without ever taking my hands off the yoke. Very cool!

Wow, thats pretty cool that you can do all of that Ross. Spiffy that you can fly an approach without ever taking your hands off the yoke, wow, looking forward to getting the setup!! I think the push-to-talk is great as well. Off to the stores I go!

Ross, this will sound totally stupid, but I don't know how to assign TO/GA to the yoke. Tried through FS control assignments and through FSUIPC and either way I couldn't find it. Help me out.

Ross,
You may have opened a can of worms...;-) Can you tell me how to get the push to talk programmed on the yoke? I can only seem to get keyboard on mouse buttons to do that.

Hi Albert,
I use the button 1 of my CH Yoke for PTT. I use FSUIPC to do that.
I have 2 PCs conected via widefs, here's the steps...
In FSUIPC ----> buttons tab.
Press the button you want to use on your joystick (button 1 in my case).
Select FS control
Select Keysend from the drop down command list and enter a 1 in the parameter box.
Select Keysend again, in the control when button released box and a parameter 2.
In the wide client ini file include this the three lines.
[User]
ActionKeys=Yes
KeySend1=RWon
KeySend2=RWoff
Best Regards
