Hi guys,

Quite a straight forward request really. I would like to see an option to be able to remove all joystick assignments, especially when you carry out a fresh install. By default Prepar3d assigns the installed hardware the particular functions , which have to be changed because, for example, it assigns my rudder pedals as ailerons, and I don't want that. So a simple button "delete all joystick assignments" would be great.

cheers,

Kelvin

I DEFINITELY agree with Kelvin! I've done many P3D installs and I noticed that the X,Y, and Z of every game controller automatically get assigned to Ailerons, Elevators and Rudders respectively. So if I have a yoke, throttle, rudder pedals and throttle quadrant all three controllers have overlapping assignments and I have to remember to delete 9 axis assignments on every install/upgrade.

I do agree with G that it's not a big priority, but definitely a point of aggravation during installation/upgrades.

Hi Guys,

We have the ability to export and import control configuration files as xmls. So what you could do prior to a re-installation is to export the file and then re-import after. Check this feature out in the Controls Setup. This will set your controls up without having to re-do them each time. The file is saved in your root Prepar3D folder, so just copy it over to another directory if you are reinstalling. If you are setting up multiple simulators, as a lot of our customers are doing, you can just copy the file over into the directory and then import them.

In fact you can do this with all of the xmls to save your preferred settings.

Thanks John, so are you saying that if you export the xml file it will clear the default assignments and change to the assignments assigned at the time of export. I have noticed at least in FSX that even when importing the controls it still keeps the default assignments. However I have not tried this in the latest revision of Prepar3d.
