Mud Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Has anybody else encountered the gear lever randomly going up or down in DCS 2.2? I had it a while ago standing short of the runway while doing pre-takeoff checks. Then today I had the same thing again after being airborne for 1 hour. It's pretty frustrating, and I've checked my controller setup and nothing apart from the switch I have set up on my Warthog throttle is bound to the gear up/down toggle. So the only things I can think of is either a software glitch, or my throttle having a malfunction.

71st_AH Rob Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 is it bound to an axis? if so check in Windows to see if it is properly calibrated if so check for double bindings one may be an axis and one a button which can be overlooked at first.

Art-J Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Nope, have none of that. As Rob mentioned, sounds like a classic case of duplicated assignment or spiking input from button/axis. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

Mud Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 It's not bound to an axis. It's in fact bound to the autopilot 3 way path / alt switch. If none other reports the same here, I can only assume something wrong with my throttle. I should maybe fly some in 1.5 to see if I can replicate there. But like I said, I've had it after 3 minutes and then the other time after 1 hour.

flyco Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Check your dcs.log (it is written to the save games\logs folder after every trip). You may find that the USB devices are randomly re-initialising during flight. I have the same problem and have had to stop using my 2 & 3-way switches as a result. This is a problem that arose about 18 months ago, after the hot replugging of devices was introduced by DCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mud Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 Thanks for the info, flyco. I didn't notice anything in the log that would point to that though. If I have some time, I'll slap on two wing tanks tonight and see if the same occurs in DCS 1.5 Spoiler W10-x64 | Z390 Gigabyte Aorus Ultra | Core i7 9700K @ 4.8Ghz | Noctua NH-D15 Corsair 32Gb 3200 | MSI RTX 3080ti Gaming X Asus Xonar AE | TM Hotas Warthog MFG Crosswind pedals | Valve Index Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Orso Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I use the exact same configuration files in 2.x as in 1.5.x. I've never had any such erratic issues. I'd suggest changing the button operating the landing gear to something completely different. EG set 'Toggle Raising/Lowering Landing Gear' to <Space>, and delete any setting to landing gear from joystick and throttle. Then observe if and when something with the landing gear happens. When you hit the wrong button on take-off System Specs.

Mud Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) I just reproduced the problem: Started up the Mustang and let it run idle on the ground. After 15 minutes, the canopy starts closing and the gear comes up. Seems Flyco was indeed right when I look at the attached log. I think the culprit might be the Windows 10 EnhancedPowerManagement powering down the device to some extent, then up again which causes DCS to think it was disconnected. I changed my registry settings for the Warthog and will run another test now.

Mud Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 Update: Unfortunately the problem is still not solved. I had it yesterday after 2 hours in the air, and today 5 minutes after take-off.

Mud Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 I'm not sure yet if this is a solution or not because I have to test it more first. But I just did a two hour flight where I set the 3-way switch to the center (not bound) position after raising the gear. And it seems to be a proper workaround at least. Will report back here in case this is another dud :) Spoiler W10-x64 | Z390 Gigabyte Aorus Ultra | Core i7 9700K @ 4.8Ghz | Noctua NH-D15 Corsair 32Gb 3200 | MSI RTX 3080ti Gaming X Asus Xonar AE | TM Hotas Warthog MFG Crosswind pedals | Valve Index Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
