Hardware Inputs Switch Off In 1.5.4

[flyco]

I use a variety of input controllers (TMWarthog, BU386X, Brydling input etc), all hardwired to switches, which have operated in DCS 1.xx and 2.xx for several years.

 

In 1.5.4 OpenBeta after a period of from 5 to 45 minutes of normal operation, many of the two position switches go simultaneously to OFF in the game (and on the screen) (obviously the hard switches are unchanged). On the latest incident I lost Battery, AC Gen, CDU, EGI, Fuel Pumps, TGP, CICU, JTRS, but not SAS, IFFCC, three-position AHDU switches, and Inverter. After a further 2-5 minutes the game crashed, making a full inventory of what switched off and what didn't impossible.

 

The various switches come from different input controllers so it is not a specific controller glitch.

 

I have included relevant files from my Saved Games Folder, converted to .txt files.

 

I am also experiencing the Track IR problems already reported by various users.

Hi Flyco,

 

Did you get any feedback on this issue? I am getting the same issue with a Teensy board joystick controller. I think it is similar to some of your inputs.

It worked perfect before the upgrade to 1.5.4 and now I get these random pulses that switch off the systems that I have mapped to my Teensy joystick. As you say, it can be 5 minutes into the game or after a full hour.

There is a separate thread discussing this, and providing a possible cause.

 

It seems at first look to be a loose connection in one of your controllers that is causing it to be connected multiple times. It is related to the hot-plugging facility recently introduced, and appears therefore to be a hardware issue.
