Specter1075 Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) Hello all, I was really hoping I could figure all this out without resorting to posting, but Ive failed quite miserably. I have been away from sims for about five years, and it seems what little I knew has long fled my mind. I have a HOTAS Cougar and CH Pro Pedals set up and a fresh install of the older version of Black Shark. I followed the instructions to install the Cougar from Cougar World, and then went to CH's page to get whatever software was needed for the pedals. I downloaded target but havent done anything in it. I then downloaded Viper's layout for the Cougar, and installed it to the stick (I think.) In case I was wrong, at this point, in Foxy, I clicked "open joystick and associated macro file" and clicked on Viper's .tmj file. I then clicked download. Going into BS just to see what's what, I find the only input I have is the cyclic. No rudder, and no collective. In control panel (Im running XP), and in the Cougar Control Panel, all axis show up and seem to work. Returning to BS, I went to options, selected KA-50 game, and then axis settings. Under the CH Pedals column, when I select rudder, it sees and assigns 'axis z'. Under the HOTAS Cougar column, it correctly sees and assigns axis x, y, and z to cyclic forward, sideways, and collective respectively. Now, when going into the game, nothing changes. I still have cyclic control, but nothing else. If I leave the joystick centered, the BS cyclic remains still. However, if I press on the rudders, the cyclic moves and I cant recover it. From within BS, I completely removed all inputs in the CH Pedals column, but the problem persists. I tried deleting Viper's profile from within Foxy, and in its place installing the generic "games" profile, but everything remains the same. So, I realize that something is conflicting, and its likely my fault, but I am so lost right now, I need to seek help. Ive tried looking up fixes, but I have no idea what I am looking for. I see many issues getting rudder inputs to work, but all the solutions people enjoyed in the past do not work for me. Could someone provide me with some direction? Thanks very much. *** Damn, I just noticed the bugs subforum. Sorry about that.*** Edited February 19, 2013 by Specter1075
Yurgon Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I was really hoping I could figure all this out without resorting to posting, but Ive failed quite miserably. At the enrichment center we believe that if at first you don't succeed, you fail. Sorry, I just love to quote Portal every now and then. :D Now, back on topic. Returning to BS, I went to options, selected KA-50 game [...] In the Options under Gameplay, do you have "Game Flight Mode" checked? If not, that's your problem right there. With "Game Flight Mode" checked, the sim uses the controls as configured under "Ka-50 Game". If, on the other hand, the box is unchecked, it uses the controls from "Ka-50 Real". I hope that's it because if not, you've already done pretty much everything I'd have recommended.
