  1. I am well aware of how the assignments work. The Axis were all cleared before assigning new axis. When you map the controller axis for pitch it it maps JOY_Y, if you move over to the throttle column and map the right throttle it also shows up as JOY_Y. Yes, DCS should differentiate between them, but is not, it is not identifying them as two inputs. JOY_Y on both the stick and throttle (and JOY_X) are being mapped as the exact same axis. By going into the AXIS Tune function, and selecting the JOY_Y/JOY_X for the throttle and setting them as sliders, corrected the issue. It is repeatable for all the planes and BS2. I did not have this issue this morning when using my X-52pro. It mapped fine, so based on that information, it must be DCS not seeing a difference between the throttle and stick axis. Incidentally it is doing the same thing with the JOY_RZ (rudder) on the stick, and the JOY_RZ (Rotary 3) on the throttle.
  2. I found it. The Saitek X55 is two separate controllers in windows and it reads each throttle as its own axis, hence the second joystick and being able to control pitch and roll using the throttle. In the DCS axis control settings, under "Axis Tune" you can select the axis to be read as a slider. This cleared up the game reading the throttle inputs as axis control inputs. DCS shows JOY_X for both the stick and the right throttle, it makes no differentiation between the two in the settings, which was causing the issue. Other sims seems to show the throttle as "Joystick1" and the control stick as "Joystick". Thanks for the quick assistance.
  3. Yes I went through each aircraft and have the same issue. With further testing, the throttle is acting as its own stick. So the right throttle is acting as the X axis and the left as the Y access. So as far as DCS is concerned I an using two flight sticks and no throttle, I can fly with my throttle for lack of better description. I'm sure it is a setting I am missing but am stumped at this point.
  4. I am having an odd issue with my Saitek X 55. When I map the axis controls to the Throttle, it shows Joy_Y (or JOY_X and Joy Yis mapping each throttle for the a10)as the control. So once I load the sim (A10-P51 etc) my throttle controls roll. I have the same issue with BS2. I do not however have the issue with IL2 Cliffs of Dover or Rise of flight. Am I missing a step? I tried and clearing the axis commands, however the issue persists.
  5. Hello, I received a %60 coupon with my track IR. The issue is that I am either entering it wrong or the system is not applying the discount. I enter the 14 digit code into the coupon code box, and click on the refresh button, but the discount is not applied to the price. Any assistance would be appreciated.
  6. EDIT: I just installed it to a second PC with no issues. That PC is also running Windows 7 Ultimate. I'll try and swap drives and see what happens. I was able to install a few other games yesterday with no issues, DCS seems to be the only one that will not install. It gives the same error codes (Error code 13) every time, however it is is failing on a different file in the extraction phase (the part where it states "extracting xxx.xxMB of 1.92GB @ X.XXMB/s, X minutes remaining"). Always just over half way. I'll update this post again if it installs on the other PC. EDIT #2. Went through the PC, Registery etc and removed any trace of Eagle Dynamics, DCS. Tried to reinstall under just Win 7 and no compatibility profiles and this time it installed. I'm not going to call it a fix, but what ever was causing the issue, is not anymore.
  7. No-Go. Tried both from a Thumb drive and HDD. It cannot extract random files it seems. CHKDSK and the other suggestions did not show any outside issues. I have turned my virus protection off for each instance, and have ran with the Run Administrator command. I have also tried under Xp, Vista, Vista (service pack1) comparability codes. For what ever reason, the disk has suddenly become corrupt, even though it installed with issues under Vista. EDIT: I tried the DVD again and now get this error. The disk is completely clear of any scratches.
  8. Thanks for the ideas. I was in process of copying to a thumb drive. I'll try directly to the HDD also.
  9. So what could be the issue if you get the error 13 code with the DVD version? I'm failling on the this file every time. ........... Extracting Shapes\HEMTT_P1.LOM (704,335 bytes)...done. Extracting Shapes\HMMWV_M1025.LOM (2,116,772 bytes)...failed. Extract failed with error code 13 The game had installed with no issues before in Vista, I am now running Win 7 Ultimate.
  10. I am aware of that, I was referring more to the icons. When you drop Infantry on the map it would be nice if it dropped 10 soldiers per icon not a single soldier with his own icon. It really makes for a cluttered map when you are zoomed in. It is also a bit of a pain when you are making a US Infantry platoon (mech) template and have to add 20 individual soldiers. It is a bit nit picky. Thanks for the suggestion though. Background on this "wish" is I have been working on a mission against a US Army Infantry Company (heavy) in the defense. With slice elements it is 24+ vehicles. I gave up adding individual dismounted troops @ 2 squads. I'm chocking it up to an inept Company Commander that is keeping two plattoons worth of soldiers inside their Bradleys. :smilewink: To add to the wish list again, they seriously need to slow down the rate of fire for rocket launching vehicles. Two Avenger units firing look like something out of Mechwarrior, fly over a hill and you suddenly have 16 Stingers flying at you, then they reload 5 seconds later.
  11. Placing an Infantry icon in the editor should drop a Squad (team minimum) at that location, not a single soldier. At the very least make it an option, "Infantry M4 (AK etc), Infantry 249, Infantry Squad". Of course it would be fantastic if IFV's, APC's, UH-60's, MI-8's etc, had a "dismount troops" as a waypoint option. It can be done with triggers right now, but its a bit cumbersome. Also being able to place armor in a hull down defilade/fighting position would be pretty cool also. An armor unit, regardless of the nationality would not be in the defence sitting out in the open, in the middle of a field.
  12. Yeah I read through that one before. Oddly enough after posting this I set the Global and DCS setting to include "enhance the applications settings" and viola suddenly I have AA. So I am not sure which one fixed it. EDIT: Actually it seems to be sproradic. I have yet again lost AA in game.
  13. I have searched for an answer on this but it seems I am the only having this issue. I can not for the life of me get Anti aliasing to work in DCS. I have set the nVidia control panel to "override any application setting" and have tried 2x-16x with no difference. I have tried using global settings and setup DCS.EXE under program settings to no avail. Am I missing something?
