SoftTH issue

[DerZocker]

I'm using SoftTH 2.08b x64. It works but I can't exit to the main menu, because it's not possible to click on the menu items..

Someone else with that problem? :helpsmilie:

This isn't a Softth bug - it's a DCS internal issue when Aero is disabled.

You resolve this without Softth by alt-tabing in and out... since alt-tabing is no option with SoftTH, you will have to make sure than aero is switched on while SoftTH is running.

 

 

Check-list:

Windows: Aero Desktop theme is in use

config.SoftTHconfig: Keepcomposition = 1

DCS: "Disable aero interface" is unchecked

I've also got a problem trying to click on stuff. I've been through that checklist and it hasn't helped (the lag on my side monitors is noticeably worse with "disable aero interface unchecked though!"). I didn't have this problem pre-DCS:World.

 

To further explain, what happens is that when I launch a mission, I cannot click the 'fly' button, but if i start with the pause/break key I am able to look around the cockpit with trackir. My screens then seem to have zones where the cursor is the windows pointer and clicking has the effect of alt-tabbing (game freezes, can still hear sound effects).

 

The rest of the screen gives me the yellow + cursor but I cannot click on controls. I have found that if I look directly down into the centre of the seat, I get a green arrow and can hear a sound when I click like it's switching a control, but it isn't one I can see from this position.

 

I'm on the most up to date DCS World version, and SoftTH version, I have tried rolling back to 2.07 and 2.06 versions of SoftTH which hasn't helped.

Okay I edited my MonitorSetup.lua and the mouse now works correctly if I have "disable aero interface" unchecked. Is there anything I can do about the large lag this causes on my side monitors?

Have you tried using the 'nosync' and FPS limiter options on the side monitors in your SoftTH config file? Both of these are intended to help lag. You might also try lowering the effective resolution being rendered on the side monitors, again through SoftTH.

I've got exactly the same.

Thought I'd give the latest version of SoftTH a go everything works fine with the exception of my mouse buttons.

The mouse moves around the screen OK, can use it for mouse look as well but there is no response to either left or right buttons.
