Laser/NWS pinky button

[peter]

TM warthog. Did something change with default key bindings recently? As of a few days ago my pinky button will not engage/disengage NWS OR fire the laser. What commands am I looking for in the key binding options. Laser train? I though the Warthog was all mapped for the A-10C by default in DCS. It has worked like a dream up until a few days ago. Would a re-install solve it, although I detest doing that task.

 

Thank you for the help.

That switch is the NWS Steering Engage/Disengage (the laser stuff is just something else it does) and that is how it is listed. I don't recall the exact name but it is in the HOTAS section.

Maybe easier and quicker than a reinstall would be checking the controller mappings. For that you will want to check "HOTAS" -> "HOTAS Nosewheel Steering Button".

Note that if this is controller binding issue, that info is in your Saved Games folder which will not be touched by a reinstall. Also, the repair function should accomplish the same task as a reinstall, with less effort.

Thank you very much guys. Ill try all of these.

Cant figure it out. Tried repair and still the pinky button does not engage/disengage NWS or the laser. Looked at the HOTAS settings in options and it shows as being controlled by that button but still not working. Any ideas? And yes, I do have a TGP pod loaded...lol

Try deleting/renaming Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\A-10C\joystick and let the sim recreate a default config.

Check that the button is actually working - perhaps with that windows system control joystick "applet" or just try to re-assign that button to a function in DCS, just to check if it will be reckognized at all.

I think that button is double assigned in Options Controls. Delete the second assignment and that will fix it...

The button is working. Checked the device analyzer in TARGET software.

I recall having to delete the assignment to something odd -- is it Stick To Trimmer Control Mode? Can't remember, but it gets assigned to the Button 3 for both the Warthog Throttle and Stick and I remove that.

 

Try going into Controls for the A-10C Sim and press the button to see what is is assigned to.

Thats it. I deleted the default profile and had the sim rebuild one. But i did notice that before, stick to trimmer got assigned to JoyBtn 3 for whatever reason. Is all working now, thanks guys.
