I recently updated my old CH HOTAS with new magnetoresistive sensors and 12 bit mainboards. They work perfectly and are rock solid in BMS and DCS, but when I move them in WOTR, nada. Tried resetting devices in the "Workshop", tried checking the FAQ, neither do any good. The CH Control Manager abandonware no longer functions at all, is there anything I can try? Updated to 1.20..

Edit - used Win10 calibration and went back in, everything seems ok now but the FAQ is still 404 and the Bindings program has issues (see follow up post).

Thanks, I seem to have an issue with the Bindings program itself now. It loads quickly but takes a long time (10s or so) to fill all the Input Device (greyed) fields in. Click on the "Bind to Axis" or "Select Controller" and i'm met with the same slow motion refresh. Even moving the Bindings window around the screen is delayed. Clicking the "Backup" button is a 2-3 minute exercise of patience, can't imagine how long it will take to bind all the keys like this...

FAQ links on the website support page work, we recently had to move the server so the forum sticky links are bad now - I'll fix now.

Dealing with your issue in support.

Thank you, I have responded to Supports (almost instantaneous!) response to the issue with the following ;

I found the issue and it lies with the new 12 bit Mainboard in the CH Pro Throttle, not anything on your end. The gear had been working fine in the two main sims I use, BMS 4.34 U2 and DCS World. When I went to reset all the binding in WOTR after the 1.2 update I noticed immediately the axis numbers weren't moving correctly so I went to Win10 "Game Controller Settings" to check calibration. The Fighterstick, though working perfectly in the other sims and in the MMJoy2 program, showed it to be waaaay out of whack but it calibrated all axis perfectly. When I went to the Pro Throttle I got an error saying it was not plugged in correctly, the pedals (OEM mainboard) worked fine. Rechecked Alternative Launcher Axis bindings for BMS and everything still worked fine for all gear. Back into WOTR Bindings and the slowdown I reported occurred.

Light bulb went off after my reading supports response, I unplugged the Pro Throttle and went back into WOTR Bindings. Guess what, it reacts normally and works perfectly! I have no idea what is causing it but have to assume there is a problem with the new mainboard in the Pro Throttle (as the Fighterstick has the identical mainboard), and am in touch with MTWSims about it. For the throttle it's not a big deal to switch back to the OEM mainboard, which I will do should MTWSims not rectify this quickly. Consider the matter closed!
Thank you,
Gary R.
