Cant map certain things to Joystick / throttle

[Shadylurker]

In the dcs key editor I seem to get locked out of mapping keys to certain things (stick, throttle, ect.) some how, why is this and how do I get around it?

 

What I mean is I can't select cut of burst to map it to a throttle button. but i can map it all day to the joystick, its like this for just a handfull of things but they are things that would be handy to map (like cob). It also goes both ways (some wont map to stick, some wont map to throttle)

 

also when i loaded my su25 profile to the a-10 i couldn't map my weapon pickle button....why on earth??? because it makes to much sense to make it easy for everything to be the same for every jet besides the obvious differences??

 

:mad:

 

thanks for any help regarding this issue

Regarding pickle and mapping your su25 profile, what exact steps did you take and what stick/software do you use? Russian and american planes use different methods for weapon release and for example copying lua maps over manually can break things because of this.

 

Mapping to throttle or stick, again: which stick? Any additional software involved? More information needed, since I do not see why this would happen.

This is a Logitech g940 (5.09 software with firmware update) and it is all in game, the only thing i do out of game is lower the sensitivity on x and y axis.

 

what I did was make a profile on the su25 and saved both the stick and throttle profile in game, then loaded it to every aircraft in game and figured i would just move the aircraft specific stuff around as needed. it seems all of the aircraft specific stuff gets locked out, but at the same time its more general (IE the pickle button). the ones i cant map don't have a box there to even click. It acts like its locking me into the su25 profile. On the A-10 i hit the clear category on throttle, pedals, and joystick but I still cannot map the Cut of burst button to my throttle (for a specific reference), but at the same time this let me map the pickle button when i just cleared the joystick in the weapons category.

 

 

Back before all of this i had to manually (via explorer) delete my modified profiles because i'm dumb and loaded my stick over the key commands on every plane accidentally and needed it to be back to default:doh:

 

 

EDIT: i should also mention i am aware of the difference in the way the aircraft release weapons (trigger is gun on a10 and it has a separate pickle button but in su25 trigger is the release weapon button as well and cannon must be switched on) so its not that kind of problem :D

I just totally removed and reinstalled FC2 then mapped out the su25 controls and saved profiles, then when I loaded my SU25 joystick profile on too the SU25T it totally removed my ability to map anything to my joystick that the su25T has that the su25 doesn't. IE I cant map any of the stuff related to the 25t sensor package (to the joystick only). I assume it would do the same for any other aircraft, so it seems with my controller combo and fc2 i have to manually make every single aircraft's profile. I should be able to mix and match as long as they use the same commands so the RU fighters shouldn't be that massive of a PITA, but this is still goofy none the less.
