Controls Not Sticking

This is normally caused by having copies in the binds directory. (It doesn't matter if you renamed the file.)#

Have a read of this pinned thread:
lost your binds? want hasstle free backed up binds look no further
keybindings can reset if you visit the control section without one of your usual devices used to play the game ie hotas , xbox pad etc not plugged in or at that present moment is undetected by windows as it thinks your just using keyboard and mouse it simply rewrites your binds for you...

Thanks Para Handy that was indeed the problem. Lifesaver.
Pop into the Jameson Memorial bar, there's a bottle waiting for you.
If there's a missing Device ID in a custom binds file ED will load a default bind. I think there's a report on missing devices in the binds files directory.
Been a while since I've had that issue, but I think that's where it is reported when ED can't load the file in the StarPreset settings file.

Ok -
1) which game are you playing (Oddity or Horizons)
2) what is in your bindings folder (there should be two/three files for Horizons, maybe three/four for Odyssey: Custom.3.0 for Horizons, Custom.4.0 for Odyssey, StartPreset and optional the BindingsLoadingsError. Remove/relocate (at least temporarily) everything else.
3) did you go through the Virpil setup procedure for each of your three devices (and assigned them individual names and IDs)? And ISTR that the throttle needs special handling (but take this with a large grain of salt, as I don't have that one): ED can only handle 32 buttons per stick. As the CM2 exceeds this limit, you'll either need to split it into two virtual sticks using the Virpils etup (was supposed to be possible at least at one time) or use some 3rd party joystick interpreter, I've heard Joystick Gremlin mentioned in this context.

1: Odyssey
2: Did all steps listed including renaming the file and in the 2nd line on notepad etc.
3: Set up and calibrated all 3 virpil devices, one at a time as per virpil and havok company videos. Plus trying with/ without vjoy and joystick gremlin. I removed GeForce Experience and such , because of possible issues etc.
4: contacted FDev and did a few other things they suggested. Ended up the same place. Missing or no reading of the files.
Since all this, I've Uninstalled all of it and am going to do a fresh install of all of the above and start over. Don't know what else can be done.

this slightly necroed thread reminds me of the one where after doing everything in the book he realised the lead that goes to the virpil black box thingy can plug in in both directions
but will actually only work one way...…….
good luck and stick with it (pardon the pun) most get it sorted in the end.
(just an xbox pad user myself)
just to add disable any anti virus etc temporarily whenever testing pc games just to ensure its not preventing any files you want written binds ect
