Tm16000 hotas and the eternal binding errors

[TarantulaHawk]

Okay first of all, I apologize if this is not in the right section. I have had problems ever since I downloaded DCS with hotas bindings. I have a thrustmaster TM16000 throttle, joystick and rudder combo. Recently purchased a USB hub for my computer so that I could put everything and its own 3.0 USB port because someone on forums told me that was my problem. Loaded the USB hub couple days ago. Went in this morning to my F5E and loaded the DCS f-5e profiles joystick and throttle. Not surprised to find most of the buttons were not mapped after loading, so I started on my bindings and I map the Rudders to my TM 16000 routers only to find that they were still active on my throttle. So I decided to take off anyway and maybe get wheels up for 2 minutes, when I found that my throttles would not work. So I went back to controls to find that the throttles are mapped in DCS, but will not work in the cockpit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been struggling for months with these control issues.

Are you making your bindings in "sim" mode ? "Game" mode bindings are causing a lot of problems . Are you clearing all columns of default bindings ? Check the "axis commands" section as well for default bindings .

1st. uninstall target software and unplug all three. go to cmd and run as admin. type chkdsk c: /f and hit enter. it wil say it can't because the drive is being used and would you like the disc to be checked at next start up. choose yes. do this for all your drives. no need to dismount just let it check everything at start up. the defrag all the drives. then make sure you have the latest drivers not the target software just the drivers found at same place you get the target software and load drivers. thenturn comp off and plug everything in. if you use them all separate you need the switch that came with your hotas. if you only use as flight controls then plug rudders into throttle and let windows find them. you might need to use device manager to make sure they install. they should show up in devices and printerswhere you can calibrate. then run DCS and go to controls and set everything for each aircraft. you can do this as you go. everytime you fly a new aircraft. make sure before you set anything highlite the colume for joy stick and click clear sectionand do this in the all category and axis and probably the hotas category also then do the same for the throttle. NOTE: USE THE SIM NOT GAME once you have everything mapped choose save profile as. but save it to a file you creat on your desk top not in saved games and keep it simple. like UH-1H_SETS.diff and just make sure to do this for each aircraft then all you need to do is load you controls each time you fly and they won't be changed every time you get an update. you can use your copy's in all of you versions of dcs. once you get them all the way you like them you can back that file up and put it somewhere on a disc so you always have them. kind of a pain but the saved games option the manual recamends will have you redoing this and by doing it this way you will have one file per plane instead of the two that gets saved in the saved games. one for stick and one for throttle. trust me I've spent months like you. a couple more steps but less head aches. hope this helps now start having fun that's what your here for.

Run a repair first and try it again i had some button issues also couple of weeks ago but only with the f5. Dcs repair fixed my problem.
