Context Menu on a hotas

[MrSilent]

Good Afternoon Commanders.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, I've searched the forums but couldn't find anything to do with this particular problem and i don't want to submit a bug report and waste people's times in case its part of the update and i have missed it when i read the changelog.

Before the last update i was able to press and hold any of the main buttons (ie square,triangle,circle or x) and a context menu would pop up saying what hat direction i could now push to activate a feature ie push square than left on the hat to get the target panel etc it would also show me what my R1 and L1 buttons would do (push square and L1 to cycle hardpoints) but since the last update the context menu only shows my what is assigned to the hat it doesn't show me what is assigned to the L1 or R1 buttons. I have disabled and enabled the feature in the options menu but that hasnt brought it back.

(to be honest i pretty much know the keys off the top of my head the only thing i keep getting caught out on is the FA and silent running combination and as you can imagine accidentally going into silent running instead of flight assist off while in combat can be very painful and expensive )

Has anyone else come across this and if so is it a bug or is it something they have dropped since the change?

Any feedback would be much appreciated thanks

Having reconfigure three of those buttons depicted when doing a long pause on the circle, square, and X. Though the icon hasn't changed the config has. Thus it might be your problem. The icons depicted don't change to the new configuation.

MrSIlent - after 3.0 Update I have TWO Hotas binding sets in ED menu Option-Controls ..

My old one (customized according my needs) has name "Custom Hotas"* (or something like it). But apart from it there is some new one called "Hotas 4"*, which seems to be something like "default binding" (I'm not sure ... I don't know how it came to my PS4 ?? probably with Update ??). This one is .. how to say .. is quite simple/brief .. a lot of key-combos aren't defined at all. Thus if you press and hold those "main buttons" then context menu appears, but it seems to be almost empty - because those key/button combos are not defined at all = there is nothing to display.

For whatever reason this new Hotas4 binding got priority before my customized set. I had to switch from it to my old "Hotas custom" ... then I got my combos back and .. context menu gives appropriate info .. maybe this helps (?)

* maybe those names are not exact (I'm not at my PS now) but I believe you would understand ...

The area that states "Hotas 4" is the default, the custom is what ever you reconfigured. If your reconfigs gets messed up and you need to start anew, then click the Hotas 4, if you like your configs, and just want to change something then select the custom, if you choose the Hotas 4 after reconfiguring any buttons, it will default to the original settings.

OP- I've already raised a feedback on this one. The default bindings for the HOTAS were originally on L2 and R2 (and showed as such for me), with the updated HUD GFX in 3.0 it shows L1 and R1 as the additional hotkeys. If (as with LABrunnning) you have additional bindings on those buttons they'll show.

thankyou for the response, i realize now it is indeed this bug, before the update the context menu would show my R2 & L2 bindngs. I just got confused because the new context menu shows R1 & L1 bindings.

Btw i have been into the controls, and the only two i can pick is either Custom (t.flight hotas 4) or t.flight hotas 4. and switching between them two doesnt clear the bug. it is definitely the context menu showing R2 & L2 bindings, instead of showing R1 & L1.

Thanks "TheBigDavey" i was really getting worried it was something i had done to mess up the context menu, glad it wasn't
