I have Virpil pedals which are normally working fine, but, (there is always a but) for some reason has lost the bindings, what I mean by this is a day or so ago I was on flying a10IIc and had to use pedals on the ground to steer etc and to control yaw in flight.  Yesterday I want on to practise the F4 and started to taxi, but was unable to steer.   On checking control settings I found that the bindings weren't there any more.   Trouble is you can see the VPC device in the controls but when you pick to pind to brakes or rudder etc. when you go to select the binding options for Z-Axis, Slider and Dial are missing.

If I use windows Game Controllers to inspect game controllers I can see the VPC Rudder Pedals and when I check the properties I can see Z-Axis, Slider and Dial fine and they work, react to me using them on the hardware.

 

So far I have, 

  1. disabled hot plug and re-enabled
  2. Recanned all devices 
  3. Unplugged the rudders and Plugged back in
  4. Done a purge of all USB Devices removing all that are not used and to keep all usb Device down to a minimum (about 7 devices)
  5. Downloaded VIrpils Software updater and applied latest firmware.    Also Virpils software shows the device properly 
  6. Removed the User Config folder and allowed it to be rebuilt
  7. Removed and reinstalled main DCS Game

Right now I am stumped and not sure what step to try next, can anyone help

When you move the pedal feet forward, the Slider box should move for left pedal and Dial for the right pedal.

Are you sure you have completed the Virpil Configuration steps under Axis for these three items Zaxis Slider Axis and Dial Axis should all be blue

In DCS mine are known as joy_slider1 / 2

Hi yeah, got all blue across the board.   

Never had to use the software before, worked fine then settings dropped off as though the device was not there any more

Have added additional screen shot of what I see in main post

In your last screen shot you are looking at the binding for a digital input, not analogue. I.e. you're binding a key or button specifically to rudder left rather than binding an analogue axis to the rudder. You need to select the axis bindings section in the controls menu, the default view shows digital only.
