S. Low Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I'm a steam user and I downloaded the P-51D, Normandy map, and ww2 asset pack to try out before purchasing on sale. I've also downloaded the F-5 and the spit, if it matters for info reasons. Anyways I spent a good hour setting up keybinds last night and saved them multiple times. I loaded up the game today and not a single keybind for the P-51D was saved. The keybind list looks exactly as it did when I first downloaded the trial. I can't stomach trialing a bunch of aircraft if the keybinds won't save lol. Is this a re-occurring issue or is it just mine? :helpsmilie: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted April 20, 2020 ED Team Share Posted April 20, 2020 check you are not using game flight or game avionics in your settings, if you are you need to use game controls. If you have both game avionics and game flight unticked you will be using sim controls. Hope that helps Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

David OC Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) Recommend you play on sim. Turn off takeoff assistance. See that here Each aircraft has it's own key bindings. Launch a cold start quick mission and then hit escape and then (Adjust Controls) bind the controls. It will pick the correct controls for that aircraft. As seen here.

S. Low Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 Game flight and Game avionics are unticked. I checked my config\input folder and there is a P-51D folder in there with files. Could there be an issue loading it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody01 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I am trailing the Spitfire and had the same issue, a lot of guys in our squad complain about this with the Mustang. Could it be something to do with two versions of the same aircraft? ie: Clipped wing Spit and non clipped? P51D 25 and P51D 30? It seems to happen for me when I try one of the two then go to the other version, wipes all key binds. The Flying Kiwis - Since ages ago...

I was/am playing on sim, unless I misunderstand. I don't have game flight mode selected, and I had entered all my keybinds under the P-51D "Real" section. Regardless, both the P-51D "Real" and "Easy" control list have no trace of my keybinds. Take off assistance was at 100 for some reason. I reduced it to 0. Not sure if this would affect the key binds? To the other poster, I have no clue how to swap between the 25 and the 30 P-51. Maybe that's the issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Low Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 Yeah my keybinds are in the input folder. I just opened the .lua file in notepad and I see my changes. So why won't the game read the controls lua?6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Low Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 Ok I'm sorry but the P-51 is just unplayable, and this is 100% depressing. My keybinds did save for a day, but now they've reverted again. And they reverted after the game crashed twice while trying to generate a fast mission for the p51.... I don't play multiplayer. Your mustang, spit, and 109 are some of the most beautifully designed sim aircraft I've ever seen and they are an absolute joy to fly, but damn... keybinds won't save, game crashes, and beyond that there's obviously no real campaign. Frustrated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
