Throttle Axis resetting to rudder whenever I use my HOTAS

Hey all,

As the title suggests, whenever I use the controls scheme I have saved for my HOTAS, (for use in Sim Air) loading the saved config, restarting my sim, or sometimes even mid-match between spawns my throttle axis will bind itself to my rudder pedals. I cant figure out why, as the config was saved with the throttle axis bound to my X56 Rhino throttle. My rudder pedals are turtle beach VelocityOne and all drivers and firmware for the devices are up to date.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in Advance

same here. did u fix?

I have the same problem, I also have the Turtle Beach pedals. Whenever I start the game or load my control presets my pitch and joystick axis bind to the L & R Brake Axis on the rudder pedals. Did you ever figure this out?

Create a fresh profile with nothing (Just mouse and keyboard) and set your joystick up to what suits you.

Often the presets, whilst ‘easy’ are hard to fight against when things go awry. Add and replace is something to understand while setting up your controls.

Add will add that key to the controls and keep whatever it was bound to before, where replace erases that key from any other control, regardless of mode that it’s set for (air, tank, ship).

Always back up your profiles and be sure on what you set and change, so if it does clear out again, knowing you can do this is a lot quicker.

This doesnt work, every time I start the game the aileron and elevator axis reset to the pedals. Loading the .blk file again doesnt change anything and I have to rebind them manually.

The rumor is that if you have the game running and your joystick is disconnected you will begin experiencing this bug and cant get rid of it. The other rumor is that your control presets are saved on Gaijins servers and this is also a contributing factor to the bug.

The “issues” website is full of these bug reports related to axis resetting but not once has a GM responded to them. I even see comments about this issue on War Thunders Facebook posts…

It’s that prompt you’re getting when it wants to load the profile on startup. Cancel it.

Controllers, joysticks and profiles are a finicky thing, but it doesn’t mean they are a bug.

It’s also to do with how they’re plugged in.

I understand what you are talking about but it has nothing to do with the issue we are having.

This is a reproducable bug (don’t do it though unless you want the bug forever). Once you set up your controls and with the game running, unplugging one of your USB peripherals will reset your control axis to whatever is still plugged in. For example, unplugging your joystick may cause your aileron and elevator axis to revert to your rudder pedals.

I have tried completely redoing the control scheme from scratch ( without the wizard as you suggested) but it didnt work. Each time the game shuts down, the control axis are reset upon startup. Loading backups doesnt work, the axis are still reset.

Again there are multiple reports on the issues site for this bug.
