Throttle problem

I'm having an issue with my throttles, the left on is working great but the right one will not go back to cut off on shut down. I think I have them both set up the same. The right one dose come out of "off/cut off" fine just wont go back to cut off.

Are you using the Warthog?

Are you using a button detent for Idel and Cut off?

If either are true, make sure you are binding that key/throttle to "Throttle (Left or Right) - OFF/IDLE"

and not just OFF or IDLE

Yes using the Warthog.

Throttle button 30 Left throttle idel/off

Throttle button 29 Right throttle idel/off

did this just start to happen recently / did it work before last patch (18 Jul)... if so, did you completely remap your keybindings or are you using the prior to last patch.

If you are using the one from last patch, you should do this user fix:

Think I found a solution.

 

Short answer is a text replace of

cd38

with

cd13

inside your joystick and throttle's diff.lua file (%userprofile%\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\FA-18C_hornet or %userprofile%\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\Input\FA-18C_hornet)

 

More details to follow...

 

Edit with details:

 

The problem is inside of DCS World\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts\devices.lua, devices["HOTAS"] was assigned twice, probably a copy+paste error by a developer. The latter assignment overwrote the former, so the HOTAS was assigned the internal device ID of 38. In the new version of the file, the second one was removed (probably when someone added the NVG device and noticed that the cockpit device).

So anything assigned to the HOTAS with the old version of DCS would be assigned to cd38 ("cockpit device 38"). This also had the effect of changing other device IDs. So if there was anything assigned to devices 39 and higher, the .diff.lua profiles need to be updated to match the new device ids.

 

And to add... it would have made much more sense to just use device 13 for the new NVGs. Then backwards compatibility would have been maintained, there would have been no unused device id, and NVG support would still work.

If this doesn't work, I would recommend deleting the lua for your throttle and remap all the keys.
