Warthog button not recognised in Alpha (works in beta)

[epoch]

Hi

 

I use my Warthog Throttle mouse ball button (JOY_BTN1) for as my cage/uncage button on the AV-8B.

 

It's working fine in beta. But in alpha the button press is not detected at all. Everything else maps fine, except that one button.

 

Can anyone advise what could be the issue here?

 

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Could someone test this perhaps, please? Just to see if it's a problem my end.

 

Thanks!

Works fine for me.

Works fine for me.

 

Oh, right. So just to confirm, in DCS 2.2 (alpha) pushing the button I've highlighted in green is working for you, for any module?

 

[Deezle]

I don't use that button for anything normally, but yes I did map it to cage/uncage for the AV8B in 2.2 and it works fine.

 

 

Perhaps manually map it to BTN1 and see if it works.

Ok I'll use an alternative for now then. So strange that it's just this button, and just in 2.2. I've raised a ticket so see if ED can provide some insight.

 

I appreciate you taking the time to test. Thank you.

I've had the same issue with the red pinky button on the throttle.

I logged a ticket last night, and subsequently received a reply that has helped me fix the issue.

 

Deleted (actually, moved out of the folder) the input mappings in my %userprofile%\Saved Games\DCS.openalpha\Config\Input

 

Went into settings and attempted to map the JOY_BTN1 to a function on the AV-8B ... it was detected fine.

 

I could have then set up all my controls again, but instead I just imported the settings I copied out of the folder previously. Obviously it overwrote the JOY_BTN1 I just mapped, but I simply re-mapped it again and it was still detected correctly.

 

johnv2pt0 - you might want to try that with your pinky switch.

That did it, thanks. I could have sworn I already did that, but I guess not. Clear skies ~
