Bliksem Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) Just got a new WW HOTAS setup (Orion2 F-16EX stick and Orion2 F-15 EX II Throttle) and I'm psyched! (T Flight Hotas X was getting limiting). However DCS won't recognize 4 buttons on the joystick - DMS, TMS and the EX-kit 'Castle' and 'Slew' (?) buttons. I have no idea, spent hours configuring, t/shooting, searching forums etc. Anyone had this issue, got any ideas?? More Details... DCS World OpenBeta 2.9 (updated before installing new WW HOTAS) WW Sim App Pro is calibrated, recognizes all button functions correctly (both stick and throttle) WW Firmware is the latest for all (bases, stick and throttle) Same issue for all aircraft so far (A-10, F-16, F-18 etc) Have uninstalled/ re-installed Sim App Pro, and Stick Throttle devices with no luck Have tried a couple 3rd Party F-16EX LUA profiles with no joy either Edited October 24, 2023 by Bliksem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangSally Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) Ok, first things first...if they are recorginised in Simappro then they should be 100% recorginised in DCS. Also check on how those hats are configured.....are they button presses or analog axis's??

Bliksem Posted October 24, 2023 Author Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) UPDATE - No clue how, but somehow, over the weekend, this resolved itself.

Didn't notice any improvement, but who knows? HOWEVER.. I did notice after the WW HOTAS installation/ setup, in DCS controls there were 4 instances of the Joystick device (yes 4! ) each with different device IDs (serial numbers/ device codes, whatever...) which being new to WW, led me to believe this was normal (?). Maybe one was the Base, another was the EX Viper 2 button strap-on, and the third.. well, maybe that was the shaker/ force feedback unit..?? BOLLOX. Clearly something went sideways with the install. Then, In a Galaxy Very, Very Near... MFG Crosswinds to the RESCUE! Miraculously, after connecting my new MFG Pedals everything resolved itself? (WTF?!) The 3 Ghost F-16 Hotas devices disappeared, and DCS welcomed my HOTAS buttons/hats/boats/sliders/coolies/flippies/slippies and whatsits with open wings. AWESOME! Ok, cool, I'll take it! Shout out to Milan, and his epic JEDI pedals. God help me if I ever have to go through that again. Aaaaand now to spend the rest of eternity setting up the Orion 2, F-16 stick and F-15 EX throttle's 2 x 2n x 3n HOTAS buttons/hats/boats/sliders/coolies/flippies/slippies and whatsits. Aaargh. At least they work in DCS now. #LovingDCS2.9Graphics! Edited October 24, 2023 by Bliksem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
