Hello. I have purchased the f18 and have flown the first 2 tutorials. Now when I try and fly the 3rd I have no stick at all. The mouse is working but no HOTAS. Wonderful game and I'm willing to work through it but I need your help. When I calibrate with windows everything works fine. Also I downloaded the newest drivers so I don't think thats the issue. I tested the stick on another game and it seems to work fine. There was an update I think dont know if thats part of the problem. Thanks!

Updates sadly occasionally mess with control bindings . Look up "axis commands" in the control setup menu and check the bindings . If DCS recognises the Hotas it will show in the column header . Then remake the bindings as necessary , and delete any superflous bindings on the horizontal rows .

You may have to re-bind the switches as well in the "general" menu .

In Game

 

Ok I manually set the axis commands and the game is detecting the stick and thruster. However when I select free flight and start the game no stick or thruster working. Any suggestions?

Look in the controls menu . Is"f-18 sim" showing on the top left ? Then check "axis commands" . Make your bindings if they are not there . Be sure only one binding per horizontal line . Click "OK" when done to save everything . If you click the "X" no save .

Ok checked

 

Checked to make sure f18 sim was in the upper corner and it was. Joystick for the new bindings and nothin else on the horizontal. Game starts and no response at all just mouse and keyboard. Is there a way I can contact customer support or is that you LOL? Thanks smokey for your help.

stick and thruster are there. :D Maybe you have the settings in general on "game" on. Try the settings on the other "F-18 game". If it works you must set things in the general section to get "F-18 SIM'. Good luck. It take some time to understand all of the sim. :D

Hmmm... at this point i would try a repair of DCS . This very handy and free utility will make that easy to do .

If that doesn't' work , i would consider a re-install of DCS , as that will give you the default binds again .

Don't calibrate the hotas with windows, it screws it up with DCS. I don't know why, but everyone who has issues has done that very thing. Go back into the calibration window and click the default restore or what ever that button is that un-does the calibration. If you need to calibrate, use the TM official calibration software.
