Changing Mirage controls in DCS Main Menu leads to black screen

Recommended Posts

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?

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

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.

 

Thanks :thumbup:
