Master Mode toggle on Button 5 not working

[Emacs]

Hi there,

 

I‘m using a TM Warthog Hotas with TPR rudder and TrackIR 5.

The whole setup works like a charm for all DCS planes I own.

When the A-10-II arrived, they mappings were a mess, so I removed all Hotas buttons and axis and re-assigned them.

That worked fine except for one thing: I can assign the Master Mode toggle function to the TM joystick button 5 - which is where it should be. Assigning it in the controls settings works fine, button 5 is recognized when I press the button.

But in-game button 5 doesn‘t do anything. It‘s not switching the master mode.

When I go back to settings and assign another button (i.e. button 4) to master mode toggle it works. Button 4 can switch master modes in-game once assigned. Button 5 can‘t.

 

I have absolutely no idea what might be causing this.

Any ideas or suggestion?

 

Can I remove the button assignment file completely and start anew?

 

Cheers,

I cannot reproduce your problem, JOY_BTN5 works fine on the A-10C II. But I have made a lot of mods so my setup is not representative. Your problem sounds suspiciously like an override from UI Layer bindings.

Go to Options/Controls and, instead of an aircraft, select "UI Layer". If you see a command in UI Layer bound to JOY_BTN5 then that's your culprit. You can bind that button to any aircraft in controls/options, but those bindings won't work in the game as the binding from UI Layer overrides them without giving you any warning. I have removed all bindings to UI Layer to prevent this issue.

Button 5 works fine on my A-10C II. No mods installed. I'm using the TM Warthog stick and throttle, together with VKB pedals and TrackIR 5.

 

Maybe you could try resetting to default. Mark the stick-category and press "Reset category to default". Then create a new profile for the stick. It's quite some work to do, but maybe it clears your problem.

Thank you so much !

Button 5 was indeed assigned in the „UI Layer“ to some VR function. By accident I guess.

 

Works now as advertised :)
