Hello im new to this game and im just wondering why does the key bind reset itself after i close it? by defeault the control binds my throttle control with plane control like yaw and pitch so i changed that accordingly the stick woorks as it should but the throttle always goes back to default preset for the game?

MY Setup is vkb gunfighter ultimate mcg3, thrustmaster tca quadrant

What do you mean it doesn't work, in the sim itself you mean or it doesn't save it in WOFF Keys function binding program?

Remember to REMOVE the throttle from the other controller axis (i.e. the one that you do NOT want to use for throttle) too if both have a throttle.

it doesnt work as in it doesnt save my binding and its the default binding when i first started.

yeah i did that the only throttle binded is the thrustmaster.

I see the vJoy device on your list of devices. I think that's been know to cause conflicts in the game (can someone please confirm this?). If so, try removing it and see if that will let you save your configuration.

did that already i installed that after to see if it works with it. but no. like the programme recognuises my devices and it responnds to the inputs but it wont save, it just reverts to using the original default bindings

Could there be a permissions/space problem? The program saves the personalized configuration in the file: {your user directory}\AppData\Roaming\OBD_Games\OBDWW1 Over Flanders Fields\WOFFKeys.xca (where {your user directory} also contains your Documents, Downloads, and Pictures directories). Does that file exist after you've saved your configuration?

Two other things I notice: (1) You haven't mapped any buttons. Try adding a guns to your trigger button. (2) There are more than 32 buttons on that joystick. I didn't think DirectX liked having more that 32 buttons on a joystick. Can you hide some so there are fewer than 32?

Also I just noticed this posting https://SimHQ.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/4564099/vkb-t-rudders-mk-iv-issue#Post4564099. I don't know if it will help; but you never know.

As mandrews says, if it's not saving that's a pretty basic function, so something must be blocking it. Admin rights issue of some kind - try running the WOFFkeys.exe in Toolbox using right click "run as an administrator" to test.
Or the woffkeys.xca is marked as read only for some strange reason - check properties of it. The fle is saved in C:\Users\<Your Logon>\AppData\Roaming\OBD_Games\OBDWW1 Over Flanders Fields
Or it could be some other program blocking it, most likely Anti Virus. Try excluding that exe from the Anti Virus totally.

(.... and the link mandrews sent may be needed if you get it to save).

I have a VBK joystick and it works well, is this a new stick?

Does nothing at all work???

Maybe delete all other controllers for now, just configure one at a time. Do the VBK first and test in sim.
If no go maybe send the WOFFKeys.xca to our support.

I have a mcg3 base ultimate stick vkb. Whatever i do it doesnt change ingame the control are all default like i never changed the bindings, i even cleared all bindings to see if there will not be any input in game and still there was default input controls.

No idea we have never had either of those to use/test. As I say do the above and send the .xca to support.
