UI layer commands bound to a joystick do not work unless you use the keyboard go to control options and press confirm

See title

Sorry, I don't understand the title. Do you mean you can't get your UI controls to work when they are assigned to joystick buttons?

[LockeyNoS7even]

@FlappieI mean when I load into a mission the UI layer controls don't work. Then if I go into the controls menu and click the green button without changing anything they work again.

It happens every time I respawn or change slot in multiplayer across multiple servers.

I tried but I could not reproduce your issue (hide/show chat windows, hide/show VoiceChat window). Which command is bothering you?

[LockeyNoS7even]

@Flappie I have this issue with all of the bindings in the screenshot. This also only seems to affect multiplayer.

If you're not having issues with the UI Layer commands perhaps this only affects these bindings with a modifier?

[LockeyNoS7even]

@Flappiethis issue also seems to resolve itself if I alt-tab from the game (game window does not have focus) and then alt-tab back to the game.

Is your DCS Fullscreen option On or Off?

[LockeyNoS7even]

Fullscreen is set to off but I think that's because I'm in VR.

This behaviour only occurs in multi-player. Playing the same mission in single-player works without issue.

Have you tried with Fullscreen On? Same result?

If it only happens in MP, it means it could be caused by a software which is only launched in MP... SRS?

Try this:

1. In DCS Sepcial options > DCS-SRS (down below) > Untick "Auto Launch SRS" > OK
2. Restart DCS.
3. Join a MP server. Is your issue still present?

[LockeyNoS7even]

The issue persists with Fullscreen enabled and with SRS disabled

Also just to clarify a bit further because I may have missed some of this looking through prior messages:

1. The UI layer commands work in the main menu.
2. The UI layer commands work in the server selection menu.
3. The UI layer commands work when selecting a slot to join in multiplayer.
4. The UI layer commands work when selecting "Fly" once the slot's briefing window appears.
5. The UI layer commands stop working after clicking "Fly".
6. Other joystick bindings continue to work.
7. EITHER entering the adjust controls menu and clicking OK OR alt-tabbing from the game and back again get the UI layer controls working again.
8. The issue then repeats if another slot is selected or I die and have to re-spawn.
9. This issue does not occur when running the same mission in single-player.
10. This issue persists across all MP missions I have tried.

I added one of my throttle switch to modifers (BTN16), then assigned this same button to an aircraft (F-86F) command (canopy open/close). Then:

In SP:

• I tried to open/close canopy (BTN16): it worked.
• I tried to call for "End mission"(BTN16+another throttle button): it worked.

In MP:

• I tried to open/close canopy (BTN16): it worked.
• I tried to call for "End mission"(BTN16+another throttle button): it worked.

 

Since I cannot reproduce your issue, you should open a support ticket: log into DCS website, click "Support", then "Create a new ticket".

That's annoying! Ticket # 134525 opened

[Flappie]

Now that I think of it, do you own the NS430 module? If so, please check your issue does not come from NS430 bindings.

[LockeyNoS7even]

@Flappie Negative. After a bit more testing it looks like the issue is related specifically to the "as mouse" bindings. Once I set those up none of the other UI Layer commands using that controller + modifier combo work. It's being tracked by support ticket # 134525.
