Analogue v switch movements for move up/down/left/right/fwd/back

Spit40 · March 23, 2019 at 5:18 PM

I just remapped my buttons to control fwd/back up/down left/right and discovered a frustrating anomoly. I wanted to use a dial for up/down placement but found that as soon as I had mapped an anologue device to the up/down my left/right and fwd/back switches stop working. If I disable the analogue of the up/down they come back again.

I hope this is an easy bug to fix as the up/down works very nicely with a rotary dial.

Hi Phil, What move are you talking about? The camera view move?

Analog inputs constantly send signals, which means they have the tendency to overwrite any events by button or key inputs and even mouse movements. We used specialized code to prevent this from happening on some inputs like your throttle lever, etc. so that you can move it with the mouse or buttons and axis all at the same time, but this is not done for every single command.

Hi, yes its the simulation 'move' option. The issue is that i can set fwd/back to be switch operated but if i then set up/down to be analogue, fwd/back stops responding to the switches. i.e. They are linked.
