Inverted Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 For some reason the weapon release control has stopped working in the Mi-8 for me. In the controls setup that line is ‘highlighted’ as per screenshot, not sure why as none of the other controls are and they work fine. I can bind the control to my joystick but neither the joystick or keyboard button ( space bar ) will activate the weapons. Have flown the Mi-8 quite a bit so am pretty confident I have the heli setup during the missions correctly to be ready to fire weapons. Eg, arm switch on and red lights above weapon ammo counter is on/lit. DCS version 2.5.4.26552
Lixma 06 Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 I think the usual solution is to go into your Config/Input folder, delete the Mi-8 folder, and let DCS rebuild a new default control set. Hardly ideal, but if you do try this make sure you back-up the folder first.

Inverted Posted February 22, 2019 Author Posted February 22, 2019 Update: Removed any directories* that related to control inputs, that broke DCS in that no mi-8 specific controls were show in the controls config page. So I put the folders back in and then the fire button started working again. Weird, but at least it works now.
