Axis Assignment Problem

[snoopy-joe]

Hi Everyone

 

I am having a major problem assigning my HOTAS to the AXIS

 

My Specs

Windows 8.1 64 BIT

Processor: AMD FX tm 8350 Eight Core

16GB RAM (cannot remember what type)

GTX 770 

 

X55 HOTAS

CH PRO Pedals

Track IR 5

 

I have both BOS and BOM

 

My problem is as follows

 

When I go into settings to assign the AXIS the game only sees one direction

 

eg

For pitch it will recognise me pulling the stick back for pitch up, then it will ignore me pushing the stick forward

I can push it forward over and over and I get no input

 

I get exactly the same behaviour for roll on the joystick

I also get the same problem with my X55 throttle, and also with my CH PRO pedals

 

Basically for anything where I whoul want to assign an axis, the game only seems to recognise ONE direcion of that AXIS, and ignores the other

 

I am hoping that somebody on this forum can help me solve this problem - because this game looks frikkin' awesome, and I am super keen to get involved 

 

PS - Yes I know I am a founder but have never posted, but I have never really played it

I backed it because I love flight sims, and WW2 flight Sims in particular

 

I was waiting for a good single player mode to be made

With the latest DEV notes It encouraged me to buy BOM and think about ordering the KUBAN

If this has the potential for a good SP I will back it to the hilt !!!!

EDIT

 

I have been looking at my devices for a while, and the only thing that has changed recently is that I have plugged in a fancy keyboard

 

More information - a few days ago (when I was just running BOS, I hadn't bought BOM) my X55 and CH PRO and TrackIR setup worked just fine

 

AT first I thought it was the fact that I had installed BOM that had FUBARED everything

 

But now I am looking at my new keyboard

 

Apart from installing BOM that is the only thing that has changed in the last few days

 

 

I do not know what this "Unifying Keyboard" thing is doing

 

Is it possible it is interfering with my TrackIR, Joystick or Throttle?

 

I guess the next thing is for me to get a normal keyboard from somewhere and try it out

 

Good hunting everyone

You assure that you joystick is properly calibrated, testing in Windows Control Panel > Games Controllers (joy.cpl)?

 

Just test, dont use Windows calibration - use you stick program calibration if need.

 

IF are OK, in a give command, eg. roll click in the graphic icon in right side of the row and check deadzones, sensibility... deadzone can be in 50% or more.

Just to add - I use my X55 and CH PRO Pedals for DCS, and they both work fine

 

I will take a look at that video tonight Sokol1, cheers

Fixed it - although I am not sure what I did that fixed it

 

Will post the following in case it helps anyone else - although to be honest it is all just good housekeeping

 

Made sure Windows was up to date ( i had disabled updates when they tried to push Windows 10 on me) 

As a result I had about 70 updates to do

 

Updated my joystick, pedals, and graphics card drivers

 

Ran Avast and AVG which both removed what they said were dodgy files

 

Uninstaled BOS

 

Did a registry clean

 

Reinstalled BOS/BOM

 

After all of this - my input devices work just fine

 

 

Like I said already, the above is basic PC health awareness

I should have tried all of this before I posted

 

Anyway - BOS/BOM now works just fine with my joystick and pedal, I am well happy with this
