C1Rob Posted November 21, 2020 Posted November 21, 2020 Hi everyone. I just recently started learning DCS again (had attempted before but was distracted by other things at the time). Im starting with the KA-50 but this problem im having is ruining the fun as I cant fly with it :( I run the steam version of DCS. The hardware im using: -X55 Throttle and VKB Gladiator NXT. (I just got the gladiator today, before today i used the X55 stick and had the same problem). -Delan clip + PSEYE cam (Track IR alternative using opentrack software). The problem: When i load the KA-50 (any mission, training, etc) only the axis of my hardware are recognized and not the buttons/hats/switches/dials. So only the pitch/jaw/rudder and collective axis are recognized and it affects both the throttle and the stick. What have i tried: -Check if "Game Flight Mode" is checked or not in the Options>Gameplay tab. This is not checked. -Check if the controls are bound in the right profile (game / sim). I have bound everything i need in the sim profile. I have also tried to bind the controls in both profiles just to be sure. This didnt fix the problem. -Cleared all bind and rebind. This has been done multiple times with no effect. -Deleted user created bind profiles. This had no effect. -Replug the controllers when the flight is started. This had no effect. -I always make sure the controllers are plugged in before i launch DCS. -There are no other input devices connected to the computer (besides a keyboard and mouse). -I run the game in full screen and make sure not to alt tab. -Run the game without the track ir on. This had no effect. I have had it working 2 of the 15+ times i have tried to use the KA-50. There has been no clue on why it worked those times. I didnt do anything different, just launched the sim as usual. I have tried other modules (the Mirage IIC and Harrier) and in both of those the buttons etc work as they should. What could this problem be and how could i fix it? I really want to learn this helicopter.... Thank you in advance!

You were simply flying in arcade mode. Try the following: Ensure "Game flight mode" and "Game avionics mode" are off. Ensure you play non-arcade missions (no "arcade" word in the title). ---
C1Rob Posted November 22, 2020 Author Posted November 22, 2020 Thank you! I just checked and i think the problem might have been the game avionics mode as after deselecting it everything now seems to work. This is really strange though as I had not changed that setting and it did work before.... I had the issue both doing the training missions (cold and dark startup etc) but also doing the cold and dark instant action mission. Doesnt matter anymore. I can now enjoy the blackshark! Thank you again!
