Problem with Virpil CM2 and Warthog stick, 2 hat buttons are set as Encoders and i cant change them to Normal

[Hotdognz]

Hi all I have just attached my Warthog stick to a CM 2 base and set it up in the Virpil software as [SR4021] Thustmaster grip / DIR SR 4201

All buttons test ok except for 23/24 which are set as encoders on the mode, this is on the 4 way castle hat the one below the trim.

I have tried to set them as Normal and save but it always goes back to encoder, DCS is not recognizing these buttons at all.

What am i doing wrong ??, how do i get them to be buttons 23/24

Cheers

Check that connections are seated properly. Check that you have removed the two screws that the instructions mentioned. Check all buttons are registered in joy.cpl (type it after hitting the windows key). Check that the stick works on the TMWH base. If all that fails, unplug all usb devices, reflash the CM2 base firmware. Try again. If that fails you can contact virpil.

Its ok I found the solution over at the Virpil forums, and I didn't need to buy a Virpil grip

Maybe share it incase someone in the future has the same problem...

Fail point, the solution is as follows

I didnt realize I had to add a grip to the base here, it was blank.

That's unnecessary, unless you really like doing all your mappings again. Just make sure that the encoders dropdown has only dashes and zeroes. In your case, it would have said "EncoderDial 23 24"
