72hundred Posted April 24, 2021 Posted April 24, 2021 Hi, I've a few modules and installed the A10C II today and I cannon bind my keys as I wish to as certain options are grayed out. See image attached with the yellow box around it. How can I "un" gray these areas so I can apply the keybinds? I've other modules installed and set-up with a lot of custom key binds so not in a rush to reset everything!

The button for mfd 2 do not necessarly show up in the same line for mfd 2. Scroll up or down to see if the button assignment for mfd 2 show up.

=Panther= Posted April 25, 2021 Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) For some reason ED locked the MFD on the A-10, I do not understand it and has been an issue a very long time.

72hundred Posted April 25, 2021 Author Posted April 25, 2021 @FOXFIRE TWOONE; yes there's somethings attached but not as they should be. @=Panther=What! That's nuts. Ok thanks for confirming its an issue. I guess I could work it around to change the others back. No justification was even for same no? Has it been logged as a bug?

=Panther= Posted April 25, 2021 Posted April 25, 2021 I lost track on the conversation but a search of the forums revealed numerous reports of the them being grayed out. I do not have a work around solution that doesn't involve a complete redo of the setup. Maybe a post in the aircraft forum specific section and ask for help. Maybe someone has a solution, or a bug post can be started. 1 Twitch Channel [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Virtual Thunderbirds, LLC | Sponsored by Thrustmaster Z390 Aorus Xtreme, i9 9900k, G.SKILL TridentZ Series 32GB, 1080ti 11GB, Obutto R3Volution, Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog, TPR, Cougar MFDs, FSSB R3L, JetSeat, Oculus Rift S, Buddy-Fox A-10C UFC, F/A-18C UFC, Tek Creations F-16 ICP

72hundred Posted April 26, 2021 Author Posted April 26, 2021 Didn't need to start another thread. Found the solution fairly readily - Left is 1, right is 2 for the A10C. I've three so set the third as 3. Its probably broken all my bindings for the other aircraft but I'll get over it!

In <DCS>\<plane>\Input\<plane>\joystick, delete the device-specific profiles for F16 MFD 1 and MFD 2. Can also copy the bindings from one into the other. It's where DCS finds a device-specific profile in that folder, and then that will override the default joystick profile.

For other modules, it's fine, maybe it was harrier module when I transitioned from 2mfds to 3.

MrReynolds Posted May 18, 2024 Posted May 18, 2024 Just had the issue where both MFDs were labelled as "1".... Could not program the right MFD at all. It was only allowing to be set as left (which was already programmed to ... the left)! 72hundred's linked video worked for me, so thanks very much. Was about to set keybinds and then program the right MFD in joystick Gremlin!
