Collective Stick Won't Move with X-52 HOTAS

[enigma6584]

Alright...I seem to have a problem here. I've installed BS2, was in controls in order to directly map my X-52 HOTAS system using in game set-up. No SST software used. I initially loaded up the lua script of my profile from BS1 and overwrote the default controls. It didn't work.

 

I deleted that in-game profile and started from scratch mapping HOTAS and Axis to proper commands. My X-52 joystick works, my Saitek Combat Rudder Pedals work...all the buttons on my HOTAS system work. The only thing that doesn't work is my Throttle which was of course assigned to the axis for Collective Stick.

 

What the hell am I doing wrong? It takes when assigned. I can adjust curves in Axis Tuning...but when in game when I move the throttle, my collective does not move an inch.

 

Any help would be most apprieciated. It has got to be something stupid and right in front of me.:doh:

Did you keep a backup before overwriting the lua?

 

Lua from BS1 is not compatible with BS2, and if you first overwrote it and then deleted, anything can happen.

 

I would recommend a re-install, or try the following:

C:\Users\XXXX\Saved Games\DCS Blackshark 2\Config\Input

Make a backup of the contents here, then delete them.

 

then start the game again and it will hopefully re-create defaults properly.

 

If this does not work, try a reinstall.

The deletion of the "input" file worked EtherealN. Thank you. :worthy:

I've got same problem but also lots of my buttons dont work. I use SST profile to map the default keystrokes and in controls when I press the button it shows correct assignment but they dont work in the game.

 

edit: full uninstall - delete all user files and re-install fixed it up.

I opened both the old and the new config files in Notepad++ and then used the "compare" plugin. It highlighted all the differences, and it was very easy to copy and paste from the old into the new. Took only a few minutes. This was from 1.2.2 to 1.2.3, so it will take a little more work to go from BS1 to the latest version. You will have to study the differences and actually do some typing, which is still far more preferable than starting from scratch (IMO).
