Blooddawn1942

I thought it couldn't hurt to hop in and say a short hello. :) I've been simming for 25 years now. At least if you can call stuff like Wings and the old stuff from Microprose sims, comparing to today's standards.;) I had Lock On and BS, but skipped the A-10 for a while because I feared the complexity. But since the Mustang was released, I purchased every single Module. I also use CloD,BoS,RoF, Wings over Flanders Fields and an extremely modified FSX. 90% of my PC time is reserved for simming. DCS should roughly occupy 40% of my simming time. 25% Bos, RoF,CloD and FSX 10% and 5% WoFF. But this can always change. Setup is Track IR,Hotas Warthog,MFG Crosswind Pedals and a custom made Panel with 20 buttons, 10 switches and 3 poties (rheostats).

OK, did some testing, and this is how it is: If I start DCS and hop in a P-51, everything is just fine. I can map all the weapon related shortcuts in the pause menu. But... If I start DCS and open the setup menu or hop in a TF-51 before I hop in a P-51, things remain as I explained. As if the TF-51 controll setup overleaps the P-51.... Really strange

Thats true. Categories like K-14 and stick are kompletly missing. Sorry, the attached screenshots features only german settings, but You can clearly see, that there is no K-14 and no "Waffen" (Weapons)...

I tried another thing. I deleted all Joystick lua files from the P-51 sim and easy and the TF-51 sim and easy and did the repair function again. All files have been restored but nothing changed ingame.

As an example here is a copy and paste of the command lines for the stick which contains hte commands for weapon release and gunfire. They are maped to my warthog buttons 1 and 2 as they should be. But nothing appears ingame. -- Stick {combos = {{key = 'JOY_BTN2'}}, down = iCommandPlanePickleOn, up = iCommandPlanePickleOff, name = _('Weapon release'), category = _('Stick')}, {combos = {{key = 'JOY_BTN1'}}, down = iCommandPlaneFire, up = iCommandPlaneFireOff, name = _('Gun fire'), category = _('Stick')},

I had it all perfect working in 1.5. I tried deleting the mentioned flie and did the repair run. The file has been restored but still I don´t have all the weapon related shortcuts as if I was in the TF 51. I checked the lua file with the wordpad, and indeed there are command lines for K14 gunsight and weapon release etc. But they don´t appear in the DCS World controller setup menu. I have no further ideas what could be done. Strange thing is, in the setup menu, the weapon related shortcuts for the "Arcade-P51" are there.

All the weapon related shortcuts are gone, as if the TF 51 control sheme was active for the P 51. 2 Weeks ago everything was just fine. I had all the weapon related input options mapped to my devices . But Since I fired the P-51 up just yesterday, I can only click the weapon related stuff in the cockpit, (Gunsight, Bomb and rocket fuses, fire button etc..) Checking the Controll setup for the P 51 reveals, that there is no sub folder called weapons, which should be there. Any ideas? A Mate of mine has the sme issue.:(

Did something crazy but it worked out. I found a auto-updater exe in the temp folder. With this exe I replaced the original in the DCS World/bin folder and now everything seems to be allright again. Strange thing though....

I have a serious Problem and I searched the Forum but couldn´t find something regarding the Problem I have. I fired DCS up an hour ago and the updater begun to search for an update an got stuck. I rebooted my machine and since then, every time I try to start the updater a message appears telling me, that the application is not compatible with the Windows version I´m running. I tried of course compatibility mode and what not. I can start DCS itsel, but without an working updater it´s kind of useless. I would be very grateful if some kind Sir has an Idea what happened and what to do... Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bitSP1 Win7 Intelcore i5 2500k GTX760 8GB DDR3
