Unable to assign axis commands.

[BrassEm]

Hello,

 

This is a precursory post, I have searched without an answer.

 

After a major hardware update I've come back to LOMAC to see how the hardware would improve the game performance. It has been a long time so I needed to do major updates. After a visit to the DCS store I now have all the latest software. Installation was straight forward and was starting the game okay. The next step to flying was the controller assignments...

 

My original LOMAC control was only through just a MSFFB2 controller. All straight forward. The new FC3 sees the MSFFB2 controller okay.

 

1. I cannot assign a new controller axis.

 

FC3 sees the following devices;

 

CH PRO Throttle

VRinsight FLIGHT MASTER Yoke

GF-TQ6 Throttle

MSFFB2 Joystick

Razer Nostromo N-52

Saitek Rudder Pedals

 

Yet I cannot change the assignments to the axis like I can in other games. Nothing happens.

 

[EDIT] Double Click.

 

Went back to LOMAC and the above devices were listed. Was able to assign axis function no problem. Back to FC3. Basic Joy_? function is across all controllers by default. Deleted the joy function from all the controllers for the flight axis command. Double clicked on the controller column I want with the flight axis command row. A new dialog appeared. Moved the controller axis till it registered in the dialog box. Okay and saved the profile.

 

The thing that threw me was there was no destinquishing feature to tell which i.e. Joy_X belonged to what controller other than the column.

 

Just had a good instruction flight in the A-10C. Thank you ED!

 

2. Not all USB devices listed.

 

I have many USB devices ready to link to FC3 but they do not list?

 

CH PRO Throttle

VRinsight FLIGHT MASTER Yoke

VRinsight Boeing MCP COMBO II

GF-TQ6 Throttle

MSFFB2 Joystick

Razer Nostromo N-52

Saitek Rudder Pedals

Logitech G-15 Keyboard

Razer Mouse

TrackIR 5

Turtlebeach Headset

VRinsight CDUII

 

I am familiar with LUA, so if that is the path I must take to get these devices to work so be it. I would appreciate some guidance though. I am really disappointed that I could not fly "off the shelf" quickly like all the other sims.

 

[EDIT] GUID's

 

Found the .lua's for the recognised hardware. Looks like the GUIDs are used just like FSUIPC. Just gotta find the links. The CDUII is a must!

 

thanks in advance!
