BobCee123 Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Good day all I'm using the CH HOTAS setup (Fighterstick, Pro Throttle & Pedals) with TrackIR. I'm just getting back into A10C after about 9 months away from it, and have updated to 1.2.6 Update 3. I'm using Ken 'Ghost' King's profile in CH Control Manager. I've also added the HOTAS Button assignments in Options/Controls, as per Ken's instructions and saved the LUA file within DCS. A while ago, I never had to download the profile via CH Control Manager every time I started my PC, before using DCS, but now it seems if I don't, I lose HOTAS control when starting a mission. If I forget to do this before opening DCS, when starting a mission I have created, I have no throttle control & no roll axis on my stick but I have pitch axis and rudder control. The thing is that if I exit DCS and open CH Control Manager then open DCS again, the mission I created appears permanently broken, in that I can never regain proper HOTAS control in that mission no matter what, even if I shut down the PC, open Control Manager and then open DCS. However, if I create a brand new mission, I've got full HOTAS control, as long as I've already downloaded the profile to my HOTAS via CH Control Manager. But let me forget this one time :doh: and that brand new mission I created from scratch will never again allow me HOTAS control, even if I exit and go through all of the required motions. Is this a known issue? For now I'm just being careful to remember to open Control Manager and download the profile each time I start up the PC. It's just that I never used to have to jump through all these hoops each time I wanted to fly, and it's a bit tedious having to create new m Simons from scratch each time I forget to to use CH Control Manager each time I start the PC. Does the TM Warthog have such issues? Thanks Bob
BobCee123 Posted October 27, 2013 Author Posted October 27, 2013 Well, guess who just announced to the world that he's been using the quick-start-up shortcut all along.....At least I think that's what it was. But I do remember sometimes that sometimes when operating the wheel-brakes or rudder, the joystick would move. I was also not seeing any movement of HOTAS buttons like the boat-switch etc, which I now managed to get moving It does appear that my issue was mostly because I was practicing cold-starts and the flight controls don't move normally in a cold dark cockpit, but i can't help feeling there were some other intermittent issues afoot. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
