MicroStick on Throttle & Grip Cause Issue Only In Harrier

[Fakum]

I started a Thrread over in the RAZBAM section for a particular problem I was having in the Harrier. After tons of troubleshooting, I pinned the issue down to whenever I assign either of the Microsticks to the Harriers "TDC Slew" Axis, it causes an issue in the harrier? I will post the link to the problem,

 

but I dont think its really necessary to read all though that. I confirmed the culprit, so here is what I posted over there as to my findings. This appears to be strictly a Virpil/Harrier matter, as these same microsticks are used in all of my other modules for slewing without issue.

 

Here is my finding:

"So I put more hours into this and found the problem, but now I need to find a solution. The short version of this is:

I found that the Harrier Keybinding file was the cause. If I deleted it, all was well. So, I deleted that file (C:\Users\YourName Here\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\Input\AV8BNA) and did a fresh mapping of HOTAS, Problem was back. I then deleted that file again and painstakingly started re-mapping HOTAS, 1 button at a time until the problem showed up again. Short version: As soon as I map either of the Microsticks on either my Throttle or Grip to "TDC Slew" in AXIS commands, thats when it becomes the obvious problem. Now I gotta go figure out what to do about it. I use both of those microsticks for Slewing in all of my other modules with no issue. Razbam however spits it out?"

As an additional experiment I deleted that file (C:\Users\YourName Here\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\Input\AV8BNA) and went into Harrier controls, cleared the default "Stick" category, and only assigned the TDC Slew Horizontal AXIS to my Grip, and it did the same thing. So this is not just the Microstick Axis as an issue. So I have to think this is more a RAZBAM issue, not a Virpil, especially if I dont have issues with other MODS. Again though, no solution.

I mapped the TDC to a Hat switch, and same result, so its nothing specific to an AXIS, its specific to TDC function, so now its a total loss.

As a last resort, with no keybindings assigned to the Harrier, I jumped into the Harrier again, touched nothing, then hit "DESG" on the Left MFD Map page, it showed "STP". As soon as I hit the default keyboard keybinding for TDC AFT ("J"), it went from STP to TGT,,,,not good! I think I tried about everything at this point.

Matter resolved. Deadband for AXIS had to be increased from 2 to 7 as I did not realize the Axis was influenced ever so slightly (not visual by naked eye).
