slow key/button assignment 1.5.4

[swiss_lipo]

Hello,

 

Since version 1.5.4 the key/button/axis assignment interface has been updated (similar to the 2.0 alpha I think).

 

Now I am having issues when trying to assign new keys/buttons (or redo a whole profile).

 

The thing is when I try to press the key or the trigger on my stick to assign the key, it is not recorded immediately. I have to press it several times (sometimes 20 or so) until it is recorded so I can go to the next one.

 

I have checked my keyboard and Hotas (X52 pro) and they both work fine, including in flight. The issue only happens in the key assignment interface.

 

I am not sure if my bug report is actually clear enough but any comment or help is welcome.

 

Thanks.

I also have this issue on the Warthog. Both for buttons and axis. It's infuriating really as it takes forever to assign controls.

[dotChuckles]

Have this issue too, we've noticed it on the warthog, x-55 and x52.

[Devrim]

Same here! Though, it's 4~5 times for me, not 20. :)

The controller page is really too lazy.

So it's a bug... I thought I had faulty switches in my cockpit

TM warthog same....

I waited the latest update to see if things would improve. But I still had the same issue when trying to configure my inputs for the F-5E (which is just marvelous, for the records).

 

So I found a way to make things easier, here is the procedure:

 

1. assign only one input (or a couple as you prefer)

2. save your profile

3. exit DCS

4. run DCS right away (no pc reboot)

5. go to the controls menu and things should go easier

 

The above procedure did work for me for the F-5E and the Hawk.

 

I hope this may help some of you, best regards.

I tried it and it does not help much, not to mention re-launching the game a few times to assign control hardly makes it more convenient. I also found that turning off the VR option helps a little, but it's still a PITA.

Having the same issue on the warthog (occurred on both Mirage and F15C).

Having the same issue with the Warthog for both buttons and axis. It also occurs for axis with my MFG Crosswind v2 (latest firmware) pedals. If memory serves me right this started with one of the latest 1.5.3 updates but if anything it has gotten worse in 1.5.4. And yes - sometimes it can take more than 10-15 attempts for the input to be registred.

 

Modules I have had the problem in so far (haven't tried all yet):

 

F-5E

M-2000C

Gazelle

C-101

MiG 21bis

MiG 15bis

Uh-1

Today, I couldn't assign right and left toe brakes of my Saitek rudder pedal for F-15C.

 

I moved (press and depress) pedals for a few minutes, but DCS didn't see them. I had to enter manually them.

I have had this problem for a couple of weeks. I thought my Warthog was going bad. I have re-installed both Windows 10 and DCS World. I was losing my mind over this issue. Has this been reported?

Having this problem in latest 1.5.5 with |TM Warthog!:mad:

[352ndDeacon]

Same problem with my X52 and Saitek rudder pedals.

[gospadin]

wierd. It finally works well for me in all builds within the last month, after being a huge issue ~3 months ago.

[Rotorhead]

Last time I checked (while assigning controls to my new Spitfire), it was bugged for me too in the latest 1.5.5. First, I was afraid there's something wrong with my joystick!

 

However, it seems that when I pause my mission and go to the controls settings from there (as opposed to doing this from main menu screen), everything works as it should. Can someone confirm this?

[Eldur]

I'm having this for months now, but I never bothered to do a bug report. I'm glad I'm not the only one. It's really a pain in the plot to assign some buttons at the moment as this hasn't been fixed yet

 

Should be #1 priority IMHO

 

I'll try doing that from within a mission, I think I had better luck there as well, so the issue could be related to the general options menu

 

Edit: Yes, I had no problems mapping buttons from within a mission

I have the same problem. First picked it up in NTTR, now has come over to 1.5.6. I use a Logitech 3D Pro FFB

[Logan865]

Same problem here. Has been doing this for a long time. X56 here

[ac5]

Still not fixed, I see.

I've encountered this problem numerous times too.

Pretty sure, that I initially had the problem when I was already in-plane, and went to adjust controls trough the 'pause' menu. But then the other week, I had the problem when not being in-plane, and had to be in-plane to actually get the game to recognize the mappings.

 

So for a while now, I havent had the problem when I map when being in-plane / pause menu.

I have trouble assigning my x55. Recently purchased the Mig 21 and noticed that in the middle of a mission, if I try and assign/re assign buttons, no assignment is possible. Also when quitting out of the key assignment window I get a game CTD?

 

Only just started happening with the Mig 21?

 

Edit. Happening in 1.5.6.
