Gentlemen,
I have been using a CH Products HOTAS set (Fighterstick, Pro Throttle, and Rudder Pedals) for years. Suddenly a Windows 10 update has caused a software conflict that makes them very cumbersome to use. Therefore I have re-equipped my sim cockpit/turret/submarine input gear. I would like to offer them to this community for bids of at least $100 (US$), unless shipping to Outer Mongolia would eat that up. They are completely functional, all buttons and pots perform like new. I also have a set of ThrustMaster Rudder Pedals, new in box, that I will send to anyone who will cover shipping and whatever extra you would care to send me. PM me if you are interested, I will leave this open for about 2 weeks, and then review whatever bids I receive.
This community has been very supportive of me and I would like to repay y'all.

That's some serious hardware to fly an airplane on a desktop PC.

Have you tried solving the conflict problem? I am sure that there are others facing the same thing as well. But I suppose that you will b getting newer HOTAS hardware to take on the next generation of games - so no worries, eh?

Thats very generous of you jhay.
I use Thrustmaster Cougar HOTAS but have had the itch to get something different as I have been using this same stick for years. One of the sticks I was thinking about replacing it with was CH. Since I also run Win10 I would be interested to heard about the software conflict you are dealing with.
Did you try updating the CH drivers? Surely they would be aware of the issue & come out with a fix quickly.

Jhay is a generous soul.
We have a great community here.

Gentlemen,
Regarding my software conflict, I have spent hours with loading, uninstalling, downloading, rebooting, everything. Others far more knowledgeable than myself have been generous with their time and struggled to help me find a solution, to no avail. Others on the CH website have encountered this problem, some have solved it, others have given up. And still others have never had it.
The CH hardware is is bullet-proof, in my opinion. These devices have been in use for almost ten years, and function just as well as when they came out of the box. I would gladly keep them in use and return my more expensive replacements, if I could just use the software without having to uninstall and re-install it after every shut-down. And the software still works fine for all my sims when it is installed.
Therefore, I can make no guarantee that it will work with your Windows 10 installation, although I know of two DoW members who have the same set-up with Windows 10 and have had no problems.
