Problem moving from back to front seat F-4E

[Richrach]

I cannot move from the back seat to the front seat with a switch on my X-56 throttle.  I have tried different switches so I know it is not the throttle.  I have the same switch set to toggle WSO seat one way, then Pilot's seat the other.  I can get from front to back fine, but cannot return using the switch.  Keyboard works fine, but under the VR goggles it is a challenge to find it quickly.

 

Has anyone else had this problem?  If so what fix have you found, if any?

There are probably two different profiles in the controls - one for the F-4E pilot and the other for F-4E WSO. When you are in the WSO seat the WSO profile is used. Make sure the binding to go back to the pilot seat is set there.

CAPT Draconus, you are FM (Freakin' Magic).  Even though the keyboard stroke is the same in the control file for each seat, your solution was spot on.  Not sure why it works that way, do not care.  FM.

Thank you, Sir,

When F-14 was released there were similar problems - we told HB that making "pilot seat" bind in the pilot controls profile or "WSO seat" bind in WSO controls profile does not make sense and is confusing, because it simply won't work, but I guess they didn't learn.
