I have a VKB Gladiator joystick. I have used it in WOTR before without issue. I have upgraded to Windows 11, not sure if that matters.
My problem is I cannot map button 1 for some reason. VKB software recognizes it as button 1. WOTR recognizes it as button 1, but it will not bind.
Also, if I hit my POV 1 to the left, my cannons fire and will not stop until they jam. WOTR recognizes the POV as a POV, so axis not buttons. Why would it fire my canons ?

Did you install Direct X 9 ?

Could be a clash between VBK software and Windows 11. What about if VBK software is not installed? Do other buttons bind OK?

Yes, I installed DX9.
There is no issue in other sims. IL2 BOS and IL2 1946.
All other buttons work fine.
I am trying to bind button 1 to fire guns only. In the pop up box, it recognizes button 1 is pushed, but when I click on bind the popup closes and on the right POV1 is highlighted in blue, not button 1. button 1 shows no command programmed. POV1 shows nothing programmed as well.

POV 1 being highlighted blue, after clicking bind might be a clue, as I said before, if POV1 is moved to the left, guns fire, and will not stop until they jam.

I am not sure about uninstalling VKB software. I need it to calibrate and test my joystick. I can't find a way to do it in Win 11. Also the software is used to program buttons beyond button 32.

Which version of WOTR?

On My VBK the trigger was button 12 which worked fine.
I wonder if the POV is stuck.

Maybe contact us on support WT, send your logs, and your WOTRKeys.xca file and screenshots of the joystick plugged in WOTRKeys, and as you try to configure, Step by step would be useful.
I have no idea what is wrong there apart from the possibility of the software interfering, especially as it worked fine before in Win10 ?.

WOTRKeys xca is found in C:\Users\<YOUR LOGON>\AppData\Roaming\OBD_Games\OBDWW2 Wings Over The Reich

Thanks
