How do I get my controls back?

[msalama]

Hello,

 

I've saved my control settings - i.e. the ones in the My Games folder - but they don't work anymore when copy-pasted back. WTF? Pitch and yaw work (mapped to a Sidewinder Pro & self-made rudder pedals respectively), but roll (mapped to the SwP) doesn't respond. Plus the pitch doesn't center on its own either anymore!

 

What should I do??? No fun having a new patch when the plane is inop :cry:

Do not Copy/Paste between versions. It is not advisable. Re-Map where relevant.

Delete the Input folder from SavedGames/DCS Warthog.... it's in the changelog of 1.1.1.1... you shouldn't use files from different version into new ones... instead you have to edit new files again

 

Viper beat me to it :)

Rgr, thx guys. Well, off to remap the buggers then... S!

I had the same problem, had te remap all my key assignments :(

Now have made screenshots of all the settingtables may this happen again in the future.

I can vouch for this point.

In Mulitiplayer, we saw all kind of weirdness.

 

The best one was:

 

1.one player was flying, the two other players saw his plane on tarmac.

 

2. the flying player then shot at the planes on the ground.

 

3. he hit his own plane on the ground and took damage on his flying plane.

Har :D Well I'm using customized mappings, but luckily they're kind of logical and thus easy to remember / input again. But truth be telt I STILL pitched a fit when first firing up the sim after work today and finding my controls tooootally FUBARed :D

 

But that's just spilt milk - all good again.

See the release notes of 1.1.1.1

 

Note: v1.1.1.1 will break any joystick or keyboard config that uses custom modifier keys - It is a simple fix to re-add the Custom Modifier Key to the Modifier list.

Ach, must've skipped over that part when skimming through the RNs early this morning :doh: I did notice there's a separate file for modifiers now, however - edited that and then just reassigned my mappings and I was good to go.

 

Hmm... now since this turned out to be a false alarm (and me not paying enough attention to the RNs) I really don't mind if our good mods want to delete this thread as spam actually :music_whistling:

Maybe you read the "release notes" from this site:

http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/patches/dcs-wh_patch_1.1.1.1_en/

 

The modifier thing is not mentioned there at all.

Have I to remap the whole control list from option's controls window only or could I copy/paste not file but instead only text lines from saved "oldprofile.lua" file into the new one? And what about reload the saved old profile as advised in this post:
