VKB Stick issues

[Maineac1]

Hey all,

   at first my VKB stick wouldn't recognize or let me drop bombs.   All other functions good.   Played around and reset the game after spending even more time trying to get it set.   Guns/Buttons work.   But wont drop bombs and now flight controls wont input.

Any help is welcomed.   As I said.   I already deleted and reinstalled the game.

Have you installed the VKB software and calibrated within their software?

[Maineac1]

Yes Bolt.    Everything's been fine for a year or more

Have you tried a powered USB hub to insure your devices are getting enough power..

What buttons on the stick did you have them set?   I use the B1 (right side button next to trigger.)  but... to  select the bombs for dropping (instead of firing all guns only) I have button A2 to "select secondary weapon" to cycle thru the options of bombs, rckts, and back to guns...

So, for me, A2 (thumb) selects secondary ord and B1 (rt. finger off the trigger) fires that ord - no trigger involved at all.   the .salvo/delay functions remain the same.

If you had it for a year then its not a memory thing like I had. I had just got my VKB stick and I could never drop bombs..... turns out I was pushing the hat switch button instead of the "red" button I had set for the bomb release.... muscle memory 

You said you tested the buttons and they all work, the only thing I can think of is maybe your setting the buttons or are using the wrong "mode" on the stick. AH has 4 modes that can be used to set your mappings to different layouts in different modes....gunner, fighter, vehicle, bomber. Be sure your on the correct mode you have set your mapping on.

Go to the Options-keyboard  assignment in AH.  Check for the key assigned to secondary weapon  to make sure it is default.  If not make it the default key.  Reset joystick button.  This is just to be assure the weapon selection did not get accidently changed.

Check to see if more than one joystick button has been assigned to thee same bomb drop.  Make sure no weapon button has been made in VKB software.

Hope this helps.
