Hold yaw-roll button not working properly with the xbox pad

Hello,

So I've stopped playing for a while now and when I got back on the game I tried to remap the bindings to my xbox pad the same way as before. But then I was hit with a quite bothering problem.

When I was playing before, I used to yaw with the L-stick x axis and when I needed to roll, I was holding the 'X' button to do so. So I mapped the option "Yaw-roll button" to 'X' and the button mode to 'Hold'.

However when I do that, it doesn't work. It doesn't do anything. I tried with 'X' and with 'A' and nothing seems to work. However, when I change the button mode to 'Toggle', it works, but I don't want to play that way.

I also tried to map it to the L-stick press button and to a keyboard key and both of them worked as expected ... So I really don't understand why any other button/key works, but not the A B X Y buttons on the pad ...

Can anybody help ?

the lost binds sticky @ the top of this pc subforum may help after backing up your current binding folder to a safe place of your choosing
remove it from the game directory(delete it)
this will create a new bindings folder and make the game default all controls to the beginning as if just installed try to rebind your controls like before after selecting default context prrequisite
you can always "plug" the old bindings folder back if it don't work just like a controls cartridge

Hi Strontium Dog,

I've read your sticky and I tried completely deleting the Binding folder from the %APPDATA%. The problem still remains.
I've retested everything :
  • 'Yaw-roll button' or 'Alternate controls toggle' with the button mode set to toggle : Works with everything tested so far (B keyboard key, L-stick press, L-trigger and X pad button)
  • 'Yaw-roll button' or 'Alternate controls toggle' with the button mode set to hold : Works with everything tested but the X pad button...
At this point, I am starting to think this is more a bug than anthing else.

Ok so after discussing with the support, I finally found out where the problem lies.

I wanted to yaw with L-Stick x-axis and to roll with 'X' button hold + L-Stick x-axis. You can do that with either the "Flight Rotation > Yaw-Roll button" binding ("Button Mode" set to 'Hold' by default) or with the "Alternate Flight Controls > Alternate Controls toggle" binding ("Button Mode" set to 'Toggle' by default, so needs to be changed eventually).

If like me, you are using a pad / controller and want to use a combination of A, B, X or Y button press hold + L-Stick or R-Stick. You need to disable the overlay that appears after 1s when hold those buttons. To do so, you need to go to "Options > Controls > Ship Controls > Miscellaneous > Enable Context Menu in Ship" and set the option to 'OFF'.

This trick will prevent you to have this bug.

o7 to you Commanders!
