Help with YAP vs. Joystick/controller button commands

["Slick" 0]

So I finally got around to (6-years later) installing YAP1 into a fresh and patched (Oct08) install of WOV (I also have additional installs of WOV patched and modded that run flawlessly) .

 

My problem is that other than basic flight controls; I cannot get the YAP modded install to recognize assigned button commands from my controllers;   I select a function in the YAP  "customize" menu, assign a controller button to the event/command; once I start a mission and push the assigned buttoned; let's say landing gear raise/lower; the assigned button activates a different function.  

 

I've attempted to import one my "functional" WOV controller config files into the YAP install, though for some reason the YAP install will let me select the config file (ie "Slicks Controller") it does not recognize/assign those buttons to the appropriate functions once the YAP modded install starts.

 

I'm somewhat familiar with extracting and working with .ini files. Is this a .ini fix or?

 

 

Though the ability to play YAP modded WOV won't make or break my day, the topic title is annoying the hell out of me. 

 

Thanks for assistance,

Try import (paste)a control.ini set to 'Read Only, all of mine are and I've never had a problem since. Just a thought.

Thanks for the response Raven.

 

I'm looking for the control.ini..  I can't find it in a existing WOV folder  Can you point me to it (Flight, Controls, ?)

 

I realize that it will be within a .cat file

 

Thanks

I found the file and have changed it to read only..

The file I mean is a copy of your "Slicks Controller".ini set to Read Only. Mine is named Hotas08.ini and until I set it to Read Only the game kept changing it back to Default.ini

the issue is a file called

"AircrcraftObject.ini"

 

rename it, and see if the Default.ini (located in the /Controls folder -this is the file that stores your stick/keyboard functions) returns to normal

Wrench, you are correct. I just looked at the YAP AircraftObject.ini and the stock 08 patch one. The Yap one is the messing with the joy stick controls. (Actually it's missing control Data entries). Unless I've overlooking something else.

renaming the AircraftObject.ini did the the trick.  All controllers are now functioning fine.

 

Thanks for the assist guys!

Just a Observation, but the Yap 'FlightEngine.ini is not so good either, at least on my XP machine.

I never used either of those from them; just used the stock ones
