G940 Can't bind trim in settings.

[par4no1d]

So that will be quick - can't bind any key on my HOTAS to Trim function...

Here is video so you know how it looks -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CbNrS7EPoI

It just doesn't save!

I was trying to maybe find input text file and edit it manualy with notepad but I couldn't find where it lies.

Got any ideas?

The .lua files for controllers can be found from your Saved Games folder; should be

 

C:\Users\<username>\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\<aircraft>

 

if you have a standard installation.

 

Make a backup of the G940 stick file and restart the sim; it should regenerate the file for you with the default bindings.

 

Another option is to manually edit the file and find the line(s) for the Trimmer. There might be two lines, or the one you have is garbled in some way. I have the trimmer on the pinky button, looks like this:

 

{combos = {{key = "JOY_BTN7"}}, down = iCommandPlaneTrimOn, up = iCommandPlaneTrimOff, name = "Trimmer", category = "Ins Cyclic Stick"},

 

For me, this happens when I edit the .luas to handle the toggle switches on the Warthog throttle; those assignments will have two lines in the controller settings, of which only one can be edited. And I'm not sure if they can be saved either.

Thank you, problem solved!

I just copy pasted this line -> {combos = {{key = "JOY_BTN6"}}, down = iCommandPlaneTrimOn, up = iCommandPlaneTrimOff, name = "Trimmer", category = "Ins Cyclic Stick"}, in lua joystick file

and it bound the button6 to the Trimmer row with T key. Everything works, thank you.
