FFS. Received my CH HOTAS today. The bloody Z axis on the pro throttle does not work. It just jitters, whether within windows calibration or CH Manager. I'm starting to question my choice of a hobby. update. CH Products responded to my email by calling me. Unfortunately after some brief troubleshooting, the CH rep determined that the potentiometer for the Z axis is defective. UGH. BTW, they were surprised I was able to dig up the CH Manager software from their site. They definitely recommend not using it. I will say this, CH Products responded to my email by phoning me, about 15 mins after I sent the email. I'm impressed by that type of customer service.

I've seen some whispering online that CH Control Manger works in Windows 11. It definitely does. I had to install it as the CH Rudder Pedals cannot be calibrated correctly otherwise in Win11 (the break axis are shortened to 50% - 100%, no 0 - 50% from what I remember).

I wish somebody would give that CH Manager software some much needed love.

I am being sent a replacement Pro Throttle from the distributor. They are sending it without even receiving the defective one back. Distributor is asking CH Products what to do with the defective one. The distributor has never had a problem with CH Products. I have read Logitech will replace defective throttles (X56) if you send a video of you severing the usb chord. It beats paying for return shipping.

If only they would update their pots. They're pretty good already, they would be great if they went to hall effect

Could be they have the wires plugged into the wrong terminals? I'd find a diagram online to cross reference.

That absolutely could be the case. I cooked one of my toe brake pots years ago when I rewired my CH pedals to be dual USB/Gameport for my HOTAS Cougar.

If that's a brand new CH HOTAS isn't it covered by warranty? If not brand new, new pot should fix IF something else wasn't wired wrong inside...

Drop in replacement "MagRez" made by Rel4y archangel wallpaperhttps://forum.dcs.world/topic/214485-ch-products-upgrades/Use these don't represent improvement - due the low resolution of USB controller (8 Bit - 256 "steeps"), only longevity.
