Gladiator joy stick keystrokes no longer work...can I get it back working again?

[Blitzen]

This is probably a self -inflicted wound ...but....recently I installed CH rudder pedals & all went well, but yesterday at game start I was given several choices for joystick install.It appeared as if my default was the KB Gladiator joy stick so I didn’t do anything.In game play nothing involving the joystick worked.I checked keystrokes in Controls & found all my choices were still there but just wouldn’t work until or unless I re-entered them. This is quite a task...is there any easier way to get them back up & working in my VR Steam install? Thanks!

Sounds like your controller id for the stick got changed when you hooked up the pedals. Not much you can do on that I don't think, hopefully it won't happen again.

Momentarily assign joy trigger (button 0 or 1) for  some not used command and take note of joystick ID, if Joystick1, Joystick2... or name if used - e.g. VKB Gladiator..., but don't hit OK button, is just for see the new ID, then cancel.

 

Open the file current.actions (in game folder) with Notepad and replace the previous ID (look in the file fo the name) with this new ID.

 

In a minute all buttons are work again.

I come up with Joy6 (!!!!) Wierd !My CH Rudder pedals that still work are in Joy2...Do you think I should still do as you recommend?

Found Current.Actions file easily enough but even using "find next" utility I couldn't locate "ID" in order to change.

The new "ID" for your joystick in 'Current.Actions" file is thi Joy6_

 

So in Notepad, in Replace (Ctrl+H) box type:

 

Joy#_

 

Joy6_                                     

 

Replace this "Joy# " with the actual joystick number - that no longer work, e.g. Joy1_

 

Then hit "Replace all" or do one by one.
