Keyboard documentation? And question about CH Products control manager

[Jodet]

Is there a document somewhere that lists all the FC keyboard commands in one place? 

 

Also, years ago I tried to use the CH Products control manager software and it wouldn't work with the latest release of Windows.   I asked CH if they were going to tell Microsoft their latest update broke this software and they said, 'Eh, why bother'.   

 

Did it ever get fixed?    You used to not be able to map keys to the buttons on the controllers.

Works fine for me!

Do a search, the are a couple lists of key commands floating out here.

I wouldn't bother with the Control Manager software. It's horribly outdated and not really necessary to run the game or calibrate the controllers. Just map your key assignments inside the game.

I gave up on Ctrl Mgr (and CH actually) quite a while back but I did hear that if you remove Microsoft Store from Windows it will work. No idea whatsoever if that is true, or why it would have any effect. As others have said, just map the buttons/hats in-game..

I own a CH Fighterstick and Pro Throttle, the Control Manager gave me trouble these last years, and yes there was some weird intercation with the Windows store at some point. Nowadays it works, but I need sometimes 3 to 4 attemps at loading my profile before it works properly (when I hear a USB connect sound or when no sound at all after loading the profile). I haven't given up because I still need to have the shift action with the pinkie button in order to map everything I need, otherwise I'd probably assign the buttons directly in-game.

I've not seen any of those problems.

My Flightstick would not work until I calibrated it in Control manager.    As soon as I did that it was fine, but before?   Plane was flying around in crazy circles.

I only still use the CH Control Manager software because I learned how back in 2012.  I wouldn’t bother learning it from scratch now.

 

It works fine for me on Windows 10
