All the buttons & switches check out & function so I know the hardware is OK.
When playing IL2 I can get everything to work except the camera change function. ie I cannot change from 3rd person to cockpit while in play. Or when flying a bomber cannot change to gunner view.
Does anybody else use the Hori with IL2?
Any info would be most welcome.
Or will it be a case of waiting for this PATCH everyone wants ssoooo badly?
Cheers chaps!

How did you check that the button is actually working? Can you use it in a different game?
It is strange becuause i don't remember anyone else having this problem with their ace edge's. Its certainly not one of the things that the patch was ment to fix.

And, Oh Dear itz gaz, I'd like to see you try to switch to your bombers gun turrets by going though the option menus lol

hey hows that controller? i know the 360 is different from the ps3.. i might get a hori flightstick 2 *looks just like yours* from a friend for giving him a game and jus curious if its worth it.

Too right it is matey! This is a fantastic piece of kit, cost me 164! I'd bite his arm off if I were you!

The target camera is controlled by a lower trigger on the flight-stick below the A (trigger) button. Pressing Y changes the target the camera follows.
If I remember correctly pressing Y on the joy-pad changes the view from cockpit-3rd person etc. So I guess I need to reconfigure the buttons, shame you can't on this game!
I can of course preset the view with the options setting & with fighters this is no problem, but try switching to options when your flying a B17 with 3 bandits shooting up your six & your bombing targets are looming!!
Does anyone on this forum use this flight stick with IL2 ???
The AV8Rwas great value but I broke it(rudder control) during the heat of battle!!

By the hat button do you mean the D pad button on top of the flight stick?
There are two D pad buttons. The second being on the throttle.

The camera change command is issued with the "coolie hat" button on the stick.

It's a small joystick on top of the flightstick that controls the view (i.e. look up, down...). The coolie hat if clicked will change the camera.

At least that's the way it works on my ace edge, which is a white hori stick that was issued as a special treat to Ace Combat 6.

Click the coolie hat...

That button function is and always has been the "R-3" button.
Press R-3 to change POV on the fly.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!
The click of the coolie hat does the trick! I wish the instructions had been in English as well as Japanese.
Thanks to
Juz1,Dr. Laplace & the rest of you geezers for taking the time to help me out!
