Controls remap after firing ATGM in DCS:BS

Recommended Posts

Hello all! :) I've recently installed the game and I've already had to correct a few bugs, but I haven't found anyone else with this problem.

 

What happens is while I'm in game, usually after firing an ATGM, the control mapping completely changes. I'm using a Saitek X52 Pro and I thought that may be the problem, but then I realized that the keyboard mapping changed as well. I was able to get it to revert to the standard mapping after a little button mashing, but that isn't very scientific, is it? :P And I haven't been able to replicate that.

 

My current setup is as follows:

Windows XP 32 bit

ATI Radeon x1950 Pro

4 gb RAM (3 gb utilized)

AMD Phenom II x3 710

 

I would appreciate any ideas on fixing this issue, because it's basically a game-crippling issue. :(

Ok, found the problem. It seems that the R-ALT key is sticking when I depress the Release Weapons function I have mapped to my X52 Pro. So I have another new question lol. What is the best way to map key stroke combos (like Space+R-Alt) in Saitek's Profile Editor?

Not sure actually - but just to give you another method. I've skipped the Profiler altogether, using the drivers only using this method - and defined all my inputs within DCS:BS itself (options);

Small tip for x52pro users

 

You get no conflicts (double inputs) if you use such a method.

Of course you shouldnt get that if you check your bindings in your profiler properly.

I have checked the mappings and experimented with different ways of inputting the control sequences in SST, but there are still problems. Thanks for the link though, it's an interesting idea and it's definitely worth a shot! :) I'll report back on how it works.

 

The only thing that I don't like about the method is that you lose the mode functions in the x52... :/

Woot! That does work and I was able to map the pinkie button as a modifier, so that's a definite plus. But it leads me to another question. Panzertard, I've noticed that you have not been able to map the mouse nub. I checked the axis list in-game and it's a big one:

 

JOY_ARX

ARY

ARZ

ASLIDER1

ASLIDER2

AX

AY

AZ

FRX

FRY

FRZ

FSLIDER1

FSLIDER2

FX

FY

FZ

RX

RY

RZ

SLIDER1

SLIDER2

VRX

VRY

VSLIDER1

VSLIDER2

VX

VY

VZ

X

Y

Z

 

Phew! lol So does anyone know why so many appear on an x52 Pro and/or what they are assigned to?

I've looked away from the fact that I cannot use the mini mouse - I've been able to map everything sufficiently to have a blast online :)

 

Throttle:

Most of my Shkval (zoom, slew) and optics (HMS and Shkval enable) are mapped to the Throttle (+ using the slider for a Zoom, the "axis" zoom method)

And Flare dispenser start/stop.

 

Main stick:

Most weapons controls (and modes), AP (dampers channels+hover mode+trim (on my pinky)), lock / unlock / reset - is mapped to the main stick.

 

So Im able to fly hands off from keyboard in a "hotzone", fight, target or evade - ... while pre ingress, and post egress I may use the keyboard while having a cigar.

That is similar to I have it setup as well, and it does work, but it would be nice to be able to use to the mouse nub.

 

BTW the cigar: a nice touch of class. lol Makes me want to get into my humidor right now! :)
