OBS buttons bound to Warthog by default

[howie87]

Hi, I’m having an issue where the OBS buttons are bound to all my warthog stick and throttle buttons by default.

How do I stop this behaviour?

I am not and will not use TARGET.

you’ll need to map your own keyfile.
cougar is idenified as one controller.
so cougar users have MFD as a 2nd controller.

in WH, 2nd controller is throttle.
nothing you can do about it but fix it up a bit

you have Kolbe’s excelent spreadsheet to help you automate it with some useful presets.
head on there and your problems will quickly go away

Thanks, I’ll check it out. I just never got on with TARGET.

I had the same issue when I started programming the OSB, It over wrote the stick/throttle.

Don’t enable the OSBs in Target. I believe that was my solution.

Good luck not using Target

…I gave up on TARGET a long time ago.

How to do that ?

Do not Enable them in your profile

Thx

How I solved this ( I never used TARGET either)

Open up the keyfile.key you want to work with in notepad and scroll down to the bottom. You will see callbacks without the quotation marks and text after them. These are the ones that are mapped to buttons on your HOTAS.
Just delete the lines that callbacks for OSBs

You should make backup of your keyfile first of course in case something goes wrong.

Tried and didnt help at all… God setting up controls in BMS i terrible. Im fighting with this over a week ;/

Thanks! That did it.

Helped for me as well.

Not a fan of target either, but I have a problem trying to get the Coolie Hat to detect in falcon. … but if I set joystick as main… the coolie hat is not seen. If I set the throttle as main, they are seen as the trim switch. If I Is there a trick to this ? it works on other games…

don’t worry found the problem… only one POV can be mapped…

It happends to me every time I disconnect and connect my sticks and throttles (both cougar and Warthog) without a computer restart, as it will assign new Dx inputs to the different buttons every time.
There are two solutions to this I believe.
restart your computer after connecting devices and before running Falcon
or use Target and map specific Dx functions to the different buttons
Im not sure how the setup for the keyfile is but In curious if its one line per Dx or if they are bound?

Also happens to me using morphines, every time I reboot the pc it sems to reset? itself.
I have to unplug all the usb devices, and plug them in one at a time, really annoying

Deleting the OSB’s without “XYZ” just made all the controls say ‘no function assigned’ ingame

was an actual fix found?

I did what you suggested, but with no luck.
I saved a new keyfile without those damn lines, loaded in BMS, but in flight, when I press the DMS/TMS up/down/left/right, there’s always an action on the RMFD OBSs….
Any suggestions? Thanks

Check out your DeviceSorting.txt file? If the order changes, then it’ll mistake your HOTAS for other things such as MFDs.

That’s what it says:

{0404044F-0000-0000-0000-504944564944} “Throttle - HOTAS Warthog”

Are you using a target profile?
