Training mission issue with X52 HOTAS

[Wolf 37]

While flying training missions in the A 10-C I lose all control of the flight control stick after the game has put my plane on auto pilot. When control is turned back over to me the only way I can control my plane is with the trim control, just enough to get it back into auto pilot myself, but once I come out of auto pilot, I again have no control.  

I am awaiting a Virpil Warbird base for my Warthog stick, I am hoping that the issue is the X52 HOTAS controller itself. Any thoughts on the matter will be greatly appreciated.

Does it work outside of training missions? Check the controls menu - maybe in training there is A-10C Sim controls or A-10C Game used instead of your usual setting.

I have experienced this same thing. And from what I gathered, it was only when I tried to go back and do some of the older and original training missions. I have loaded into some old TMis and not been able to use throttle, control surfaces, etc.. But it varies through some of the older missions. Never could figure it out, only way I got it working. I loaded the file to ME and removed the aircraft completely then re-added.

Apologies Draconus and rwbishUP, this says that I have not read this reply to my post but I did read your reply and had thought I had replied to to your reply. I am only going through it again because I found the the answer to the original problem, but I mucked something else up and am looking to see if someone knows how I can unmuck it.

 

The original issue had to do with the different profile for the plane modules...for example, right now if I fly the A-10C II Real.diff.lua profile I can use the F2 button to step outside the plane and use the mouse to move freely around 360*. But if I fly the A-10C Real.diff.lua, I don't get the movement outside the cockpit with the mouse, and if I fly the SU-25 I have NO controls at all, not even the ESC button works, I have to use Ctrl+Alt+Del to get out of DCS.

 

I know some people are really good at this stuff and would say, well just take this .lua file and put it here, and this one to here and write this file here and there.

 

That's all fine and dandy, but I don't understand that stuff.

 

You know of any help to add the controls back to the defaults? And pushing the "Return Defaults" isn't working.

Well, you can go to ..\saved games\dcs\config\input folder and remove everything to some backup folder somewhere else if you understand this stuff.

If you run the DCS then you will have all modules in default controls state.
