Back To Page 5 Control Manager Programming Utility If the Pro Throttle USB is the centerpiece of the CH Products USB HOTAS system, then Control Manager is its heart. The CH HOTAS would not be “alive” without it. This well thought out piece of programming software enables four significant functions with the appropriate CH Products USB hardware. First is […]
Back To Page 4 CH Products Pro Throttle USB The Pro Throttle USB is the “centerpiece” of the CH Products USB HOTAS. It is NOT designed to be a stand-alone controller, but to be combined with other CH Products units into a HOTAS system. This combination allows all CH Products USB joysticks increased programmability by virtue of […]
Back To Page 3 FighterStick USB on the left, CombatStick 568 USB on the right. CH Products FighterStick USB The FighterStick USB is the flagship of CH Products USB Joystick product line. It is designed to provide the maximum programming capability that can be incorporated into a Joystick. As part of a CH Products HOTAS, The FighterStick […]
Back To Page 2 CH Products CombatStick 568 USB The CombatStick 568 USB is the middle product in the CH USB joystick lineup. It is a representation of the USAF F-16 Falcon side stick… not an exact replica like the Thrustmaster Cougar, but similar enough to have fooled a couple buddies who are former “Viper” pilots. Therefore… […]
Back To Page 1 CH Products FlightStick Pro USB We begin at the “bottom” of the CH Products joystick line… the FlightStick Pro USB. The FlightStick Pro USB is the “basic” joystick in the CH Products USB series. It is a no frills controller that is a basic 4-button/8-position hat joystick, or it can be programmed through the […]
Originally Published April 11, 2002 Updated April 24, 2006 by Vince “Beer Camel” Putze CH Products has probably earned the title of being the FIRST Company to offer a complete USB HOTAS system for the retail market. Saitek’s X-36 / X-45 / X-52 could be considered for this distinction, but not in the purest sense of the term “realistic […]
Back to Page 3 Conclusion Emagin has made a bold attempt to bring a HMD to the general consumer. In my opinion it has fallen short though. I want to make it clear that the 800 dollar price tag is not a factor in this opinion. When considering a good LCD monitor runs around […]
Back to Page 2 Head Tracking Device The Z800 comes with a native head tracking device. This is very similar in function to the TrackIR1. What it boils down to is a mouse pointer that is directed by head movement. The motion sensor speeds are scalable in sensitivity, X axis, and Y axis. Standard […]
Back to Page 1 Hardware Set Up The quick start guide is fairly accurate and should get anyone who is somewhat familiar with their PC up and running in a few minutes. The main control unit has plug receptacles for an AC Adaptor (I didn‘t need to use this as the unit is powered […]
by Doug “Uther” Lawrence Introduction Head mounted displays (HMDs) have been around for quite some time now. Unfortunately they have not gathered much of a following for numerous reasons. Weight, eye strain, low resolution, price, and a host of other quirks have kept this technology out of mainstream production. One of the latest attempts at HMD […]
by Guest Writer Matthew “Snake122” Edwards The Ribbstick (faux stick base not included). Introduction One of the most unique aspects of the Thrustmaster Cougar is the community produced modifications to this popular stick. These modifications usually address short comings in the stock HOTAS. While the stock Cougar models the F-16 stick handle quite well, the […]
Back to Page 5 And so I have gone from a complete computer illiterate, scared to even open the case and change out a hard drive or add some RAM, or swap a video card, to someone who has built their own personal computer. With help, yes, certainly. Without some bumps along the way, […]
