AAP Steer PT Switch cannot be positioned to FLT PLAN position with joystick button

[agrasyuk]

steps to recreate:
Assign joystick button press to  "AAP Steer point FLT PLAN" action.
Clicking that button does not switch the Steer PT switch to the desired position.
Note: other positions are switchable with assigned joystick buttons. all 3 positions are switchable with assigned keyboard bindings. 

recreated on pure test machine - no mods installed.
Issue was reproducible before (not introduced with the latest build)

I cannot reproduce your problem. I bound that switch position to a button on my VRP MongoosT-50 stick (which I don't normally use for the hog) and when I press that button the switch goes to the "PLAN" position. Maybe that button on your joystick is defective?

The second part of the video is so blurry I don't know what I see. What I think you are trying to tell us is:
You can bind the button to "AAP Steer point FLT PLAN", but the button has no effect in game.

I have seen this kind of issue reported (rarely) on various modules but I have not experienced it myself. I suspect it's a problem in the "....diff.lua file" under "Saved Games"
What I would try: Re-name the folder "C:\Users\XYZ\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\Input\A-10C II\joystick". When you re-start the game DCS will create a new blank version of the folder and its files. Re-create the bindings for your button box or whatever it is and test. If that's successful you can copy the other "...diff.lua" from the re-named folder back into the new folder.
