Joystick throttle suddenly not recognized

[Diplocaulus]

I have a Thrustmaster T.16000M joystick and it has been working great with the A-10C and the Uh-1H. Yesterday I purchased and installed Flaming Cliffs 3 and now suddenly my joystick throttle control has stopped working. Meanwhile other joystick features continue to work fine, it's just the throttle that has disappeared from all keybindings.

 

When I go to the control options and attempt to bind the joystick throttle, it's as though the throttle control isn't there, regardless of how much I move it. This is the case for every DCS World product. Meanwhile I have confirmed that the throttle is working via Windows 7 configuration utility, and it still works fine for my other non-DCS World flight sims.

 

I have opened a support ticket with DCS World, but no solution yet, so I thought I would check here. Can anybody help? Thanks.

User/Saved Games/DCS/Input/ Folder, Rename the Input folder so it re-builds the Input files.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately the problem remains--no throttle response. Even if I try to select "Slider 0" from the joystick button drop-down menu, there is no Slider 0 to select, just joystick buttons. :no_sad:

are you on axis settings?

Not sure what you mean. I think previously throttle binding was automatic in DCS World, and when it is not I select the joystick option for throttle and slowly move the throttle up (or down), at which point it's automatically detected.

 

I do have Thrustmaster's TARGET GUI installed, but haven't really used it. Maybe there's something I can do from there?

 

FOLLOW-UP: Were you asking if I was filtering the keybindings by Axis Commands? No, I've been filtering by Flight Controls, if that's what you meant.

Finally got it to work. Turned out the problem was that I was trying to map the throttle slider via Flight Controls, where in fact it needs to be done under Axis Commands. Who woulda thought?

Skatezilla apparently :P

I can be a little slow, but Skatezilla did provide the clue that ultimately led me to resolve this vexing issue. This after I re-downloaded all 10 GB of source files, uninstalled and then reinstalled DCS World thinking that something fundamental had gotten corrupted. :)
