Noob question, dual controllers, buttons don't work in flight.

[Mr Whippy]

OK so I have a cheapo Logitech Attack 3 and my Logitech G25 plugged into the PC.

 

Joystick works fine without the G25.

 

But if I keep the G25 plugged in I can use the brake/throttle on combined axis for the rudder, I also have loads of other buttons on the G25 gear box thingy too.

 

This config also works fine in Falcon BMS.

 

 

 

 

But in DCS, even after clearing all duplicate entries for both controllers (why does it do this, and/or not highlight conflicts?), the joystick buttons just don't seem to want to work in-game, neither for the G25 or the Attack 3.

In the controls setup screen they work fine.

 

So all axis work fine, but no buttons work.

 

 

 

Am I missing something really obvious?

 

DCS sees both controllers, and sees them individually in the controls screen. Everything 'looks' right there, but in game no go on buttons?!

 

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

Without further details, my first guess is that you are programming your controls for either sim or game mode and then flying in the other mode.

 

If you select game avionics, then your controls will be from game mode.

Just to clarify a few points.

 

I'm using the SU27 in FC3.

 

If I load up with just the joystick plugged in, then all is great.

 

If I load up with both plugged in, then the controls seem double entered for both controllers, so I need to tidy them up lots (is this a sign of a bug?)

 

Both controllers work fine in the menus.

 

But then in flight neither work ok.

 

 

All modes that I could find were set to simulation/realistic or equivalents.

 

 

Ie, loading up instant action, choosing SU27, and diving straight in.

 

 

Even going into edit controls in-game, they set up and look fine, buttons work etc. Then back into the game and no buttons work.

 

 

Hmmmm
