Problem with CH Throttle Quadrant conflicting with another controller?

[Rigsby]

Just when I thought I had solved my CH throttle Quadrant issues, I now have another one. The thing is I playFifa 2014 with a Logitec gaming pad and if I don't disable the CH Throttle Quadrant while play Fifa, it conflicts with my Logitec gaming pad. I tried taken my CH throttle out of the USB each time I play Fifa, but each time I do this and plug it back in after playing, I then have to reconfigure all BOS settings again. I then tried a program called USB Deview. This allows you to disable your USB's without taken them out, but I still get the same problem where I have to Reconfigure all of the BOS setting after I re-enable the USB. Does anyone know a way to get around all this because it's beyond annoying now. Thanks!

I'll give it a go. Thanks!

JoyToKey has a option which will allow it to define the Windows ID of each device you have plugged in.

 

So if BOS expects your throttle to be #ID2 then you set that device in JoyToKey to always be #ID2.

The manual method is to ensure you always connect your devices in the same order.

 

Having some difficulty working that program out, is there a quick way of doing this instead of having to reconfig every joystick in that program? When you say about the manual method do you mean just unplug the USB and then place it back in the same port without using this program? I have tried that and it didn't work for me if that's what you meant.

Going to try it now. Will I have to keep the JoyToKey program running in the background for it to work each time? Cheers!

[Rigsby]

Damn it still doesn't work I named the three devices Joystick 2, Joystick 3, Joystick 4. Still conflicts.

Can you tell me if there is a way to start it when windows starts. Normally programs can do this, but I don't see a setting on this that allows the program to start with windows? Thanks!

Make a short (RMB click over Joytokey.exe) and copy the shortcut for (Windows) Start folder.

I must be lucky, all my hardware seems to always play nice together!

Course, now that I said that, it will probably go to pot here next lol...

All my other controllers are fine, it's just the bloody CH Quadrant that likes to mess my Fifa up. The strange thing is though, when I go to configuration screen, the game pad doesn't appear to do anything erratic while the CH Quadrant is connected. I moved all the levers on the CH Quadrant and the Logitech gaming pad and none of them seem to conflict outside of the Fifa game.

Its not the hardware, its the software. Fifa only accepts one controller input so whatever device that is plugged in takes the 1st controller slot then that's what the game see's.

[Rigsby]

Thanks for all the input, but just one last question. Extreme_One, do you use JoyToKey, or are you just unplugging the devices without using it? If you are using it, do you get it to start with windows or are you just using it when you unplug your devices? Do you then plug your devices back in with the program running? Cheers!

?

@Rewin - I don't suppose there is any way that will make Fifa see just my Gaming pad first then? I will mess about with JoyToKey, but just wondered if there was another way rather then disable CH Quadrant? Problem for me is as soon as I disable the Quadrant, I lose all BOS settings for some reason even if I plug it back into the same Usb slot.

I do what Extreme says and unplug any controllers I'm not using as I switch between flight controllers, yokes, steering wheels, pedals etc. FIFA is essentially a console port and so only designed to pick up one controller. I don't use JoytoKey so I don't know if that will help you sorry.

You try on Control Panel > Game Controllers > Advanced set the gamepad as "preferred device" (or something...) before play Fifa?

Work for some games.

 

Fast access to Game Controllers:

Start > joy.cpl
