You are the winner. This was it. Everything working normally. What an adventure. Thanks again to everyone for the help

Thank you all for the suggestions. I backed everything up, uninstalled and reinstalled both main and open beta. Happy to report that the f18 back to normal in the main version. I did download the f16 but I did not download the f18 for beta. By the time everything had loaded it was pretty late but a quick check did confirm the same problems existed with the f16, so I will start the troubleshoot again when I get home. Thanks again

Yes, Sorry for not clarifying. So here is the present situation; Under gameplay in the options menu, everything is unchecked. The F-16 control inputs will only work if I assign them in the _easy preset. If I assign anything under the f-16 preset in the controls window it is completely unresponsive. To test this, I tried a few various easy keyboard assignments, which none of them worked. The same goes if I assign any axis movement in the f-16 preset with the _easy preset totally empty. No response. Where it gets really frustrating is that the f18 was effected by this. I have no idea how or why this happened but now I am having exactly the same issue with the f-18 in both open beta and normal dcs. Control axis assignments only work in the _game for f-18 and _easy for F16, and this is true as well for the f18 in normal dcs. I am about to throw in the towel and do a total wipe and reinstall. I'm fine with bugs in openbeta, I get that there will still be bugs, but what I don't understand is how my normal DCS got messed up. Up until this point with the 18/14 I hadn't had any major issues and now the 18 is unusable. Very frustrating, if there are any other tips let me know, I am going to take a break before I wipe everything Thanks again for all the advice Z

All check boxes under gameplay are unchecked. Ran repair, the same issue is persistent. Oddly, the f14 works without issue. There are two profiles for the f18 and f16 for options. Can I delete the easy option to see if that is what’s causing the issue?

I deleted and reinstalled open beta. tried all the above options except the repair which I will doing next but now somehow my normal dcs function is effected, rendering everything basically useless. The _easy mode for both f18 and f16 have ruined functionality of my normal DCS now. I am at a complete loss.

Thank you, I will give this a shot

I’m having even more issues now. None of the keyboard commands seem to work when assigned. The flight control axis only respond to the f-16_easy and not to the actual F-16. For ex, can’t close canopy with mapped key. Then as a test for refuel/rearm assignment, that doesn’t respond. When I clear all Axis controls from the -easy config, it becomes totally unresponsive. This is quite strange to say the least. Any tips are appreciated

I figured out the issue, in the settings for the aircraft, there is another category for F-16_easy. For whatever reason the mapping on this setup trumped the map for the standard aircraft. Thanks!

I currently have a TM Warthog with Saitek Pro Rudder. I have zero issues in normal DCS, but when I run Beta and try to configure the F-16, it’s totally out of control. For example. I set thrust to joy_z on throttle hotas. When I slide up and down it registers on the screen. Then for rudder I set joy_rz on rudder and it too responds appropriately on option page. Then I enter aircraft and as I slide throttle forward, the throttle becomes the rudder. 0-50% rudder left, 50-100% thrust it goes right. Then it gets more strange. I set wheel brakes, and when I engage the wheel brakes, the joystick moves. Like it can’t separate the separate axis. Please advise. I erased copy and redownloaded. I cleared all axis controls and reset each individually and problem replicated. I then reopened DCS non-beta and f14/18 flew without issue Thanks
