XBox for TEDAC losing Modifiers and controller binds

[Caldera]

Hey All,

I am not sure what goes on here.  But please take a look at the picture.

I had forgotten to turn on my Xbox before playing.  So I used "Rescan devices" to let DCS acquire the controller after I had turned it on.  The two modifiers that I had assigned were gone (Left Paddle and Right Paddle) and all the binds that I had assigned to them were also gone (blank).  The only thing present was the red circles with "!" in them.   The controller binds that did not have a  modifier worked just fine.

The picture above was taken after I replaced the binds.  All the controller binds are now working.  But the red circles (error?) persist. 

This has already happened to me a few times in the past.  It is annoying...

Anyone one know what is going on?

Thanks in advance,

Caldera

I have had the modifiers disappear for me also. What I do to avoid this is click rescan and then click cancel (the rescan will still happen). If you click on ok it will save the controls and sometimes it saves them without your modifiers or completely unbound.

My poor memory seems to think that I have had issues with modifiers from other devices, not just the XBox controller.

This a bug using modifiers?

How do I get rid of the red circles?

OK

I am annoyed.  Just started the game, I made sure that the XBox controller was on first.

But...

The modifiers have once again vanished replaced by the red  circles.

WTF, this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I have just started getting this issue also...was practicing yesterday and button presses were not doing what I thought........took 15 minutes double checking procedures etc before I looked in controls and sure enough, modifiers gone.....WTF? How does this happen all of a sudden and why? 

[Caldera]

Yes, this is a bug.

Maybe it is not all DCS's fault.  Windows may swap devices around along with their ID numbers.  And I think that DCS loses track sometimes especially with Modifiers.

I have noticed that for whatever reason Windows like to lose the Bluetooth pairing for these gamepads. Simply unplugging and replugging them will fix that. Is that what’s happening here?

Sharpe,

No, I am using a cord with the XBox controller.
