HOTAS Binds not corrisponding in game

[noisy_lightning]

So I recently got FC3, I have had no issues binding HOTAS (X55) buttons in the other aircraft but for some reason on the F15 they just dont want to play ball.

 

I should start that the only thing I have bound outside of the game is the air brake as its easier to make a macro to bind that to my specific air brake button. Everything else is bound in game.

 

Well, the main one that just doesnt play is the Cannon, I have it bound to Trigger 1 on my stick which, however when I press this it cycles through modes, I double checked the bindings and there is no accident double double binding and so far have been unable to get around it. Equally, the trim hat doesnt seem nearly as responsive as the other aircraft of modules I have, it works but very very slowly!

 

Any help would be appreciated!

Have you made certain there are no duplicate key bindings in F-15?

Next I'd verify that the keys are properly mapped using the Smart Technology software test page.

I think there is a fire delay of a couple of seconds when the trigger is pulled.

I`m having the same issue,went through and cleared everything from the F-15C bindings and only put in flight control and weapons and it still did it..the only way i`ve found to get round it is to do a SMART profile and program in the stick buttons as the default key presses..not really ideal.

The bind named Cannon changes you to air to air guns mode, the bind named weapon fire fires the cannon. This may be your problem

Great aside from binding the trigger to Gear does exactly the same thing and it didn`t 2 weeks ago,i`ll try a re-install..DCS has a habit of messing up on me if i do too many patches on it.

All my bindings were messed up recently for both A-10C and Su-27. I do own F-15 and will check that as I have the same hotas - X55 Rhino.

I noticed that my saved profile was not present and I re-created it (in game) and saved new file. Then I wanted to be smart and clicked Make HTML thinking its going to help me saving my controls further. It seems though this was what messed it all up. I wasn't able to map buttons permanently (were deleted after DCS restart) and also had problems with wrong actions / wrong buttons despite Controls in menu saying differently. Well, as son as I deleted HTML files and remapped my HOTAS it is all in good shape.

 

As said, I will see if I can get F-15 to do the same and will report back....

Just a quick update, I did check F-15 and all seems to work as advertised. C to enable gun, squeeze trigger to fire it off.
