Can't assign mouse buttons, DCS won't accept

[Beirut]

Hello,

 

I have a few buttons on my mouse that I would like to assign but the game says I'm not allowed. Is there a work around for this? This is also the case for the paddles on the back of my TWCS throttle.

 

Thanks.

U should be able to change way the buttons do on the mouse software side as opposed to the dcs side.  Assign a keystroke to the mouse button in the mouse software and then assign that keystroke to whatever command in dcs 

same with the twcs hotas paddles. 
I don’t have a twcs but it has configuration software that u can use to do the same thing with it.  

try that.

I'll give it a shot. Thank you. 

 

Actually, the mouse did work for the A-10  I think, but not the Harrier, which I fly more. And the paddles on the TWCS didn't work on anything, but the analog joystick on the throttle did work on the A-10 as well.

The mouse works for me as a mouse and the button as left click but ive never tried to map it as an actual button. I know it works for the scroll wheel directions and button cuz I use it for ptt.  The button is button32 and each direction is 33 and 34.
