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

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.
