Joystick, keyboard and TrackIR show up in controls, but do not function in Sim?

Hi All, This is a copy and re listing of a previous users problem that has not had a reasonable explanation, or been resolved to my knowledge.

 

The scenario I have is as follows...(and it's driving me crazy....:helpsmilie:)

 

I startup BS2 and go to the controls and can see that my WH Hotas (throttle & joystick) are mapped by default, and my keyboard works fine in selecting or modifying controls. also pressing any bitton on Hotas, and the selected function gets highlighted in the controls list...all good so far,

 

However, when I start the game, load a cold start for example, after getting past the pause/break screen, my keyboard and joystick and TrackIR have no function. The Shark just sits there on the runway, all rotors turning and powered up, sounds all good, but the only function I have available is the esc button on my keyboard that allows me to leave the game. My mouse works, and I can do everything with that, (switches etc) but no input commands works from my keyboard or joystick or TrackIR.

 

I am thinking this is something stupid that I forgot....any pointers? I have reinstalled BS and BS2. It was working fine before....

I would try deleting/renaming the config folder in the BS saved games. It will get recreated and may fix the problem.

Did you make sure to select the correct aircraft for mapping the controls?

 

If you have "Game flight mode" checked in the options, select "Ka-50 Game", otherwise it'll be "Ka-50 Sim".

Thanks for suggestions.

 

Cichlidfan;...tried what you suggested....no luck.

 

Yurgon;... more info below.

 

I want to run the 'Sim' as opposed to 'game mode'. I click on 'Ka 50 Sim', in the controls tab, and all controls on joystick / throttle and keyboard appear to be selected. How do I save it to use the 'Sim' option in controls....because every time I exit controls in options....and return to it, I find 'Free Camera' is always selected by default. Could this be the problem?

 

Any help from anybody welcome.

keep all USB in. RESTART. that should do the trick.

Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

CICHLIDFAN......Apologies from me.....you were spot on. I had all sorts of files in my 'saved games' folder. Deleted the lot, and 'Hey Presto'.....:thumbup:

 

Big credit to you.....problem sorted! :)
