Bizarre Input Issue
-
I’m not sure if this is a Falcon issue…a generic Controller Issue…or a more specific CH HOTAS Issue so bear with me…
Having had my Inputs (HOTAS/Track IR/Speech) working well for a while now…I made the mistake (oh foolish falconeer) of adding another device…a Logitech G13 to emulate the ICP/DED
I thought i’d got it working…but obviously Windows decided to reset my controller order and Falcon 4 lost all my Axis assignments…so far fine and dandy…
After the usual un-intuitive dance I got Pitch/Roll Throttle Rudder Toe-Brakes and Cursor Axis assigned and working…GREAT!
Now what happens is that everything works great…BUT if I go to set up>Controllers>advanced and merely VIEW any of the Tabs (View Control/Flight Control/Avionics control etc) when I exit to the Set Up>Controllers screen…Falcon (whilst still retaining my axis assignments) simply refuses to accept any keyboard and/or button inputs from my devices at all it doesn’t register them it doesn’t show them activating in the control list box to the right…
Now exiting Falcon returning to Falcon doesn’t cause it to sulk and refuse to accept button/keyboard inputs NOR even does switching the computer off and coming back to it after a while turning on activating my Joysticks and restarting Falcon (all of which you might consider more likely causes of the issue) ONLY going into the Setup>Controllers>advanced Tabs…Now obviously you say…the easy solution is DON’T go into those Tabs, but sadly I’m guessing that this is merely one symptom of a deeper problem…which will presumably come back to haunt me deep into the middle of a campaign mission or MP flight (at a time of maximum embarrassment)
So does anyone have a clue whats going on?
(For reference I’ve got a CH FS/PT/PP and Logitech G13 controller set up)

Did you edit/use the devicesorting file in the config directory? That way you make sure the controller sorting is not messed up by windows. If the device sorting got messed up the Falcon settings for the controllers are reset. You have to do the dance all over, on all tabs, but then it should work again. Do you have the correct keyfile selected?

Hi
First time BMS user here and having the control resetting issue as well…losing all of my axis mappings every time i go into controller settings. I DONT have the file Devicesorting.txt to edit in my user config folder…its just not there, i looked all over. What i DO have is a file called DeviceDefaults.txt…I also tried setting up the controls and axis, saving them, exiting the game and makin axismapping and joystic.cal files READ ONLY…Still no luck getting axis to save…from what i understand i must put my ch products in order by editing the Devicesorting.txt file, but i do not have this file anywhere in my BMS folder! How do i go about setting this up?
Thanks,

RomanIf you don’t have the devicesorting file, you’re probably not running the latest version of BMS. If you are not in the middle of a campaign I recommend updating to the latest version in order to be be able to use the devicesorting.
A lot of mistakes are already made on the first controller page, not the advanced settings. Make sure you have your main controller (joystick) selected here and then don’t touch it anymore. Throttle and other are setup in the advanced tabs, so don’t change the controller on the main page anymore, it will mess up things.
