Dissabling auto axis/button assignments and ignoring some controllers.

Dissabling auto axis/button assignments and ignoring some controllers.

 

I would very much like, to be able to stop DCS world, from autoassigning axis'ses and buttons to my USB controllers.

I would also like to know, if it is possible to tell DCS to ignore certain USB controllers.

 

I'm using Windows 8.1

 

To get just a little HOTAS joy, as a Lefty (And proud of It! ;-))

(My right hand motor skills are so horrible, that I would spend most of my time, as a black spot on the ground.) I use a CH Flightstick Pro and have added a Saitek Pro Flight Throttle Quadrant.

 

 

I have had some trouble getting them to play together and troubleshooting, has been a real Pain in the a..!

 

Turns out that they cooperate, when the Saitek is on one of the front USB3 ports.

 

I was spending way to much time, deleting unwanted controller settings again and again.

 

Sometimes pressing OK, would give a blue screen and DCS World would freeze. Then had to use the Joblist to kill DCS.

When starting DCS again, all the default bindings, are there again. BLAH!

 

At one point I had it working, but then it stopped again and I had no clue as to why. That and crashing plane after plane, got me more and more frustrated.

 

Sometimes I don't even have to leave DCS World, before the bindings are back. Clicking OK, chose a module, fly around, exit module and open settings. Hey Presto! Some of the unwanted bindings are back.

 

The Joystick problem was:

DCS World see both the CH and the Saitek. There is a pane for both of them. The trouble was the X Y and Z axis'ses, where not seperated correctly in DCS world.

When I moved a throttle lever on the Saitek and apparently woke it up, it interfered with the axis'ses on the CH. If I didn't touch the Saitek, the CH would work normally.

 

When I looked at the virtual stick, it moved around with the throttle inputs.

 

 

As a workaround, I intended to try to use vJoy with UJR, but without the possibility, to ignore the real controllers, it would be pointless.

 

I will still use vJoy and UJR, as this makes it possible to use my G27 Clutch and Speeder pedals as rudder. I'm thinking about combining all 3, as one controller. Less panes to juggle with.

 

Happy simming from Denmark.

No.

 

You can still clear the entries for any controller in Options>Controls.

The best solution is to get a USB hub with switches. That way you can turn off any devices you don't want used by DCS or any other game rather, and to ensure whatever device order you want.

I do this for my touchscreen and trim wheel, since they are not always used.
