Sometimes when I start ClOD Blitz my Ch Pro Pedals and Saitek Throttle Quandrant vanish from the axis and button mappings. Even worse, if I load my saved INI file for my controls it doesn't load the mappings back -can see the correct mappings are there under [Hotkey pilotMove] when I view it in Notepad. I then have no recourse but to remap the ruder pedals, toe brakes and 3 throttle axis. Since I only have 4 buttons mapped from my throttle quadrant it's not too difficult to remap, but an annoyance none the less. Meanwhile, my Logitech Extreme 3D stick always remains correctly mapped for the 3 axis and 12 buttons I'm using with it. This is definitely weird, as I don't have this happen in any other flight simulation games.
A few things that might have some impact.
- I'm running Windows 7 64 Ultimate and my Logitech stick is set as the preferred device.
- I previously had IL-2 CloD 4.312 installed and I noticed that under "C:\Users\me\My Documents\1C SoftClub" that I had two il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover subfolders. One was named "il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover", while the other was named "il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover - MOD". Since my most recently saved control INI files were in the "il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover" file, I cut & pasted the "il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover - MOD" to another drive and location.
- My user account is an Administrator account and has Full Control security permissions for the "1C SoftClub" folder, all sub-folders and all of the INI files.
- The userConf.INI file in the "C:\Users\me\1C SoftClub\My Documents\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover" folder doesn't have any of my axis mappings written under the [Hotkey pilotMove] header. I was under the impression they were stored there, but apparently (at least with my installation) not. The confUser.INI file in my "Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover" installation folder, also doesn't have any listings under the [Hotkey pilotMove] header. So I'm curious as to whether that's correct or an error?
Since I cut & paste the "il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover - MOD" folder to another driver, I have gone back into axis settings and cleared and reset one of my axis and then clicked [Apply]. However, the axis settings are still not correctly listed in either of the 2 userConf.INI files, so I'm guessing they must be written somewhere else, but where?
If any one can give me any suggestions as to what might be causing this and how to resolve it, I'd really appreciate any comments.
