Wow, two weeks to set up the controls? Yegads.
Btw, did I see in your sig somewhere you have the new Warthog HOTAS? How do you like it? I fly with the Cougar, modded with the U2 NXT gimball mod and hall sensors, really like it and have been flying it modded this way since 2004. I have been eyeballing the Warthog though, I like it's looks and especially the fact, if I understand correctly and it works right, the Cougar handle can be interchanged with the A10 handle on the Warthog. But it would be hard for me to retire the Cougar setup as I have it now.

How are the control assignments in CLOD compared to IL2 1946? Would be nice to be able to use the IL2 profile for my Cougar for CLOD - if not radically different could use as a good base line anyway.

Thanks again, you have been a big help!

Hi Don,

First off, you can call me by my surname: Snapper. There's a bunch of us with the same mom who named us all after her pet tortoise, ATAG, but fortunately we each had a different father. Mom was quite a gal in her day.

My guess is that you would be happier to stick with your modified Cougar since it has the Halls sensors like the Warthog, but probably has a smoother action near the center detent with your gimbal kit. I actually removed the huge center spring from my Warthog joystick (there's a You Tube how-to; very easily done) and utilized the four small inner springs to provide the centering action. Not perfect, but it's much, much easier to make fine aiming adjustments now.

All the control assignments in CoD are re-assignable, so you shouldn't have any trouble reproducing the majority of oft-used commands from 1946 to CoD.

Make sure you join us on ATAG's Teamspeak channel when (and you know you will ) you log into the ATAG Server. As you can readily see, we're a HILARIOUSLY funny group of guys!
