LotusDragon Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 For the first time in more than 5 years in dcs I lost the mappings for my Logitech X56 throttle. It seems it reverted to default mappings for all planes! But only the throttle, the stick is fine. I did not changed anything on my system, except for an nvidia update. How could this happen? I'm running the latest open beta with MT and the F-15E. It did not even happen directly after a dcs update, just suddenly after I haven't played for a few days. It would be good to know why before I start remapping everything again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Rudel_chw Posted July 6, 2023 Solution Share Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, LotusDragon said: I did not changed anything on my system, except for an nvidia update. Maybe that update made windows re-assign new USB IDentifications to your throttle, look at the folder where DCS saves your mappings, for example on my DCS, for the A-10C I've got these files: You can see that over the years, each time Windows has assigned a new USB ID to my Hotas, DCS has begun a new bindings (mapping) file with extension .diff.lua See if you have files similar to these, their dates will tell you when each file was last changed ... do you have one with the date the issue started? If yes, copy the contents of the file with just prior date, onto the newer one, this should recover your bindings. Repeat for every aircraft that had this problem. Important: Use a good text editor to do this content copy, like Notepad++ ... the windows standard Notepad is not good for editing lua files.

LotusDragon Posted July 6, 2023 Author Share Posted July 6, 2023 @Rudel_chw yes, you are right. It had for some reason created a new mapping file and your solution did the trick. Muchas gracias! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LotusDragon Posted July 7, 2023 Author Share Posted July 7, 2023 It is important to make at least one change to the reverted profile in the controls settings, otherwise it does not generate a new file. I did not do this for the other planes and was wondering why there are no new mapping files. Just in case somebody has the same problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
