i know some games that have it, some RC games (radio controled sim.) and the MS flight sim does have it to,in an add-on, i think they call it FSUIPC or something like that.
Its very usefull to people who want to build pannels and stuff like that. I hope it includes that possibillity of defining the behaviour of all the keys...

Yes, it is fairly simple to produce a momentary pulse with switches using relays and I have done this in my cockpit. What would be really nice would be a button for the starter motor which has to be held on to keep the starter churning and then let go as the engine fires. This is done in X-Plane and it feels so much better than the toggle in IL2. Sounds trivial, but does feel so much more realistic. (Also, it would be good if the engine noise stopped at the same time as the prop stops turning when the engine switched off instead of running on for half a second with a stationary prop as it does at present). This is not a moan - I think IL2 is the most amazing sim ever and an incredible achievement by all concerned. Thanks.
