Input Device profiles

[scotth6]

Hi,

 

I added to another thread regarding a problem I have had since I started using DCS World, and that is saved and loaded control profiles, and also the default control settings for any new aircraft. It seems that thread may have been unrelated, so I am starting another thread with the problems I am encountering.

 

I have an issue where whenever I start using an aircraft, the controls are duplicated across my HOTAS joystick and throttle and also my saitek rudder pedals. This means, for example, that pressing on the left rudder will also move my stick to the left, etc and many controls won't work, and are even unable to be changed in the control settings until allthe duplicate entries have been removed. So every time I map keys for an aircraft I need to delete everything but the keyboard and mouse commands and start from scratch with my HOTAS and rudder inputs. Needless to say this is very time consuming., although I suppose the benefit is that you can map things as realistically aspossible according tothe real world aircraft layout.

 

However, I have just now found that even loading a saved profile has the same issue. I had my inputs all worked out for the SU-27 when starting the Ultimate Argument campaign, and just because I started using VR I changed just two commands, changing the joystick hat switch from look up and look down to trim up and down commands for VR. I had these two profiles saved, yet when I just reverted using a monitor and loaded the profile for that, which I only saved yesterday, all the HOTAS and rudder commands have once again been duplicated.

 

Here is a screenshot to show what I am talking about. It seems that in this case, after loading a saved profile, the rudder throttle inputs have been duplicated by the rudder for some reason. Usually when starting new with an aircraft, the commands are duplicated across all three devices.

 

 

 

Actually, here are the triplicate controls after loading the profile a second time in the controls menu. I had the joystick column highlighted when I loaded the profile, so maybe this has something to do with why the joystick controls are now replicating the rudder and throttle inputs.
