SF2NA unresponsive Controls (with Joystick) - FIX

SOLUTION:

This mod is based on SF2NA ExpPack

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

When SF2NA came out TK messed up the controls.ini file so it doesn't match what the in-game controls show.

He released a fix but it not works for all Joysticks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So on this page (Link below) you have explanation what to do - by user "iahn755" he explained all well:

 

 

You need manually to edit - to place a name of your controller in "Controls".ini

this usually fix the problem

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

Play & Enjoy

@Muesli The numerous downloads are because this one is split into several files. Just like ODS 30AE is comprised of 4 different files to download, the counter is at least 4 times higher than it should be (not counting failed downloads which are restarted). It doesn't mean that 500 different users downloaded it, just like it doesn't mean that ODS 30AE was downloaded by 6,000 users (in fact, I bet the real number should be in the hundreds, not even the thousands). The download counter probably is the most useless of the stats, it's not a counter about how many users actually downloaded it, it's a number of how many times the download button was clicked (and with mods being split into 6 or 7 parts, it's easy to get a higher number out of a single user downloading it).

As for the quality of this package, I agree it's not decent, but the author has respected the site's rules and the modders' wishes (even by compiling one of the most detailed credits list I ever saw). It can only improve over time after suggestions and after the author learns more about modding other aspects of the game. You're free to give a negative review, but please do so without being offensive, or it may have the opposite effect of making other users curious and download what you think shouldn't be downloaded. I'd rather have a messed up mix of mods including other modders' works in here, rather than seeing our own works being re-released elsewhere without consent.

Clear...

Removed my earlier posts not to offend anyone.
However I will state again that the overall quality and workmanship of this "mod" is miles below decent.
Do NOT recommend... at all!

This mod does need a lot of improvements, but I think the author's attempt to make an operational anti-aircraft missile system is a new idea. As a user, I think the author's creativity should be encouraged. At least I think this mod is more valuable than those fictional aircraft that fill the download page. Maybe you, as a mod maker, have every right to criticize the author without personal attacks, but as an ordinary player, I think only by encouraging more creators, giving them confidence and encouragement, and effective suggestions, can we inspire the enthusiasm of more mod makers.

Not being allowed to openly (and honestly) criticize is almost the same as censorship. Criticism in all its forms is a lesson to improve... 
Keeping my mouth shut or tempering my words? That will allow for crap to endure, with no chances of improving. CA has so many great mods, we are obliged to keep all content under scrutiny. Forcing silence is forcing decline, and I am NOT here to please people and praise them for mediocre or bad work...

not my site (ownership) and im all about freedom of expression.

but i do agree that we need to work with the young bloods starting on this as well. so one could talk directly to him first, then put on blast if he's not willing to try to change (which he actually is, although lessons are admitedly moving slowly)

if you tried talking to him before public posting then i completely unequivocally support it. even if you didnt i support your right to bitch in comments, although i might wonder about the content.

and i admit, i left this mod alone until i saw you bitch about it ("what's got that Dutchman riled up so bad?" ). and again, im trying to give some suggestions to improve it (for starters credits and scope)

I think as a Chinese, I am more familiar with the censorship system than you are, and I also know more about the harm of censorship (this harm is so serious that I have to use VPN to access the international Internet). I don't think your right to criticize the author should be hindered (except for personal attacks). In fact, as an ordinary user, I can't stop any of your comments. It's just my personal opinion that we should be more tolerant of beginners. I think giving effective suggestions is more helpful for beginners to improve their level than simple criticism.
If my comments offend you, please forgive me. Please also forgive my poor English.
Again, I am just expressing my personal opinion, and I think this is also my freedom of speech.
