assign buttons, many aircrafts

[Lenux]

I updated the firmware on the Virpil throttle and all the assigned buttons, axis, are gone for the throttle

I'll have to start over again with all the aircrafts

Is there a way to assign some buttons which I use the same, for every aircraft, with a single setting ?. I have a lot of aircrafts, it will take a lot of time

For example, throttle, F1, F2, F3, F5, air brake ON / Off. Those are for all the aircrafts

Thank you

Probably what happened is that Windows see the updated throttle as a new device and so assigned to it a new usb ID. You can rename the old hotas.diff.lua file at /saved games/dcs/control/input/aircraft, so that the filename uses the new ID, and then you will have your old bindings back.

Hello,

 

For example, this image is from the Joystick folder of one of my DCS planes (the C-101):

 

 

When I reinstalled Windows on November 2019, the USB ID for my Hotas changed, and that changes the name DCS gives to the file where it stores your bindings.

 

The old file, from February 2019, is still there but DCS ignores it and tries to use the new file, that is created automatically by DCS when I bind anything new on that plane.

 

To fix, I have two choices:

 

1) I rename the old file, so that it haves the same name as the new file.

 

2) Copy/paste the contents of the old file onto the new, using Notepad++

 

Give it a try :thumbup:

I'll be back home in 20 minutes

I have a backup ( 10 days ago ) of the whole INPUT folder, from Saved Games

Would that help if I'd replace the whole folder ?

It isnt a matter of replacing the whole folder .. most likely you still have the old diff.lua on your current folder ... the problem is that DCS doesnt look into the old file. You need to either rename the old file to look like the new, or copy/paste the content.

Just out of curiosity : what does the option mean " GENERAL" under the option - settings - controls ?
