Smashy Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) With the latest OB patch 2.7.18.30765, it seems I'm unable to change seats with any joystick/throttle binds. The keyboard binds work just fine. I also notice that there are now duplicate control entries for these binds. Note that the keyboard column is grayed out for one pair of duplicates and the joystick column is grayed out for the other pair. Anyone else running into the same problem?

Robi Hobby Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Yes, I also have the problem, keyboard 1, 2 OK, but it no longer works on the Hotas. Why is the writing Orange in Color? left side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jef32 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) +1 It's the same with the stable version since the last update. Until today, I thought that the OB was used to spot the issues and to prevent to duplicate them in the stable version.

Smashy Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 Found the fix. The problem was caused by differences in the default.lua files in the following locations: [DCS basedir]/Mods/aircraft/Uh-1H/Input/UH-1H/joystick [DCS basedir]/Mods/aircraft/Uh-1H/Input/UH-1H/keyboard I made some changes to [DCS basedir]/Mods/aircraft/Uh-1H/Input/UH-1H/joystick/default.lua and can now switch seats via HOTAS button assignments. Make a backup copy of this file first just in case. Find the following lines and comment them out (prepend '--' to the line). It should look like this: --{down = device_commands.Button_1, cockpit_device_id = devices.HEAD_WRAPPER, value_down = 0.0, name = _('Set Pilot Seat'), category = _('View Cockpit')}, --{down = device_commands.Button_2, cockpit_device_id = devices.HEAD_WRAPPER, value_down = 0.0, name = _('Set Operator Seat'), category = _('View Cockpit')}, --{down = device_commands.Button_3, cockpit_device_id = devices.HEAD_WRAPPER, value_down = 0.0, name = _('Set Right Gunner Seat'), category = _('View Cockpit')}, --{down = device_commands.Button_4, cockpit_device_id = devices.HEAD_WRAPPER, value_down = 0.0, name = _('Set Left Gunner Seat'), category = _('View Cockpit')}, Add the following lines: {down = iCommandViewCockpitChangeSeat, value_down = 1, name = _('Set Pilot Seat'), category = _('View Cockpit')}, {down = iCommandViewCockpitChangeSeat, value_down = 2, name = _('Set Operator Seat'), category = _('View Cockpit')}, {down = iCommandViewCockpitChangeSeat, value_down = 3, name = _('Set Left Gunner Seat'), category = _('View Cockpit')}, {down = iCommandViewCockpitChangeSeat, value_down = 4, name = _('Set Right Gunner Seat'), category = _('View Cockpit')}, The orange warnings and duplicates are also gone from the control binding page. This appears to work so far but I'm not sure if it'll break anything else or violate IC. If it works for you, save the modified files in safe place or the next update will clobber them. Alternatively, you should be able to recover them from the most recent [DCS basedir]/_backup* that gets created after an update. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneShotTC Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Tried to implement this fix, but won't work unfortunately. Still have the entries for the 4 different seats in Orange and each of them double. Hopefully this will be fixed by ED somewhen down the road.

McNasty_UK Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Smashy, BOOM! Your LUA file mod works a treat. My Gunners are back..GET SOME ! All, You have to use Notepad ++ ( Free download off the net) and backup the file.Call it OriginalUH1.Lua or something. THIS file is in your DCS root install. Not c:\savedgames.....\mods Prepend means Add. Yup my limited vocab' I had to look it up. So open in Notepad ++ and find {down = device_commands.Button_1, cockpit_device_id = devices.HEAD_WRAPPER, value_down = 0.0, name = _('Set Pilot Seat'), category = _('View Cockpit')}, Then prepend (add) -- to the start of the line to look like --{down = device_commands.Button_1, cockpit_device_id = devices.HEAD_WRAPPER, value_down = 0.0, name = _('Set Pilot Seat'), category = _('View Cockpit')}, Repeat for the other 3 lines. Then paste & copy below ( you can leave a few blank lines in between if you choose. {down = iCommandViewCockpitChangeSeat, value_down = 1, name = _('Set Pilot Seat'), category = _('View Cockpit')}, {down = iCommandViewCockpitChangeSeat, value_down = 2, name = _('Set Operator Seat'), category = _('View Cockpit')}, {down = iCommandViewCockpitChangeSeat, value_down = 3, name = _('Set Left Gunner Seat'), category = _('View Cockpit')}, {down = iCommandViewCockpitChangeSeat, value_down = 4, name = _('Set Right Gunner Seat'), category = _('View Cockpit')}, Save as default.lua When you open DCS and UH1 the orange options are gone and you have nice mapping option for whatever HOTAS keybind.

OneShotTC Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Well, did it EXACTLY as described - Still no Luck. I'm running the latest Beta 2.8.2.35759 I'm hoping for a fix by ED and until then I'll have a workaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
