Cant get buttons or keys to respond in simulation mode

[olekrow]

Hello hog pilots:

I can not get any buttons or keys to respond in simulation mode,every things works fine in game mode.I cant start the simulation by pressing the pause/break key, but if i mouse click on the square in the lower right corner the sim will run and the axes work ,throttle, stick etc.but no keys or buttons on the controls will respond why they will work in game mode and not in simulation is beyond me. I have tried all kind of things but they wont work any ideas?"Icould sure use some" thank you for any help.

Check the Options Controls and select A-10C Sim Layer and make sure you have some entries there.

 

ESC should map to End Mission

I also have this issue. The way I get around it is as soon as you start a game, simply alt-tab out of DCS then click on the DCS icon on the windows taskbar to go back in to it.

 

Hope this helps.

Another possible remedy is to untick " disable aero interface" in the graphics menu. It worked for me.

Thank you for your input,after adding some enteries into the sim layer the buttons and axis do work in simulation mode,but the keys on the key pad wont respond.I can start the sim by mouse clicking the check mark in lower right hand corner,but i cant get out with out using ctrl/alt/delet.I tried mapping END MISSION to ESC but couldnt get to work.also when in training missions when ask to press space bar its no go.kinda puts a damper on playing in sim mode Mr burnette with out sounding to dumb where do i find the graphics menu to try your suggestion? . Mr Randor your suggestion does work but iguess i can get into the sim by clicking on the check mark thanks to all of you!

Not dumb at all - start DCS World - go into options - the first tab on the left is system, click on that tab if not already there, then look down to the lower right part of the screen, you will see " disable aero interface" there and it probably has a check in it, remove the check. I suspect that will resolve that for you ( space bar not working, esc key not working, etc).

 

Best of luck,

Hmm, that must have been added in later versions I guess... not sure what to tell you then. Does alt-tabbing out of the sim and then going back in, correct the issue?

Itried that but the keys still would not respond thanks again

Delete the Saved Games\DCS Warthog\Config\Input folder. When you restart the sim it will reset your controls to defaults including your axis settings.
