Key assignments Not being saved correctly

[TJTAS]

Just spent an hour or more assigning keys, buttons and axis for 5 different aircraft, saving the profile periodically. Now when I try and load the profile I'm getting erratic results. None of my keys seem to have saved and the Axis seem to change when I load it. For example I had on the SU-25 the Shkval slew set to my Hotas X and Y axis and had tuned them. When I first load the profile they are still right but the keys have all disappeared. When I tried to reload the profile it changed to Hotas x and Y to Flight control.

I think I see what the problem is. It has only saved the settings for the last aircraft I was editing. Is this a new paradigm for control assignment?. If so it is a really bad idea. In DSCW (pre 1.5) you could save all of your settings to a single file (which covered every aircraft). Unless this is a bug it is now only saving a single aircraft to the .lua file when you save.

oh really? thats crap - I had the same problem yesterday. Looks like we have to save one for each a/c.

I went through that too, spent 1/2 day getting screwed by trying to set control settings... then found out you have to do a complete save with each aircraft.. what a nightmare... :joystick:

I believe this has always been the case. Or at least this appears to be typical for Profiles.

I learned this the hard way a couple years ago. It is allot of work creating profiles so it's best to get it right the first time (editing profiles and re-saving comes natural after you've lost everything a few times !).

 

You must first Clear each column (NOT including the Keyboard controls column) for each Aircraft/Mod. Best to Save as soon as each is cleared.

You must Save Each Column/Controller individually for each Aircraft/Mod.

I save from the ALL category as well as the Axis category for each of the above.

 

So for each Aircraft/Mod, you must save a TrackIR (Axis), Rudder Pedals (Axis), HOTAS Throttle (Axis and ALL) and HOTAS Stick (Axis and All). That is allot of files to save ... but that's what you must do.

 

I personally save ALL my individual Aircraft/Mod controller settings/profiles in a Folder on a separate drive. I use the same TIR profile for All Mods and therefore I can Import the same file for each (I just copy that profile into each Aircraft/Mod's folder).

Here is an example of my Saved Profiles.

 

 

 

I hope this can help someone.
