Hello,

I have just upgraded to Elite Dangerous: Beyond - Chapter Four 3.3 on Steam and I have a control problem now.
B + Left is the key binding for Ship Lights:

However, when I keep the B button pressed, I don't see the binding:

Moreover, the B + Left binding is not working!
If I press B + Left, the Ship Lights are not toggled.

Is it a new bug?

Thanks.
Best regards.

Hm strange i have a similar problem on Xbox. If i assign a new button combo it does work but its not shown like in your seconds picture. For me its just a graphical bug.

It only happens when I am docked.
See below, there is no problem when I am not docked:

It is weird because when I am docked, I am still able to toggle Flash Lights with the keyboard.
It is only a problem when I am docked and when I am using my Xbox360 Gamepad.

Should I report that behavior as a bug?

3.3 changed what you are "allowed" to do with controller bindings while docked on a pad. I used to be able to press B+Left to turn toggle my lights (for example), but since 3.3 the only actions I can take with the gamepad are looking at panels, using camera suite, and opening system/galaxy map. All other actions are restricted.

Note that any action restricted from gamepad activation while docked can still be activated by using a keyboard bind (I can still press "I" on the keyboard to toggle lights while docked even though I can't do it with the gamepad anymore).

I noticed this during the beta, but didn't report it because it honestly didn't seem like a big enough issue to bother.

My honk button was removed from the options in the controls and now does nothing. Seems it's only in FSS now, though 99% of the time I don't initially use it in FSS view mode anyway. While in FSS mode the button I used for the honk previously is already assigned to tuning left on the signal spectrum map... -.-'

Before reassigning and remapping a fair amount of the buttons on my controller, I'd be pleased to know if I can still honk while rounding a star piloting my ship fuel scooping outside of the FSS view. Yes, I've learned to kind of hate this game a little, since it seems to only try and ruin me with many of the updates these past couple years. The galactic sim is the light at the end of the tunnel that Frontier seems poised to snuff out at a moment's notice. Then... sweet silence and the relief of knowing I don't have to bother with the damn thing any more and can find peace in returning to Celestia space sim or some of the similar programs that have sprung up since.
