Joystick does not respond in multiplayer

[SubEclipse]

Hello all,

 

In an attempt to fix another issue I've had going on with my X52 pro, I seem to have created a new problem for myself.

 

In single player, everything works properly, in all jets, all mods, etc.

 

In multiplayer, the X & Y axis movements of my joystick do not register at all in any of the jets I normally fly, however, I jumped into an SU that I had never flown before and it works properly. Twist rudder and throttle are unaffected.

 

This all started after rolling back the drivers for my X52 in an attempt to fix an issue with the throttle that I'm experiencing, discussion here.

 

I have tried everything I can think of to correct this issue, including the following:

-- Removed C:\Users\<user>\Saved Games\DCS folder (started new game and recreated)

-- Removed C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Config\Input as well as C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircrafts and used repair to rebuild them

-- Uninstalled & Reinstalled DCS World and all modules

-- Reinstalled previous X52 drivers that I had been using

-- Tried in another Windows user profile (same behavior... wasted an activation :/)

 

I have to imagine there is another folder somewhere, which isn't removed by the uninstallation of DCS which holds some sort of joystick data that I'm missing, but I have no idea where this would be.

 

Any ideas you guys might have would be greatly appreciated.

Do you use SST or program the stick in game? When I was using my X-52Pro a few years ago I had similar problems and it was all down to the SST software. Once I uninstalled it and programed in game it worked great.

 

The down side is that you lose some functionality IIRC the micro mouse doesn't work but I just reassigned slew to another hat and modifier. It was worth it in the end due to the frustration of trying to get SST to work.

Are you using Game mode or Simulation?

@Sarge55

Yes, I have everything programmed using SST... I'd hate to have to rebind in DCS, but I went ahead and uninstalled SST anyways and this did not fix the problem.

I use SIM in the P-51D, (but my P-51D doesn't seem to be affected by the issue), but also, half of my FC3 jets (F-15C, SU-27, etc) are having the issue. SU-25T is unaffected (which I assume is in Sim mode, and a couple of the Migs don't seem to have the problem).

I've just about talked myself into formatting. Never fun, but it could be worse.

Went ahead and formatted the PC... problem solved.
