Paddleswitch in latest version (AP disengage / G-limiter override)

[Schnarre Aggro]

Situation:

since the last update i cant get the paddleswitch to neither disengage the autopilot nor to override the G-limiter.

 

Question:

Does anyone else have this problem ?

[Shimmergloom667]

Nope, both functions working without issue for me

[launchedsquid]

nope, check your assignments and if they're right, test that the button actually works.

Check your key mapping.

Soooo ....

i think i need to clarify.

getting a little cocky here - please dont take it personally.

 

I probably have around 20-30 hours in the DCS Module "assigning buttons and setting up controls" ... i started DCS when it was Blachshark only and we had to do our controls new after every update.

that said ...

 

What i tried:

I pressed "button 4" (pinky lever on the Warthog stick) and nothing worked.

I checked controls - it was assigned

I switched to a different control (like another button) and then pressed "Button 4" which brought me back to the "AP disengage / Glimiter bla bla"

I thought - ok ... maybe some systems changed and i set up my plane "wrong", which wasnt the case.

I then assined a key (namely "x") to the funktion "AP disengage..." - It worked.

I thought - ok ... maybe there is a hardwareproblem with my Warthog.

I then checked my Hardwaresettings under windows - evry button (including Button4) worked.

I calibrated it and checked DCS again.

In the "controls" the "button 4" is recognised - but not in the Fa18 ingame cockpit.

I repaired DCS.

I tried again - no difference.

I read up on some post i found on the www ...

I checked all my auxiliary programs like Discord, SRS, Ts3 etc etc with which i maybe have "Button 4" mapped to some function - clear

I updated my warthog firmware

I checked again - still same Problem

the "button4" is recognised in the controls, i can assign it to a function by pressing it, works under windows, BUT NOT in the actual ingame cockpit

 

so ... now that u guys know ... im up for further suggestions ;)

(In the meantime i use a different button as a workaround which doesnt make me very happy)

[Schnarre Aggro]

oh, i forgot ... i tried as well to clear the whole Joystick category and remaped every button - no difference

I recently had a similar problem, turned out that it was a Mod that enlarged the messages font size ... the Mod was an edit of a DCS file and it worked fine, but a recent DCS update changed that file considerably and thus when I applied the Mod, was in fact putting an obsolete file back into DCS.

 

So, make sure to repeat your test but with all Mods disabled.

[Schnarre Aggro]

im running no mods afaik

heres a short video i just recorded to show the problem

Yep, I have the same problem. Can't override g limit with the paddle switch. This was after the latest patch. I too have checked my mapping. First thing I did.

I found that the mapping in UI Layer takes higher priority. Might worth have a look there.

do u mean when im in the UI , then go to controls and THEN assign the button ?

 

(lets first see if the update changed stuff ;) )

There's a category called "UI Layer" in the drop down menu when you are in the key binding screen. Same drop down menu where you select the module for which you are doing key bindings for. The UI Layer category contains mostly VR related things, such as zooms and mouse click emulation. This take precedence over your module key bindings, which might be the problem.

awesome man that was it ....

 

I had a rift s from a friend for two weeks and assigned "VR zoom" on it.

 

YOUR ADVISE WAS GOLD !!!

 

works like a charm now :thumbup:

Good that it helped :)
