Base/Distance axis not working

[John-John]

hi,

 

first of all, please excuse me if i do not post in the right category, i'm new in this forum :)

 

then, please excuse my english, i'm french, but i want my question to be seen and understood by the most people :)

 

Here's my problem

 

Having used a lot Lock On and FC1 for several years, I have not been flying for a long time now. But as we all know, we can never really stop ^^ after a few years I have plugged my X52 again and reinstalled lock on. I had bought FC2 before I stopped, so I installed it back too.

 

I configured the whole controls stuff in the options of FC2 to match perfectly my X52 profile. I've been able to make everything work except one thing : the base/distance axis ...

 

I've been trying this on all the axis of my X52 but getting no response ...

 

Am I setting the right axis for the right action ? (see the attached 2 jpg) And if not, which axis or input should I edit to have control on the setting I have highlighted in red on the second screenshot ?

 

Thanks a lot :)

That would be "Radar Horizontal" axis, it doesn't make sense but that's what it right now, the Base/Distance now works as radar range increase/decrease

hello and thanks for your answer :)

 

the radar horizontal axis is not the axis allowing you to scan on the right and the left of you aircraft ? if this is the case i've already set this on other inputs of my X52.

 

what I want to do is incresing or decreasing the range of my radar to sort my targets if e.g I have two incoming waves, to only see the closest one

As I said, this is how it works in DCS right now so just try it. You can clew radar left/right by key command only, not an axis.

 

Also Radar Horizontal assignment to an axis was removed back in FC1/FC2, and the way it is right now it's probably bugged, or ED decided to "reuse" existing axis that didn't work and set it for range instead and didn't rename it.

strange :)

 

anyway, you were totally right, it's now working, thank you very much !

 

should I add a [RESOLVED] tag to my initial message title ?

Yep we oldies know. This bad axis naming exist for many versions... what a mess.

On this forum no one cares or tracks bugs/problems in such way [solved/unsolved]. It is still good habit and maybe other users and moderators will follow you.

hello :)

 

sorry for the dumb question, in fact I tried to find my answer on a lot of forums and websites (even here) but I did not find any clear answer as the one I got here :) The strange thing is I don't remember I had had this issue when I first installed FC2 a few years ago. But maybe I did not try to set my axis / inputs as deep as I am doing now.

 

Anyway, I add the [sOLVED] tag, it may help other people in the same case :)

 

Thank you again for the fast and clear answer :)
