Zoom not working after update ...

[CTBlankenship]

In the Controls tab ... with the Axis Commands filter applied is a mappable action called Zoom.

 

At the beginning of this ordeal I was using the X-56 H.O.T.A.S.

 

Prior to the 2.7.5 update I was able to map one of my rotary dials on its throttle to the Zoom action thereby allowing me to zoom in and out so I can discern distant objects more easily. Now, when I try to map the dial to the Zoom axis nothing happens.  Note that when I am selecting the control I want to use to Zoom that DCS recognizes that control when activated and allows me to assign it. So, I know that DCS is successfully receiving the signal from the HOTAS. I then tried to map the zoom to a second dial on the X-56 throttle ... same problem. Then I tried a rotary dial on the throttle ... same problem.

 

Right about this time my TM Warthog H.O.T.A.S. arrived. So, wishing to start with a clean slate, I uninstalled DCS and wiped out the directory since it was not completely removed since DCS is smart enough to recognize a file that doesn't belong to it during the uninstall there by leaving the install directory. So, I deleted the C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics folder. I then reinstalled DCS, A10C and the A10C II along with NTTR. I then installed the Warthog throttle, stick and pedals.

 

Next, I tried to map the slider on the right side side of the Warthog's throttle to Zoom ... with great anticipation I tried this out in DCS. No joy ... no zooming allowed. 

 

Next, I disabled TrackIR and retested ... again ... no joy.

 

I've done everything I know to do. Prior to the release I was able to map this action to the rotary on the X-56 with no problems.

 

I'm at a loss ... any new ideas would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Try selecting it manually instead of moving it, it is called slider.

Thanks LT ... I figured out what the problem is and unfortunately it is resulting from my multi-screen setup ... Multi-monitor distortion on edges of left and right monitor (on three monitor setup).

 

This is VERY disappointing as this functionality is pretty critical to how I play the game. The three monitor setup is not critical since I have an ASUS ProArt 27" 2560x1440 as my main screen and I use TrackIR so my visibility is good. So, to fix it I had to go back to the 7680x1440 1 Monitor setup in the Control Panel -> System tab. It's OK I guess but now I'm back to the distortion problem ... sigh.

 

Maybe BigNewey can wade in and give me some ideas.

 

Thanks,

Oh, wow. Weird. Hope they consider fixing it
