My 4 Thrustmaster MFDs don't keep stable control mappings


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I have now 4 Thrustmaster MFDs plugged to my computer through a USB hub.

When I launch DCS and open the control settings, all 4 MFDs are visible and I can bind them to plane switches.

In the DCS control settings, each MFD is displayed with an associated GUID (globally unique identifier).

I thought these identifiers were the actual MFD hardware identifier,  but I'm wrong, because the next time I started DCS, the same identifiers were used, but assigned to different MFDs, meaning I had to redo all my bindings.

Is there way to keep these identifiers and binding stable?

Try doubleckicking them in order to type a different name for each. Just the header of each column device

I have 3 renamed to mfd left, right and center and most of time they run flawlessly

thanks ! I will try what you suggest

 

 

I have also found this post about installing a "unified driver package" here. I'll try that if renaming the MFDs is not sufficient.
