Some key combos don't work

[Mar]

I have found (edit:) five key combinations that are ignored by the game.

 

Lctrl+Lshift X

Lctrl+Lshift R

Lctrl+Lshift+Lalt S

Lwin X

Lwin G

 

do not work in my DCS open beta.

 

I don't have any other programs running that would intercept those combos. The exception is windows itself which uses the Lwin combos, but I'd have thought DCS would take precedence.

 

Can anyone else use these? Am I missing something?

in which module (aircraft)?

I was also encountering this issue with the F-18C in combination with TARGET and Voice Attack.

Had to change the bindings also Ctrl+X and Ctrl+Lalt+X caused problems they sometimes recognized like the same key.

 

Forcing me to rebind multiple controls just to fix issue pretty annoying and lot of work.

But after you rebind it to a different key it should work like in my case.

All of them.

These combos do work in other games I play. In the controls menu in DCS, pressing these combos will jump to what they're assigned to. But they do nothing in the game.

 

Rebinding is not an option, I have too much else bound already.

Not entirely the same problem (and no Target (but Foxy) and no voice attack).

Doesn't work with keyboard either.

Can anyone just quickly try binding these to something to see if they work for you?

Tip: If you have saved SnapViews in the F/A-18, rename (or delete) the SnapViews.lua file in C:\Users\xxxxx\Saved Games\DCS.DCS_World_Open_Beta\Config\View

Thanks tho.

I managed to put together a temporary workaround after four hours of screwing with it.

 

Using AutoHotkey, I can translate Lcontrol+Lshift+Lalt S to Rctrl+Rshift+Ralt S (this does work in the game), and so on, with this script:

 

edit: better version

; Lctrl+Lshift+Lalt S
<^<+<!s::
   Send {blind}{lctrl up}{lshift up}{lalt up}{rctrl down}{rshift down}{ralt down}{s down}
   KeyWait s
   Send {s up}{rctrl up}{rshift up}{ralt up}
   if (getkeystate("lctrl","P"))
   {
       Send {lctrl down}
   }
   if (getkeystate("lshift","P"))
   {
       Send {lshift down}
   }
   if (getkeystate("lalt","P"))
   {
       Send {lalt down}
   }
return

; Lctrl+Lshift X
<^<+x::
   Send {blind}{lctrl up}{lshift up}{rctrl down}{rshift down}{x down}
   KeyWait x
   Send {x up}
   Send {rctrl up}{rshift up}
   if (getkeystate("lctrl","P"))
   {
       Send {lctrl down}
   }
   if (getkeystate("lshift","P"))
   {
       Send {lshift down}
   }
return

; Lctrl+Lshift R
<^<+r::
   Send {blind}{lctrl up}{lshift up}{rctrl down}{rshift down}{r down}
   KeyWait r
   Send {r up}{rctrl up}{rshift up}
   if (getkeystate("lctrl","P"))
   {
       Send {lctrl down}
   }
   if (getkeystate("lshift","P"))
   {
       Send {lshift down}
   }
return

But I still have yet to hear whether or not this problem only affects me.
