Dogft swicth after U2
-
My dogft swith works fine in setup page but in game it has no effect. This happened after U2. Is there any fix to that?
-
Same here. Same issue.
However, pressing the [D] button on the keyboard works fine. -
Could you be a bit more specific? What sort of Dogfight switch are we talking about here? Warthog? Cougar? Or something else. Are you referring to the self cancel option in the config panel perhaps?

I can only speak for myself, not for Alfred.
(Sorry for “hi-jacking”!)But I use an X-55 Rhino.
A two-way-switch on the throttle which jumps back after pressing.
Up activates DGFT, down activates MRM.
MRM has always been working correctly.
No self-cancel option acticated.A few minutes ago, I went to the Launcher-Key-Assign section,
double-clicked the “DGFT” entry, deleted the DX function and assigned it again.
Jumped into a quickstart flight and tested - seems okay now.Alfred, I would recommend you to try the same.

@Amadeus75 There is a self canceling option in the config panel but its probably more suited to a three position switch like the Warthog & Cougar, that automatically sets the middle position to cancel the Dogfight or MRM mode.
If you’ve worked out a solution for your HOTAS then that’s all that matters too, good job!

cougar throttle with TUSBA, it worked perfect before but only with U2 the Dogft switch does nothing in the game but keyboard works as mentioned above. I am not referring to the 1 to 0 change for cancel.

@Alfred Have you set your Dogfight and MRM switches in the Launcher > KEYMAPPING?
-
I’ll check, it could very well be that

I am seeing like this, every switch has blank in front of it. The speed brake, for example, is like the Dogft with nothing showing but unlike the Dogft the speed brake does work in the game.

Pretty sure AL used to have a checkbox corresponding to g_bHotasDgftSelfCancel? I don’t see it anymore in latest 4.37.2 (AL 2.3.x)
Check your cfg files, and ensure it’s set appropriately.
Or maybe it’s been deprecated – in favor of using AL to bind separate press- and release-callbacks. (onPress: do SimSelectSRMOverride; onRelease => do SimDeselectOverride)
(Not sure.)

If you double-click that line, what does it show then?

I get this which is exactly the same as the speed brake

@Alfred
Wow, that’s not much…How does ist react if you just tried to add your desired DX there? Will it be saved?
In my window, it reads:
“D; JOY 5 DX 28;” -
@Alfred I’m assuming that your keyfile in the set up page is pointing to the same keyfile as you have in the launcher. If you have a backup copy of your keyfile from update 1, you could try renaming that to BMS - Auto and see if that solves your issue.
Otherwise I’d re-map all your switches on your stick & throttle using only the Launcher and make sure you have the check box above the “LAUNCH” button unchecked while you are making changes. Sounds tedious but at least you’ll know that every thing is set correctly.
I have my own layout for my Warthog that I use for doing this but there is a guide in the HOTAS folder for the X-52.

“D; JOY 5 DX 28;”sorry I just learned how to do it. It is indeed saved & read s like this:

ok I found out that even the keyboard doesn’t work with dogfight. I press D & the dogfight screen comes but once I release the key the screen goes back to Nav again! I can swear that this happened before a while ago. If you happen to know what the pathology is please let me know.
-
@Alfred In the launcher, go to the configurator and turn OFF the option under hardware section:
Dogfight/missile overide self-cancel -
@Revientor thank you for the answer, yes it works with the keyboard . I still have the problem with Dgft switch on the cougar throttle. This is U2 issue, never had it before. Also on graphic the full screen never gets saved no matter.
-
@Alfred My hotas cougar is working perfect with update 2
And the graphic thing that you say… wheird… may be it worth it to reinstall bms…
