AFK activate/deactivate mapped to joystick button works differently than keyboard


Recommended Posts

Posted

When mapping AFK activation/deactivation to a joystick button, the joystick button can only be used to activate AFK. However, the corresponding keyboard mapping ("J" by default) works as expected, i.e. toggles AFK on and off.

 

The fast disconnect AFK/AA button does work correctly when mapped to joystick.

 

I'm using a CH Fighterstick if it matters.

 

A bug?

Haven't tried this yet, but here's a quick fix that should make it work:

 

1. Open [DCS World OpenBeta]\Mods\aircraft\AJS37\Input\joystick\default.lua

2. Go to line 4:

 

{combos = {{key = 'J'}}, down = 3304, cockpit_device_id = devices.ENGINEPANEL, value_down = 1.0, name = 'Autothrottle mode AFK', category = 'Autopilot'},

 

3. Replace that 3304 by 3104 (as found in the keyboard\default.lua)

4. Save and try it out fsgrin.png

Thanks, haven't had a chance to try this.

 

Any word on an official fix for this?

 

Of in not mistaken, there are other reports of other mappings exhibiting the same one way issues when mapped to joystick.
