CH products/Vista 64/and WarBirds

[wilz]

Mat, built a new box with Vista 64 as the operating system and I'm experiencing problems with my CH stick, rudder and throttle. I have installed the latest drivers for CH Control Manager and CM Start (CM Start in the start up). However each time I start the computer in the morning all my USB CH devices are mapped differently. So in order to play the game I must re-program everything just like I'm starting fresh. I called CH support and they said that lots of folks have been complaining about this issue and they think it's something within the game that is causing the problem. They suggested that I contact WB's support and see if there is a patch/work around from IEN. The only other USB device would be my printer and it doesn't change position.

I've been playing since 1996 and this is the first problem I've experience with any operating system. Please "throw me a bone".

Anyone else having issues with this? Or know of way to make it work?

I think I've figured it out. It seems that when I installed the USB CH sticks that I somehow have them arranged in the Control Manager differently than in Vista. I've found that if I run Control Manager after booting up it arranges back to the an order that WB's recognizes and I don't have to go back into input mapper and do everyting over again.

CM start doesn't seem to work with Vista so it's just one more step running CH Control Manager before entering the game.

Now to figure out why I'm getting flashes and tearing when the map is displayed.
