Kilgore Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Hello guys, for some reason Lockon doesn't appear to be picking up any shift input combination keys from my joystick. For example, in Lockon when flying the SU25-T to switch on the power at start up, the keyboard input for this is SHIFT+L. I have programmed this into the profile editor for the x52 but for some reason, it doesn't work. Instead it only seems to be picking up the L button and not the combination. I have to manually press SHIFT+L on the keyboard and when I try using the input on the stick, it just illuminates the cockpit which is L by default. Does anybody know why this is happening? It seemed fine yesterday but has suddenly just started doing this. I have tried unplugging and plugging the stick back in and also reinstalling the drivers and SST software but no luck, I still have the same issue. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Sarge55 Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Just a thought but try changing the side of the shift. If you're using LShift + L now try changing it to RShift + L or vic versa.

If you're using LShift + L now try changing it to RShift + L or vic versa. Okay I will give it a go. Trouble is in the keyboard mapping it doesn't seem to distinguish wether it's left or right. Hmm, just tried mapping new buttons on the SST left shift works, right shift doesn't. Same for my friend but his game works okay. Edited February 12, 2010 by Kilgore

Yeah I thought I did, I guess not. T.y Downloading it now. Still having the same problem. Although for some reason I can use another shift commands for other buttons for example T4 for flaps down seems to work. I tried using a different config, tried remapping the controls in the actual game with right shift (which doesn't seem to matter which shift key you use) it just doesn't want to accept shift L input for T1. I also noticed that something similar for my t.v screen in the SU25-T. I have mode 3 T1 for t.v on and T2 for laser on but when I try to turn the laser on, it turns my t.v on and off. I really don't know what the hell is going on. My friend has the exact same stick as me and software/drivers and his works fine. :| Edited February 13, 2010 by Kilgore
Boulund Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Try uninstalling drivers/profiler and reinstall, plug in the device in another USB-port. Make a new config from scratch and make sure to load the right one. Make sure all connectors are firmly in place. Now I'm out of ideas.... note: this list should probably be done in reverse order =) Core i5-760 @ 3.6Ghz, 4GB DDR3, Geforce GTX470, Samsung SATA HDD, Dell UH2311H 1920x1080, Saitek X52 Pro., FreeTrack homemade cap w/ LifeCam VX-1000, Windows 7 Professional x64 SP1.

Feuerfalke Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Can you post your config-file, somehow? That would make it a lot easier, since we could rule out programming or software-errors and determine if it's the software or the game.

Kilgore Posted March 30, 2010 Author Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) Hey guys, I just got Flaming cliffs 2.0 and I'm having the same problem!! It's the same engine as black shark now right so why am I having this problem?? I don't have it with Black shark. Basically the game is not detecting any shift input from my stick profile but it works if I use the keyboard. Can anyone help me? This is really frustrating!!! For example if I press the button I have assigned for power/electricals on in the Su-25T nothing happens. If I press right shift and L on the keyboard, the power comes on. If I then again press the power/electricals button on my joystick, the cockpit lights will turn on and off as if I'm pressing just L on it's own. I have double checked my profile, I definatly have it set to right shift + L so wtf is going on! Please help! Anyone know if it's maybe something to do with windows 7?

Boulund Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 I'm thinking it may be something strange with your key-stroke recording. Try recording it again, and make sure to hold shift while pressing L. Try recording it as a macro instead and play with the timings of the button holds? I used windows 7 and have no problems, sorry to hear about yours.

Kilgore Posted March 31, 2010 Author Posted March 31, 2010 (edited) Okay, I'll try it out and let you know how it goes. Yeah it is wierd, my friend has the same stick as me and the same profile but he isn't affected by it. Anyway, I'll give it a go. Haha, you were correct. Holding them both down at the same time worked!! Thanks a lot! I love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu :D Edited March 31, 2010 by Kilgore
