TAIPAN_ Posted September 2, 2021 Posted September 2, 2021 To reproduce this bug: 1. Map controls on any plane (e.g. tested A-10C II tested mapping controls) 2. Switch to UI layer controls 3. Map a control (e.g. tested mapping BDA show/hide) 4. Check A-10C II controls to see that recent assignments have been removed I suspect when the UI layer gathers the data about all planes mappings, it might gather from the config file instead of whats in memory. When committing the UI layer change it commits the old controls (just a guess). I've noticed this bug was here for a while I lost controls, but only recently isolated the cause. This is extremely frustrating for someone who maps a whole HOTAS, w hole cockpit worth of gear across a whole plane it goes in both UI layer and in the plane.. then when the mapping is lost it takes a long time to redo it. Can it be fixed in future patch? 1 1 Pimax Crystal VR & Simpit User | Ryzen CPU & Nvidia RTX GPU | Some of my mods
Flappie Posted September 2, 2021 Posted September 2, 2021 Thanks for your report. Reproduced and reported. 1 ---
Flappie Posted September 2, 2021 Posted September 2, 2021 I've just discovered the bug also happens when you do things the other way: edit any UI layer control, then edit any aircraft control, then save. Only the UI layer edits get saved. 1 ---
TAIPAN_ Posted September 3, 2021 Author Posted September 3, 2021 Thanks, must be something to do with how UI layer changes get queued for saving. They must override all other control changes even if they don't exist in both. Only workaround is to exit and restart the game between switching controls to edit... but I suspect many don't know the cause and just get annoyed Pimax Crystal VR & Simpit User | Ryzen CPU & Nvidia RTX GPU | Some of my mods

Now that you've found this, I understand. 1 ---

annoluce Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 Hi guys, it just happened to me... I was modifying the UI layer and it magically wiped out all my throttle x56 assignments... Or better said it assigned totally arbitrary mappings... How come? I have most recent update. Thanks
Flappie Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) What is your version of DCS? I'm not sure the issue you're having is the one discussed here. Can you please describe the steps to reproduce the issue? Edited January 5, 2022 by Flappie ---
