blader Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Hi there, apologies if this has been posted already, I searched but no results.... Basically I have not flown for a while and have just loaded up DCS again to get back into it, updated to 1.2.10 Now I cannot get my X-52 Pro to work....no matter what I try I get no results. Its probably something simple I am missing but can anyone point me in the right direction? I have a profile loaded using the X-52 software which always worked great in the past but now nothing... :helpsmilie:
Blooze Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 If you open DCS Options/Controls/ and do not see your X52 listed there you will probably need to re-install your drivers. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
blader Posted September 7, 2014 Author Posted September 7, 2014 If you open DCS Options/Controls/ and do not see your X52 listed there you will probably need to re-install your drivers. I checked and the X-52 is also listed there. I then started testing using keyboard commands and strangely enough none of the keyboard commands are working either. Not sure where to go from here as now DCS is completely unplayable. I suppose a re-download and install is required? Seems the update has really messed something up in a big way. Is there a way to revert back to the previous version?
Blooze Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Try doing a DCS World repair. Then re-name your Saved Games DCS folder to DCS1. Fly a mission to see if that works. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
blader Posted September 7, 2014 Author Posted September 7, 2014 Is there a way to do a repair from within DCS?

blader Posted September 7, 2014 Author Posted September 7, 2014 ok tried that with no luck, any other recourse? (many thanks for the assistance on a Sunday btw)
txmtb Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 What version did you update from? They changed the control lua files in 1.2.8 so the old control files from previous versions will no longer work. The new control files have a .diff.lua extension instead of just .lua Win 10 64 Pro, MSI Z390 I7-9700K @5ghz Kraken Z63, 32Gb Corsair Dominator, MSI RTX-2070, 1TB NVME 2TB SSD's, TM Warthog, Pro Rudders, OpenTrack w/ IR Clip
Azrayen Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 No. Re-installing won't make any change to your Saved Games DCS folder; if there is your issue, re-installing will just be a waste of time. Apply this before considering re-installation: Then re-name your Saved Games DCS folder to DCS1. Fly a mission to see if that works. Cheers Az'
blader Posted September 7, 2014 Author Posted September 7, 2014 That seems to have done the trick. Looks like I'll have to setup all preferences again as well as my X 52 profile?
blader Posted September 7, 2014 Author Posted September 7, 2014 Ok that seems to have done the trick, many thanks guys, hopefully my profile will still work...
blader Posted September 8, 2014 Author Posted September 8, 2014 Ok all is working again. But do I have to setup everything from scratch again - all the lua files? Or can I just rename the old lua files to the new extension - .diff.lua
cichlidfan Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Or can I just rename the old lua files to the new extension - .diff.lua No. The file structure is completely different.

blader Posted September 8, 2014 Author Posted September 8, 2014 Ok thanks very much, At least I can fly again. Setting everything up tho is not going to be fun...
amigastar Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Not really the same problem as op's but i can't assign my X-52 pinky switch as modifier anymore. Does anyone have a solution for this? thanks.
