DCS sees hotas in GUI but not in game? Pls help

[mooshim]

It's a strange and probably simple issue.

 

I have a logitech extreme 3D

 

I have a column in the options gui screen.

 

I have always been confused about whether to leave default keys in the GUI as is and then configure the buttons on the hotas--OUTSIDE of the sim...

 

I'm having huge trouble getting my noobie head around Hat-switch, DMS, boot switch, TMS cursor, trim etc. etc. ( I don't have a throttle).

 

I was just considering configuring pov to up/down/left/right

 

And--in the GUI--configuring trim, cursor slew, etc... to combinations of ctrl+/alt+/Shift+ etc.

 

Just to test whether the sim was "seeing" my stick. I just configured POV and assumed it would respond --without modifiers...that is

I assumed it would be pitch up/down bank L/R...etc.

 

--No response.... Just the views changed --as if the stick isn't being recognized somehow.

 

Am I doing something wrong?

 

Is there a profile file I should delete in order to start anew?

 

MANY THANKS for any advice.:(

BTW...

 

Logitech profiler is "pointing" to the exe file, but does not initiate. --rather I must start it from the desktop icon. --not sure if that is any clue.

 

THNX very much

Are you running the Logitech profiler app as Administrator?

[mooshim]

rgr that.

 

I'm trying a work around that is just using the GUI Ctrl+ for TMS Shift + Slew Alt + for trim...etc.

 

Four buttons on the base are for DMS up,down, left, right.

 

--not sure if this is going to make it more awkward for me or less.

 

I appreciate advice with someone who has been down this road before...and want to avoid re-inventing the wheel. (to mix a metaphor).
