User troubleshooting: Throttle step position won't move #618

Closed patton610 closed 11 months ago

patton610 commented 11 months ago

Upon first use of the a4 in while but still the most recent version, the throttle will not ignite or move from the off position . In the past, right and left clicks advanced and regressed the throttle until the regular axis could be used.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: launch from cold start and proceed through start up procedure

Expected behavior ignition

Software Information (please complete the following information):

Additional context I did make some changes to my physical pc set up recently, but since no other aircraft seems effected i believe this might be 2.9 related.

if you have not used the module in a while or upgraded, you might need to reset your control bindings. clear them out and give it a new go.

patton610 commented 11 months ago

I.... don't know what is up. I installed the aircraft again using a fresh install and there isn't any change. The hotas bindings don't work. The keyboard default bindings don't work. this is the only aircraft that I am having this issue with. I could understand if the 2.9 update had led the clickpit to malfunction due to resolution changes, but the keyboard binding isn't working. this issue seems isolated to the throttle. I have no other controllers connected that might conflict. all the other switches and axes work. I am using a cold start prebuilt scenario might try to build my own mission and see if that helps.

no change going to delete everything again and restart

patton610 commented 11 months ago

second install new , no throttle function is it possible that the code in some way is corrupted or maybe not interacting with dcs? maybe dcs is bad? everything else is fully functional though. all other modules etc

callmepartario commented 11 months ago

did you clear your input bindings as i suggested?

patton610 commented 11 months ago

i cleared and then tried multiple input combinations. only thing left is is to delete the binding file itself. it is something beyond the stick as the keyboard inputs dont work either

callmepartario commented 11 months ago

yes, please, do that.

patton610 commented 11 months ago

I am out of ideas i vaguely remember input config files being in the dcs install location somewhere , but ive yet to find anything specific to the A-4E-C and ive deleted the input files in the saved games folder multiple times. Unless there is a hidden file or undocumented conflict .... I dont know. I use viacom pro, srs I have some mod aircraft but none that are listed in the known issue list.

Just to confirm, your throttle axis is all the way back before you're trying to click on the throttle handle right? Clicking on it won't work if your throttle axis input is greater than 0

patton610 commented 11 months ago

It should be set to zero by default. currently I am waiting on some parts for a vkb throttle module so I have been using an encoder wheel on my stick. but as i understand it they are read as rapid key presses so, I should be able to use anything other than an axis binding with the physical control. i'll try to zero it next test

Drofseh commented 11 months ago

I recommend opening the Controls Indicator so you can see the exact position of each axis. RCTRL+ENTER

if you have continued issues with this after resetting your bindings, please join the A-4E-C discord (see https://08jne01.github.io/community-a4e-c/ ) for some live tech support and troubleshooting. i'm confident we can sort things out.
