reported earlier How to fix: Different actions have identical descriptions?

[Urshult Haze]

Can't fly the Huey the way I'm used to!

Suddenly it was just there... the orange text and the commands don't work!

Reset controllers, repaired game, deleted files, reinstalled. No change!

Can't think of anything else to try... any suggestions?

One command is for the Keyboard device, while the other is for the Joystick device ... I agree that it is confusing, but on my DCS the "1" and "2" keys do work to select Pilot or Copilot.

"1" and "2" keys work for me too. but isn't very practical with a VR kit!
Yes, unrealistic but fun to jump between pilot and copilot again and again (changing weapons). And after so many years I can't get used to anything else.
So it can't be fixed? Only hope that it will go back to the way it always was for so many years is if and when I reinstall the whole computer again? Dammed!

Perhaps you can first try an ED support ticket? ... or revert to a prior DCS version where that command worked the way you remember.

Hi, struggled with this some hours since I´m not sure about how the commands are defined.

Finally I found that the problem is in the "Your DCS Directory"\Mods\aircraft\Uh-1H\Input\UH-1H\joystick\default.lua

Make the following change:

-- {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')},
{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')},

Find and copy the first 4 lines, comment the first 4 as a backup. Then change the "down" command. Then it matches the ..\..\keyboard\default.lua

Good luck!

Thank you for your effort!
But unfortunately it didn't work for me.
Maybe I misunderstood something...
