ChromeWasp Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 1 flight in 3 BS starts to ignore joystick input The joystick is still functioning in windows OK It seems to happen if I don't move the joystick for a period of time (Which happens if I am in autohover - all my shkval and weapons controls are on other input devices) The only solution is to abort the mission -- On a similar note there are other times when the mouse is ignored (but it usually starts working again, unlike the joystick) And when in the Options / Controls GUI sometimes pressing a button will jump to the corresponding row, other times it won't ... I can't determine a pattern In general BS1 seems to have problems handling user input I didn't find similar problems when searching this forum, am I alone?

159th_Falcon Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Crazy idea, but maybe related to windows power settings? Disabling USB devices? Have a look in; Control Panel Power options edit plan settings USB settings USB selective suspend setting (mine is enabled no issues here.)

MemphisBelle Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 all my shkval and weapons controls are on other input devices) ... I didn't find similar problems when searching this forum, am I alone? What do you mean by other input devices? additional keyboards? Can you please specify that a little more. What Joystick do you have actually? My guess is that the dog is hidden there. what about remapping the Joystick with most of the necessary inputs and remopve all other devices, may be we´ve a hardware or driver issue here.

ChromeWasp Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 Thanks for your helpful posts I plugged the joystick in to a different USB port and have had no problems since My guess is that the joystick was getting "unplugged" very briefly - enough for black shark to lose it as a DirectInput device xbox controllers have a different API that supports hot plugging while the game is running - but DirectInput devices need special handling for this The proof is simple - unplug a joystick while BS is flying and plug it back in - it won't work ... Not a big problem but ideally BS should handle hot plugging of a plug and play device Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
