Changing Mirage controls in DCS Main Menu leads to black screen

[Kappi]

Hello guys,

 

I´m posting this into the M2000 section since it only happens when I change the controls of the Mirage in the DCS Main Menu, changing the controls of other modules doesn´t lead to that error.

 

As soon as I change anything in the Mirage controls and confirm that by pressing OK, I get a black screen, still can hear the main menu theme and nothing happens. I need to Alt+Tab out of the game and close it via Windows.:(

 

The strange thing is that this only occurs in the main menu. As soon as I fly the Mirage and open the control settings via ESC, I can change everything without any errors or crashs.

 

Any suggestions what´s the reason for this?

I have this same problem, Kappi. And it has nothing to do with the latest update, since it started before.

I had this problem with the AV-8 when changing axis assignments. I was able to get it work when I was in the aircraft rather than the main menu. Barao you might want to try it there.

Made all changes while in cockpit.

I've had this before with other aircraft, just start a game and redo them on the runway. It's always worked for me.

TL;DR:

Removing "Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\M-2000C", letting DCS re-create a new profile for the M-2000C and re-inputing your key assignments may work.

 

Detail:

I suspect it's due to changes in or duplicates of default key assignments but can't be certain.

 

Last month I checked my own modules and only 2 (the Harrier and Viggen) caused a black screen if control assignments were edited via the GUI option 'cog'.

 

When I scrolled through the Harrier key assignments, some lines were highlighted in 'red'

 

Since I allowed DCS to rebuild "Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\AV8BNA" the problem is fixed and Harrier key assignments can be edited via the GUI 'cog' without causing a ''black screen' lockup on exiting the settings page.

 

I've just done the same for the Viggen input folder and rebuilding my key assignments for that module also fixed it. YMMV
