CH Products Control Manager

[brp51d]

My windows 8.1 system reassigns joystick ids with every reboot. I have found posts about this problem on this forum and several others.I have a CH combatstick, throttle and pedals. I am trying to use the CH Products software to get around this problem. I created a map. When I change to map mode, the windows game controller panel sees the CH devices as Control manager device # rather than by name of the device as it should. When I go into IL2 BOS to configure axes and buttons in map mode with DX checked, the game still lists the devices as joy 1, 2, 3 and not as control manager devices. Is that the way it should work? I found that Rise of Flight and IL2 CLOD also see the devices as Joy 1,2,3. DCS World sees them as control manager devices 1,2,3 while in map mode. For ch control manager users how does IL 2 BOS name your controllers in map mode?

 

Thanks very much

That's how it works, yes. Also, to make things easier, make sure every device in Control Manager is listed as a unique device when you run your profile in mapped mode. Combining multiple CH devices into one virtual device is something that only really needs to be done with older computer programs. With ROF and BoS, the game will recognize as many controllers as you can plug in to your computer, so like I said, there's no need to combine them into one virtual device. My Fighterstick is device 1, then the Pro Throttle is device 2, Throttle Quad device 3, and the pedals device 4. ROF and BoS then recognize those as joy1, joy2, etc.

I was confused because I expected the controller names to be changed to control manager device on IL2 BOS.

 

Thanks very much for the quick response

Does the CH Pro Throttle's mode button work in IL-2 BOS? Would I get 3x the control options? In the specifications it says up to 176 using the Control software manager, is that compatible with IL-2?

if you get windows 7 or windows 10 you will also get a 15-45% frame rate increase and a 450% increase in security and system stability..

Yes, the mode buttons do work. And the Control manager software works like a charm.

Manager translate joystick/throttle buttons in keyboard key press, so will work for any game, as well the mode selector.

But this is set in Manager, not in BoS.
