This map file is designed to be used with the “Natural Point TrackIR”. K-14 Gunsight controls are mapped to the FighterStick “Hat 2” switch. The X-4 Rocket control is mapped to the Pro-Throttle micro stick (see notes).

Mode 2, Bomber mode. This mode is themed for aircraft with bomb-sights, such as multiple engine bombers (up to eight engines) and including the Ju-87 / Ju-88 “Stuvi” dive bomb sights. This map file is designed to be used with the “Natural Point TrackIR”. Bombsight controls are on the FighterStick Hat 1 (basic & Stuvi) and Hat 2 (advanced).

Mode 3, Carrier mode. This mode is themed for carrier based aircraft. This map file is designed to be used with the “Natural Point TrackIR”. This map file incorporates functions specific to carrier operations in IL-2 1946.

Nice one

Thanks KG26,

Writing these CH map files takes many hours in them self. This just barely gives me a glimpse of the amount of work and hours the Daidalos Team has to put in for their patches. This is the 3rd generation, of these CH map files and I can conservatively guess it has taken in the hundreds of man hours to get them to this point, and this is a very simple program relatively speaking.
