1.2.6 and force feedback

[Maxander]

Hello everyone.

 

Since i've updated to 1.2.6 i have a very boring issue. Keyboard and joystick keys are taking from 1 to 5 second to respond in the game, it's impossible to play.

 

But if I turnoff force feedback in the settings of DCS (Sidewinder Force Feedback 2) the problem disappear.

 

4 R's of fixing don't work.

 

Do you have any idea to fix the problem?

Thanks a lot.

 

 

(Sorry for my poor english)

Hello Maxander...

 

I have had problem issues with my keyboard and Joy too. But finally I solved it deleting the Keyboard.lua file.

 

For instance, if you have problems with HUEY you need to erase keyboard.lua file from user/savedgames/DCS/Config/Input/UH-1H/Keyboard.lua. (Make a backup first!!)

 

When you start again DCS world it generates a new keyboard.lua new.

 

The bad news is that you will need to reassign your keys, but for me it was the solution.

 

Hope it helps ;)

[Maxander]

I've already tried to delete the user/savedgames/DCS folder to create a new one, but I still have the same problem. :/

 

Thanks for you answer.

[GreenD]

:huh:

 

Do you have the same problem with the Sidewinder unplugged?.

[Maxander]

Nope, when the sidewinder is unplugged or the force feedback is disabled the game runs well.

[Katmandu]

I confirm, although in my case button delay is about 0.5-1 sec

[Maxander]

You have the same joystick? Or an other ffb joy?

[GreenD]

Ok. I don't know if you tried to plug in the Sidewinder in others USB ports.

 

I don't know why but I can't plug in my Sidewinder in a USB Hub. It makes that the game freeze. But if I plug in a USB directly on the motherboard It runs perfectly.

[GreenD]

Yes I have one and I love it and hate it at the same time :D

[Maxander]

At this moment i'm hating it...

 

@Katmandu do you know if it's a known bug of the 1.2.6?

[GreenD]

I'm using it with the 1.6 and no issues with.

[Maxander]

You're lucky. ;)

 

But now i'm stuck with this problem...

[GreenD]

Really I don't know, may be a conflict with another joy o something. MSFF2 are very sensitives about this. It's sounds that probability you need to reinstall.

 

Sorry can't help you more :(

[GreenD]

Hey look at this!,

same stick- MSFF2, yes :)

@Katmandu do you know if it's a known bug of the 1.2.6?

 

There was a bug in earlier builds of DCS world that casued low fps when using MSFF2 (http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=103586), this was looked at and fps are no longer a problem, but this bug with loss of stick shake and button delay has appeared. Bugs are inevitable in a complex evolving software but hopefully we'll get a solution in the next patch.

[Maxander]

Thanks to help me PeterP and all others. :)

@Katmandu, I hope this problem will be solved before the 1.2.7 :/

Edited September 10, 2013 by Maxander

[gavagai]

I see katmandu posted my thread above.

 

Just now I was able to squash the input delay by removing my keyboard and joystick lua files and rebuilding from the default lua, as Peter P describes. Still no stick shake with 1.2.6, but this is a big improvement.

Edited September 10, 2013 by gavagai

[Maxander]

To remove the input delay I just have to uncheck the force feedback in settings. But it is not normal, then the joystick is "flabby", this is notsuitable to fly...

Agreed, that is not a solution. Try this:

 

remove the old joystick and keyboard lua files from c:\user\saved games\dcs\config\input

 

Open the DCS launcher.

 

Go to options\controls, click on the column for your msffb2 joystick, and click clear category.

 

load the default lua for your joystick. For the P-51 it was here

 

c:\program files\eagle dynamics\dcs world\mods\aircrafts\p-51d\input\p-51d

This procedure fixed the input delay. The stick shake feature is still not functional.

I tried this but actually i'm still at the same point :

 

Everything's working fine when force feedback is disabled, when i activate it keys are "laggy". :/

[martinistripes]

I have the same issue. Massive input delay with keyboard. I'm also using MSSFFB2. Funny thing is, I've been flying the Ka-50 without problems. I just noticed it now, when I loaded an Su-25T instant action mission. It never happened to me before 1.2.6. Something very strange happening there.

Sorry I couldn't help. Everyone's machine is different, so we will have to hope for a fix, soon. Like I said, stick shake is still completely absent for me, so force feedback response is still not correct in 1.2.6.

[Maxander]

Is it possible to report our issue to the dev or somewhere?
