G940 Throttle problem (BS dont recons the Throttle movements/buttons in options)

[idenwen]

Hello @all,

I have a weird problem with Black Shark (1.02 Patch, launched from start menu) and my G940 Set (latest Software + Firmware upgrade).

In the setupscreen for the controls in BS I see three columns for the three parts of the G940 (but with weird names, see screenie). There are no problems with the stick or the pedals, the're working as expected.

But if I try to map anything to the throttle (axis or button controls) it dont reacts to anything done on the throttle exept the two throttles control pitch and yaw of the chopper - as the stick does too - regardless of whats set in the options.

Additional if you doubleclick a axis slot and then move the axis you want to assign on the stick the window will show what axis you moved - that works on pedal and stick - but not on the throttle.

To me it seems like BS dont knows that there is a throttle at all and thinks the axis movements are stick movements.

 

What have I done so far:

I searched and read every topic I found in this forum with the keyword "G940"

I reinstalled the G940 software and drivers

I tried running BS as admin

I cleared out any mappings and started all over

I made shure the game mode is correct (Sim, Arcade)

I tested the G940 in other games (Lockon) and the throttle works fine, in the windows control paneel it works too.

 

But no success...

 

System:

Win7 Ultimate 64bit German

i7 960@3,2ghz

ATI 5870, 1GB, @930mhz/1300mhz

12GB Ram @1600mhz

 

Any ideas?

Did you point the DCS blackshark profile to the right .exe file in your Logitech profiler? The one that comes with the G940 is pre 1.02 patch and the name of DCS.exe no longer is used and it is in a different location. You need to point it to simulator.exe (or the equivelant in german version)

 

Once you do this I would go into the profile and see if somehow the axis are maped properly.

Path in the profiler is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\bin\x86\stable\simulator.exe

No. Still no response from the throttle in the options menu. And still ingame response only as "second joystick".

Funny part: Even if I delete all mappings for the throttle in sim, arcade and freecam mode it still acts as a second joystick.

 

Is there some way to force BS to forget about the controllers and force a redetect of the hardware around? Tried to delete all *.lua-files with G940 in the name but that only set the controls mappings to default.

 

Did a clean [1] reinstall of BS with actual patch this night, but still the same problem. :cry:

 

[1]: deactivate, deinstall, delete folders, search and clean registry, reinstall, reactivate

Solved!

 

Ah....

I'm stupid ;)

Nevermind it works now :music_whistling:

You forgot that you had other stick there, and the G940 was a bit to the right, using the scrollbar?

A bit hard to notice that scrollbar sometimes. :)

Would not call it a "stick" - its the small thumb thingie in the G13 that has managed to get the fist position - its even on the screenie but I was too distracted from these class-ids to notice the 13 behind the "G" :doh:

 

Good Flight @all
