Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog Coolie Hat not working in game

[Padi]

Hi,

 

I installed DCS again after some months off and wanted to fly the newly purchased A-10C II.

Sadly the coolie hat isn´t working.

I thought maybe it is broken, but when testing and recalibrating the throttle outside of DCS everything is OK, at least in the Windows 10 testing window.

Did everyone know this error or could point me to an approach how I could find out the problem?

 

I also loaded up Arma 3, mapped the coolie hat to the vision and could without any problems move my vision in any direction using the coolie hat, so it must be a problem with DCS...

 

I hope somebody could help me.

 

Greetings

If you use a TM WH throttle the coolie hat is normally bound by default to the right commands for the hog.

But it might be overridden by the UI_Layer.

Go to Options/Controls

Instead of an aircraft, select "UI_Layer"

Check for any bindings that would conflict with your desired use of the throttle and delete them.

Bindings defined for UI_Layer override all other bindings.

Sadly that didn‘t work...

I also realized that I couldn‘t assign the coolie hat to the game, it wouldn‘t respond even in the controls menu, but outside DCS everything is still fine...

I'm using the TM WH throttle and I have no problem with the coolie hat in the A-10C II or other modules. Maybe something is corrupted in the structure "C:\Users\XYZ\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\Input\A-10C II". I would probably delete (or rename) it and let DCS create it anew.

Fortunately that fixed it, thanks!
