Controller setup not working as it should issue.

[Colmaniac]

Found this issue :-

 

Current control mapping`s were pre set mappings I have been using the last 6 months,  I hadn't changed anything.

The only issue was my rudder/brake quadrant wasn`t working at all, yet it was working the day before.

NOTHING on my pc or settings had changed.  First thing I did was use the windows USB controller to check the actual controls were working, which they were and also working in other games.

 

I disconnected all my controllers and just plugged in my rudder quadrant,  I had issues trying to map the rudder control and the brake,  the rudder was flickering all over the place,  and I could then still map the brake`s.  after a while after unplugging and doing a full reboot and cold reboot, I managed to get the rudder working.  But the brake pedals stopped working on the remap.  I did the same again reboot plugged/plugged.  also did a validation, did a full uninstall and deleting all the left game files, (over 10gb still left lol).  This still didn`t work.  There is nothing wrong with my controller as it works in windows USB and shows up as the correct controller and testing all the actions move fluidly.  After reinstalling tried to map the rudder again still the same issue.  The rudder pedals work, but again the brake doesn`t map, left & right.  I did try and test mapping to another control to see if it was a specific area mapping problem but no same on any setting remap.

I came with the idea to press the brake, then click the remap button, release the brake and press the brake.  For some reason this worked, where in the instructions it said to do the opposite press then release.  I had to then click the swap axis button to reverse the function.

 

After several hrs trying to figure out what was going on, sussed it out.

 

Again there is nothing wrong with my controllers, hardware, software or PC.  I tested on other games and they all work as they should.

 

The problem is with the games coding, and what is causing the issues,  yes I have in the last 36hrs used google to identify if anyone else had the same problem, and yes people have similar issue`s and a fair few still have unresolved problem,  some of the forum date stamp`s go back a few years too!.

 

The errors`s are in the game its self, wither it was due to the latest update? Prob as never had this problem before.

 

I found issues with reverse mapping the controller,  discovered setting the left brake the game set it as pitch up and down, and setting the right set the roll pitch!

I tried a few times to get it to set to what it should be and eventually it did.

I then remapped all the controllers and atm touch wood everything is working as it should.

 

Yet I do not know why reversing the brake control works when setting up normally doesn't.

Plus after remapping, going to each controller and clicking on the remap test button my main stick shows all movement function, roll,pitch.

yet going to the rudder and brake the functions do not show as working on the test screen yet they still work in game as they should.
