I just reinstalled BoB2 with the 2.11 patch and run into a problem while trying to configure the controls:
whenever I click on a control entry to assign a new keystroke/joystick button the single mouse click is recorded as double-click, causing the sim to map the function to the mouse button.

I'm running Win764 bit and never had this problem with any other game/program before.

Running the sim in WinXP compatibility mode hasn't helped.

Any ideas?

Review this thread first:

Look at the controls section of the BOBII User Manual as well.

To review, you went to Options-> controls then keymapping and then you single left click the "second" column of the keys and you get a polling message and then you hit a button on your joystick.

Ok, problem seems related to my HOTAS Warthog. Whenever I want to designate a new function it automatically fills it with "a2_b15".

That is, as soon as I click on the second column I immediately get the confirmation message if I really want to map that function to said key/button.

Anyone know how I can get the Warthog to work with Bob2?

So you are changing key assignments and you are not assigning joystick buttons.

Something sound messed up. If you want set all keys to default and just use the default keys to start with.

Sorry, I have a CH fighter stick and CH pedals so I know nothing about the HOTAS Warthog.

You might want to posting at the BOBII forum at A2A and a player with a HOTAS Warthog can help out.

Thanks, Budddye1.

a2_b15 means "controller #2, button #15". What it means is that that button is constantly firing,
and the program is picking it up. It may be a control axis that is being incorrectly identified
as a button. I recall some people having this problem before, but I can't remember the solution.
It was a few years ago on the A2A BoB tech support forum I believe. If you have controller software
that shows all the stick functions in a window of the Windows control Panel, you should be able to
see the button in question being active. ...any possibility it's jammed on, or if it's like my
Evo, it's got buttons all over it worked into the decorations on the handle, and if you aren't familiar
with it you can be pushing them without knowing it.

...As long as you aren't programming joystick buttons, you can power down/unplug the stick and you
should have no problem assigning other key commands.

I got it sorted out!

I just had to press the desired joystick button or key before clicking on the function entry. It is indeed some kind of problem with an axis/button on my Warthog but that way I got around the problem.

Sim now works just fine with my Warthog, Saitek Pedals and TIR.

Thanks guys!

Just as an update to this thread:

I was having the same issue that Para_Bellum had. I figured out that with the Warthog configured stock as if you were flying DCS:A10, the switches are in the 'on' position: APU Start and L & R Fuel Flow. Setting those to the off position solved the problem with assigning keys.
