Greetings everyone! I'm a DCS World newbie. I recently returned to flight simming from my early days of Falcon 3.0, 4.0 I chose DCS World for the similarities and modernization that this sim offers over Falcon. I love it! I'm really happy and feel "back in the saddle again" after decades of not simming. I also scored MSFS 2020 and will purchase X-Plane 12 once it's released for early access. I'm really stoked about the realism that the modern flight models are offering at the present time.
I'm finding myself in a unique quandary and need help as to how to fix my issue. I connected my new Warthog Hotas system, installed all the drivers/firmware. For the most part, the default configuration was working fine. I was in the process of throttling up my F-16 and taking off to the friendly skies. I even managed some newbie landings. So no issues there. The problem began when I purchased and installed my new Thrustmaster TPR pedals yesterday. All hell broke loose when my F16 shot out like a rocket from the taxiway and crashed into the trees. Furthermore, my HOTAS throttle is inverted, max power when it should be off or in the idle position. My rudder pedals default to the throttle settings and my joystick doesn't do anything. Even my default keyboard assignments have become unresponsive.
As a last ditch effort, I tooled around with the control settings and was overwhelmed by the extensive list of assignable parameters.
Is there a way to reassign the default settings for the keyboard, Hotas, TPR without having to configure every single parameter manually?
How do I find which version of the F-16 do I have and where do I find the aircraft updates if I need to update to the latest available version?
What totally befuddles me is that this erratic reassignment of my controls only happened after I installed the TPR pedals and is only affecting DCS World. My HOTAS system and rudder pedals are all working fine right out the box in MSFS 2020 without any of the issues I began encountering in DCS World.
Anyway as it is customary to say in the military, when a new member introduces himself at a new permanent duty station, I'm damn glad to be here!
