fixed 2.7 Open Beta P51 controller mappings are jacked up.

[Major_Mayhem]

2.7 Open Beta P51d and TF51d Realistic controller mappings are jacked up.

Right off I have warm and cold air intake axis mapped to my CH throttle quadrant. They show up in mapping and appear to work in mapping however since 2.7 they don't actually work or control the air intakes same problem with mapping the canopy button neither the Keyboard combo or the joystick button that I have mapped to Canopy ... they simply do not work even though they show up as working in the control settings.


I think 2.7 broke a lot of stuff and It's obviously that 2.7 is not ready for prime time yet.

Still Broke AF but ED has no problem moving on to two dozen other POS mods they are never going to finish!

The canopy controls issue has been reported internally.
I'm now testing the intake controls.

I have the same problem.

Seems like a common theme with the P-51 and controls mapped to a HOTAS, I got feed up and went back to the "Other" Sim to fly the Mustang, the other thing I noticed is the throttle movement is very quick, I have my TMWH throttle set to default, i.e. I did not set it for at 55% physical throttle, gives you 75% of in game throttle, it's one for one on movement, I move it just a little and the in game throttle just jumps at what appears to be 30% more than my physical movement.  The Prop pitch (RPM), and Mixture settings work as they should.  But as stated I can not get the Canopy to work either.  I've got the Coolant and Oil Radiators mapped to sliders on a BlackHog and they work just fine. When I move the slider the switch guard moves and the switch goes in both directions on both.  I have not even tried to map the P-47 yet. The jet crowd I think are the loudest "Squeaky Wheel" so they get top priority to grease the works, to quiet it/them down.  Remember this all started as LOCON, Lock On Modern Air Combat........... JETS................ we Prop heads are an afterthought...

 

I need to get out of here before I accumulate more points towards a ban or DCS JAIL... beside, COMNAVHOUSEPAC has some chores for me to do........

New update today, still not fix!

Any chance I can just get a refund on this mod?

I guess I'm gunna go back to badmouthing people on facebook, I would much rather be flying my "Fixed" p-51d Mustang that I paid money for but, it's not fixed.

After a lot of trial and error I got the thing to work, but now for some reason the throttle and joystick jump all over the place, when I spawn on free flight it rolls violently to the right.  This is all new, I ensure I have the P-51D loaded in settings profile for the HOTAS.  I can switch to the P-47 and it behaves like a dream.  The Mustang throttle when it does almost work correctly is not linear with the movement I have from the TMWH throttle.  I have no J curve set up in DCS either.  it's 1 for 1.  I barely push the throttle and it goes from about 20"mp to 45"mp.. very annoying..............  go back to the P-47 and it's a dream to fly again...............  I'm to the point to where I'm not even sure if I want to start messing with the Spitfire or not.. And this is all on the release version.  I'm afraid I'd throw my computer out the window if I even messed with the open beta.................

Another update today .... Still not fixed. infact if you own the WinWing Take off panel ,you now have more stuff broken.

Seriously ... It's been like 8 months now!

Any chance Eagle Dynamics can just stop mucking up the control settings!?!?!

Well I'm off to Troll and Bad Mouth ED on social media.

<S>

[Major_Mayhem]

Another new patch .... Still not fixed.
Now some of us are getting a flicker/flashing effect in VR.
I guess it's back to bad mouthing ED on social media.

ANOTHER UPDATE AND STILL NOT FIXED

It's only been like 8 months now when the bug was introduced in 2.7

I have to open DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\P-51D\Cockpit\Scripts\clickabledata.lau and change .......

elements["pnt_134"] = default_movable_axis(_("Carburetor Cold Air Control"),devices.ENGINE_SYSTEM, device_commands.Button_8, 134, 0.1 )

elements["pnt_135"] = default_movable_axis(_("Carburetor Warm Air Control"),devices.ENGINE_SYSTEM, device_commands.Button_28, 135, 0.1 )

To

elements["pnt_134"] = default_movable_axis(_("Carburetor Cold Air Control"),devices.ENGINE_SYSTEM, device_commands.Button_7, 134, 0.1 )

elements["pnt_135"] = default_movable_axis(_("Carburetor Warm Air Control"),devices.ENGINE_SYSTEM, device_commands.Button_27, 135, 0.1 )

I have to fix it myself after each update Including the update!

I can understand this crap on the TF51 (Which this bug also effects) as it's a free mod that comes with game client. However I paid real money for the p51d Module and I should NOT have to constantly fix ED screw ups that should have fixed in the first patch after 2.7!

Do yourself a favour and save a copy of edited clickabledata.lua, with complete folder structure. Then disable and enable it with a few clicks in OVGME or JSGME (or whatever you use for managing mods) each time an update comes. I've been doing it for these 8 months - saves lot of time.

Feb 9th new update .....
:Cough: Still not fixed :Cough:
Just sayin!

[_Hoss]

The Jug is even worse, can't use analog axis trim R/P/Y control box, and weapon controls are unusable with controller assigned keystrokes(1 - 9) DX inputs work, butt not the assigned keystrokes. Mustang works great with the controller assigned keystrokes. This is the main reason why I usually give up on DCS ever working right and go back to the other sim. Feels like a huge waste of money and time, and the developers and DCS could care less it seems. What really erks me is it used to work, the Mossie was just as bad with the analog trim, and arming commands, now they work again...... but for how long?
