solved VPC Throttle unbindable in UI layer

[Onslott]

Hello,

Not sure where else to post this, but in this latest patch, i have lost the ability to bind the VPC throttle to anything in the UI layer keybinds. More specifically, I want to bind the chat show/hide function to a button the the throttle. This specific keybind is also greyed out in the General keybinds as well (among others). This worked prior to todays patch, and I can't fathom why this would be a thing.

Any ideads? Can we get this ability back?

 

EDIT: When pressing the LCrtl + LShift + Y keybind, it will make the chat box disappear, but will not reappear upon pressing that keybind again as it should. This seems like an actual bug. 

EDIT 2: I'm not experiencing issues where once I hit LCrtl + LShift + Y I am also no longer able to hit escape.

as a test you could try to take a backup of and rename your inputs folder. restart DCS. a new folder with default values will be created. see if the issue goes away. then unfortunately you may need to redo your controls.

I have a few buttons on my throttle bound to things like End Mission, Show Performance Metric, Toggle VR zoom just fine. All of those are located in ‘UI layer’.

I haven’t checked the other options…

Are you trying to do the binding whilst in an module? If so, does it perhaps work, when you do it from the main menu?

Turns there was an issue with Joystick Gremlin. I figured it out. This thread is no longer relevant.
