lesthegrngo Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 Hi all, I have been adding controls to my sim rig over the last few days, and today when testing it out after adding a fourth Bodnar BBI64 board, apart from seeing the assignments of some the other bodnar boards move to another instance, I now also find that while the HOTAS throttle is being recognised, the joystick is not. The Saitek rudder pedals are OK too. The control screen recognises that there is a Thrustmaster Joystick connected, I can assign the roll and pitch to the respective joystick X and Y axes by moving the joystick, but once you start flying the controls don't work. The controllers being used in game (and recognised by the control setup screen are 4 64 button BBI Bodnar boards Saitek Rudder pedals Thrustmaster HOTAS Throttle Thrustmaster Warthog joystick Logitech USB wireless bluetooth Keyboard with touchpad function Wired USB Dell mouse I have been modifying the dafault.lua file to report 2 position toggle switches, however the joystick.lua file is the untouched original that was working fine yesterday. Anyone got any ideas? Cheers Les

Anyone got any ideas? Cheers Les Anytime you add or modify a peripheral device, DCS tends to auto-populate the new device with jibberish bindings, including axis inputs. I would double check the axis mappings in DCS setting and make sure that nothing else but the Warthog joystick is mapped for pitch and roll. If the problem still persists then disable Target if you are using it and see what happens. PC: 5800X3D/4090, 11700K/3090, 9900K/2080Ti.

lesthegrngo Posted June 28, 2020 Author Posted June 28, 2020 Thanks Supmua I had various goes at making sure the mapping was OK, plus did a load of other stuff like disconnecting bodnar boards and basic stuff including restarting the PC, disconnect and reconnect etc. In the end I went for a DCS Install repair, which fixed it, but I'll have to redo a load of the mapping etc in due course. It actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be using the install repair process, I expected a lot more collateral issues, but stuff like DCS Bios continues to work fine after Thanks for looking though!
