VKB joystick acts weird after RESTARTING dcs

[dennisVDM]

when I start my pc, get into a game of DCS, my VKB gunfighter mk3 stick acts normal. BUT when I have to restart DCS, it acts weird. When I pull up the plane, it will pull up for 10° and stop (eventhough I keep pulling), then I have to go back to center and pull again to cntinue a turn/ climb. Almost as if the stick would react like a keystroke. Again, it works perfectly on the first run, but only restarts of the dccs program lead to this.

any ideas?

Are you using an external app with your VKB stick?

If so, try closing it before you do the test. Does the error persist?

no external app. Here's where it gets really weird. When I'm in cockpit view and I push the stick all the way in one direction, the plane moves a few degrees in that direction and stops (as above), BUT, when I switch to outside view, keeping the pressure on the stick, the plane moves smoothly and continues to move...until I witch to cockpit mode, there it stops again. I'll make a video

I was advised to do a repair and it is still happening

corrected above. same problem, will have to wait for update

found the culprit (i think): the VR controller. when switched on it would somehow block the controls. I disabled it completely in the keybinds
