DCS World Black Shark 2 control importing

[Flogger23m]

Hello,

 

I am wondering if it is possible to import my control set up for my X52Pro from Black Shark 1 (Steam version) to Black Shark 2 (DCS World)? I am using the in game control setup/configuration. I load my .lua file with my control setup from BS1 though my collective and trimmer do not seem to work. Most of my other functions carried over fine.

 

Is there anyway to resolve this issue? Or must I create a new profile from scratch? I tried manually resetting the trimmer button in World however this does not seem to change anything and it remains nonfunctional in World. If I must redo the controls from scratch, how do I program my collective for up/down? I forgot how I did it in BS1.

 

I was able to successfully import my FC2 profiles into FC3/World with no issues though. Hopefully this is possible with BS1 to BS2/World.

I guess you will be better starting from scratch. If u still have BS1 just take some screen shots (use window mode). They will help.

 

To map an axis, you go to OPTIONS, CONTROLLERS, axis, and click on the item you wish to map (row), under the column for the controller u wish to use for it. Then when you click the ADD button you get the controller scree. Just cycle the axis on your stick, and the software should pick it up.

So far all of the functions have imported correctly with the exception of the throttle (I use it for collective) and trim (I use joybutton 3). Trim is displayed as joybutton3 in the menu, and I have cleared it and reassigned it. However it will still not work in actual gameplay.

 

I also don't see a "Controllers" tab under the options menu.

 

If I were to start the set up from scratch, how would I do that? It seems that there is only an option to import and no "default" option.

Open your own(bs1) and the default dcsworld profile in notepad ++.

Then search(ctrl;F) the lines for collective and trimmer and replace these lines with the default ones.

At last you might have to set them up again in the options menu.

 

"program my collective for op/down"

 

I assume you mean inverting the axis.

 

Go to the option/control menu, axis tab. Select your control mapped for collective and go to axis tune(button below list). In the tune menu you can check invert.

Bump. Still haven't figured this out. I find it unintuitive to use the keyboard for the collective. I hate to say it, but I think I just wasted $24. Why spend money to "upgrade" software when it lacks functionality the previous version had?

To reset your controls to default, delete the C:\Users\<yourname>\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\ka-50 folder and restart the sim.
