DMS Right issue

[Vordy]

Hi,

Is there a known issue (bug) with the DMS Right coding perhaps ??

DMS Right has to cycle through the right MFD pages, but it doesn’t on my system. I have tried both BMS Full and Dunc-DX .key files, but still the same problem. Next I’ve reinstalled Falcon BMS from scratch, but no change. Then I thought that my DMS switch is broken maybe. Not likely, since the shifted DMS Right function still works well. To be sure, I have tested with a Warthog stick on my Cougar base, but the problem is still there. Unfortunately, I am out of options now.

When using DMS Right in BMS Setup, it says “Button 11, DMS Up”. Very strange !!
Shifted it says: “F11, No Function Assigned” (in BMS-Full).

Does somebody has a clue ??

Thx Vordy

Never had any problems with DMS Right here, so don’t suspect it’s a (known) bug. If it gives you DMS Up when pressing Right, it sounds more like there is a shift in your DX buttons. This is the DMS part in the standard BMS Full.key (used with the Cougar).

# DMS/H3
SimDMSUp 10 -1 -2 0 0x0 -1
SimDMSRight 11 -1 -2 0 0x0 -1
SimDMSDown 12 -1 -2 0 0x0 -1
SimDMSLeft 13 -1 -2 0 0x0 -1

Thx Eagle-Eye. This is in my BMS-Full.key, exactly like yours:

#FLIGHT STICK
SimDMSUp -1 0 0xC7 2 0 0 1 “STICK: DMS Up”
SimDMSDown -1 0 0xCF 2 0 0 1 “STICK: DMS Down”
SimDMSLeft -1 0 0xD3 2 0 0 1 “STICK: DMS Left”
SimDMSRight -1 0 0xD1 2 0 0 1 “STICK: DMS Right”

DMS/H3

SimDMSUp 10 -1 -2 0 0x0 -1
SimDMSRight 11 -1 -2 0 0x0 -1
SimDMSDown 12 -1 -2 0 0x0 -1
SimDMSLeft 13 -1 -2 0 0x0 -1

How/where can I check your suggestion about a possible shift in my DX buttons??

AFAIK, these 2 bits don’t make sense together.
@Vordy87th:

When using DMS Right in BMS Setup, it says “Button 11, DMS Up”.

@Vordy87th:

DMS/H3

SimDMSUp 10 -1 -2 0 0x0 -1
SimDMSRight 11 -1 -2 0 0x0 -1
SimDMSDown 12 -1 -2 0 0x0 -1
SimDMSLeft 13 -1 -2 0 0x0 -1

Button 11 should be DMS Right, and DMS Up should be button 10. Can’t be device orders being mixed up, though.

I don’t think it actually matters, but are you by any chance missing a DX-assignment between 0 - 9?
Have you checked the Cougar Control Panel viewer to see if all the buttons are lit correctly when you use the DMS?

Thx for pushing me in the right direction Eagle-Eye. Problem partially solved. Binding TrackIR_Freeze to Pky-DMSR caused the problem. When I’ve rem’d that out in Foxy, DMSR works as advertised.

Then my next question is how to get Track_IR_Freeze on Pky-DMSR, without corrupting the unshifted DMSR ??

I did exactly the same for TrackIR_Centre on Pky-CursorEnable and here the unshifted CursorEnable works normally. I don 't understand the difference.

Eagle-Eye, do you have a clue how to solve this ??

Thx Vordy
