Title: Weird cougar problem in AH
Post by: jaus on June 17, 2002, 09:14:35 AM

I just upgraded from w98 to xppro on my machine, no hardware changes.

My cougar view system was working fine on AH with w98.  Now that I have xp set up when I load my AH profile for the cougar my right_front and left_front views always are up_45 views in AH.  When I hit the 'up' key nothing changes.

The programming in the profiles uses logical programming with dx buttons (set in AH) but a profile that uses the same logical programming but with keypad keys (and no dx buttons set in AH) produces the same result.

All other views act as before. I get level views until I add the 'up' key then I get the up_45 view.

What could be going on? AH is a fresh install on this machine. Everything else in the profile seems to be ok , just these two views are messed up.

Do you have a "shift" button built into your Cougar profile? Is it possible that if you have a switch mapped to something like that you have hit it and do not realize what has happened.

Is your forward hat push supposed to give you a forward_yp view, and if so, are you using the "forced corners" macro?

The above would exhibit behaviour similar to what you're describing

Here is the part of the profile that does the views.  This is the same method posted by SOB a while back.  The DX buttons are mapped in AH.  All worked fine in w98.   The weird part is it only affects the forward diagonals, not the rear.


USE HAT1_SENSITIVITY (100)
