button mappings with a modifier not working properly?

[foobar56]

Hi,

I have a strange problem with button mappings, wondering if it's only me.

In DCS I set

• Button1 of my joystick as a modifier
• Button2 to trigger Action1
• Button1+Button2 to trigger Action2

I expect Action2 to trigger only when both my modifier (Button1) and Button2 are pressed together (like it does in the Huey), but it is not the case in the KW. It's as if the modifier key was "locked".

After I press the Button1 modifier, all subsequent presses of Button2 trigger Action2, even when I press ONLY Button2.

I have to press the modifier again to "unlock" it, and for Action1 to trigger.

It's not normal, is it?

Thanks

After you selected the Modifiers tab under Controls, in the Modifiers Panel, did you ensure Button 1 was selected in the left "Modifiers" column and not in the right "Switches" column? The action you described is that of a Switch.

oh you're right, it was my stupid mistake.

Had not noticed there was modifiers and switched in that window. Stupid me.

Thanks for pointing that out! All good now
