WARNING!!! Latest Update 10/10/2018
« on: October 10, 2018, 10:13:52 AM »
There is an issue with key assignments being remapped. According to some of the posts on the DCS forums, it is easily fixed by shutting down and restarting. I could not duplicate that fix nor could I fix the problem by just reloading the profiles I have saved. The keys remain AFU! I will have to go in and remap several keys. I am assuming that this will be the case with all of the modules, not just the Hornet.  :angry: I am not a happy camper about now!  :angry:

Yeah, mine was also jacked and now I get some keys where there is a dark red bar on the specific line.  I can save it but the game won't recognize the input on my sick.  Better yet, every reboot changes what works and what doesn't!  Lame sauce. :sad5:

Forum threads are getting long about this subject so I will not update my game until I hear about the update that fixes the problem.

Nineline made an interesting comment about ED changing a bunch of the key assignments DCS World wide so that further down the line, these updates will be less painful.

I bet it more has to do with Modern Air Combat and the ability to play with a keyboard  :sad5:

MD, have you looked at any of your other modules to see if they are all screwed up as well? I was particularly annoyed that the profiles that I have saved were corrupted also.

Yep, Viggen, Mustang, Huey and Sabre were the ones I spot checked...all had odd stuff.  Saved my current Input folder, deleted it then configured the Viggen.  Hit save and it black screened and never came back.  I'll keep tinkering to see but I'm not really thrilled at how this went down.  IDK, I custom all my birds to be as close as possible to each other and save configs.  Reloading them doesn't seem to work now and even the manual config seems to crash the game.


Here is an example. The keys on my stick are not used anywhere else but here yet they show red.  I can edit them all day long but it still shows red and when you try and use said buttons, the game won't recognize them.

WOW! You must have really pissed someone in ED off! I have not experienced any of those red key issues yet, but I haven't looked at anything other than the Hornet. I spent a couple of hours completely reprogramming my stick and throttle. The MFD's were not affected for some reason - probably due to them being programed the same way for both the Harrier and A-10.

Some of mine in the A10 were screwed up also.

I noticed that once you changed key settings, restart your game, otherwise they will not be set  correctly

I checked my P-51 and Harrier and no changes there  :thumbsup:  The Hornet, so far, is the only one that has had any problems.

Sabot, yes!  That's all I needed to do.  I reloaded my Input folder that I had saved, restarted the game and poof, no more red bars and stoopid shenanigans.  Thanks ED :thebirdman:
