X52 Joy_button 6 not seen by DCS World

[BrzI]

When I go into the control panel and can see that the button is working. It also works in P3D.

 

 

But when I want to assign it DCSW doe snot recognize the button press.

 

 

This used to work until I ran the latest update today !?

Buttons 1 and 6 are the two-stage trigger, right?

 

You can always assign a button by selecting it from the drop down list without auto detect. Alternatively you can squeeze the trigger so button 1 is pressed, then open the dialog, then finish squeezing the trigger so the next event it sees is Button06 Down.

No..those are 1 and 15...I tried assigning it without detection but it is still not recognised in the sim....

No. 6 is the pinkie.

 

 

You have to assign it in the programmer before it will work in DCS.

 

 

Open profile editor, switch to grid view. Delete the Mode 1 + Pinkie, Mode 2 + Pinkie, Mode 3 + Pinkie. Save the profile with a name and close. Enable the saved profile for DCS.

Ah yes, if you're using the SST software it won't expose certain buttons if they are the shifts for the modes. While the software can do up to 6 modes, most of the time a single mode is most usable.

+1 Holbeach. This is what I did to get the pinkie working.

I never use profiles. It should detect the button press. The latest update messed it up....

 

 

But...I opened the profiler and deleted all mode + pinkie. Gave it a profile name. Now it works - even when the profile is not active...go figure....

 

 

Probably related to the fact that I have not used Logitech drivers until a few days ago. I always used the default MS drivers...

 

 

Thanks Holbeach.
