Keybinds for various controls not working

[armyhill]

Hi folks,

 

I'm running the Steam version of BoX and have noticed that keybinds for shifting the pilot head up and down or forwards and backwards does not work anymore, even if all the keybinds are set to default.

 

More seriously the keybinds for the water and oil radiators as well as the inlet cowling shutters do not work anymore as well. I have not ticked the auto-radiator assist and have also tried validating the files via Steam, but they still do not work. I've tried multiple aircraft from ones with adjustable radiators like the P-40 and P-47 to ones with only two options (open and close) like the Spitfire and Tempest, but none of the radiator controls work. Whether the keybind is on the keyboard or on the HOTAS I'm using right now they do not respond.

 

The only recent hardware changes I have made is moving from a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick to an X52 Pro HOTAS, but even with the X52 not plugged in none of the keybinds work as well.

I'm having the same problem with my X52. Axis are working fine, as are the fire buttons and slide on the throttle. I have been trying to set up the T1 - T6 buttons at the base of the stick and the rotary buttons on the throttle, with no luck. The hats on the stick for trim etc, don't bind either.

 

I have checked to see if the buttons/hats etc are working on the HOTAS itself and all are lighting up, so not a hardware issue.....

 

Damn frustrating to say the least.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

It's hard to determine whether the issue is a bug in the game or hardware related (or maybe both) because the T1-T6 buttons on my stick work, but like you the rotary buttons on the throttle and the base of the throttle don't work as well. I can set them as keybinds in the settings, but when it comes to actually using them they don't really do anything.

 

I'm also not sure if it's a bug with the game because I just did a fresh install of BoX with the original folder deleted and everything and have not plugged in the X52 yet but the same issue crops up still on the keyboard. One thing I noticed as well is if I have radiator assist on and then switch to manual radiator controls (L Shift + R) midgame, the water radiator immediately goes to 100% and I can't adjust it.
