Problem with making my own profiles

[karkka]

Hi.

 

I have some problem when I want to erase all DCS controls setting on all planes and the whole game. and I want to make my own. I have tried to clear everything and started to assign my own. But when I start a mission it just the original settings and the x-55 stick and throttle are not working properly. Example when i assign Throttle to be the throttle and the stick to maneuverer the plane P-51 mustang. the stick works. but when i move the throttle the stick moves diagonally, and to increase/decrease the throttle in the game i have to use the rotary dial on the top of the stick that are assign to elevator trim. And yes I have erased the profile from user and also saved my profiles, throttle, stick, keyboard separately.

 

Why cant I just clear everything start over and assign everything myself. And make it work.

DCS set axis in both controllers (stick and throttle).

You must clear the throttle assignement axe on stick column.

I have cleared every column on the. But I will have a look again and see if there are any other problems.

You should be aware that clearing a column does not clear the axis functions. You have to go to the axis page and clear them separately.

I don´t get this. I´ve seen In "aircraft General" there are axis command that both are on throttle and stick. I tried to clear that and then saved profile. But what about the other aircraft. Is the "general" like a shortcut for the axis control so I don´t need to program it on every aircraft? For now I just want to Clear all controls and make my own on everything. How do I delete the default permanent. Do I have to every time I start the game load my own profile on every aircraft. or if I don´t the just go back to default.

 

I tried to delete every saved control LUA in my User folder. But when I started the game every control key where back to default why. Why can´t I just do it all from scratch and save my own and then fly and be happy.

Goes to show that ED needs to redesign the entire controller setup interface. Not intuitive at all...its always been one of my pet peeves with the game.

I am going through the same thinking process and can't seem to get much done in assigning my 3 CH controllers. Rudder pedals and brakes wont assign and assigning a button to the Fighertstick randomly reproduces itself on the Pro Throttle.

I agree, this whole process needs to be more user friendly. I am just a casual gamer and I am thinking that I need to be a mind reader to follow the instructions in the manual. Very frustrating.

Each aircraft has its own set of control assignments, some also have different controls for arcade mode and simulation.
