Thanks guys for the info and links

Yup am definately apply the changes to the axis, I go back and check and thye are indeed where I set them.

Must be my trim controls which are a bit of a mess and need to sort them out. On my old saitek hotas I think I used one of the rotaries for this.

Thanks Robert.

I am familiar with Joy to Key, awesome little application.
What am I mapping to it for zoom though?

Vlerkers,

To set POV (HAT) up for ZOOM in:



Same for POV (HAT) down, for ZOOM out.

Middle mouse button is default key for "Camera Control in Independent Mode", so JoyToKey pressing then when move mouse up (or down) the mouse cursor is hidden during the ZOOM.

You will notice a excessive ZOOM out that distorting the cockpit image, this is not JoyToKey fault, is game bug, happens using only mouse to ZOOM too.
Seem that dev's forget forgot to set a limit for this ZOOM out... "Typical CloD".

Alternatively you can use only HAT up to ZOOM IN and HAT down to reset view to FOV 90 (or 70), to avoid this "psychedelic" ZOOM out.

You could map this ZOOM with TARGET in Warthog throttle mini-stick, but some users report momentary lost of ability to click on cockpit switch if used.

If you map the same HAT left/right to move mouse left/right (as above), this plus a button for "Hold to Ofsett Camera" can be use to look at P8 compass behind control column in Hurri/Spit.
You can look using TrackIR, but this "combo" gives you a static view of instrument.

Sokol1, thx so much for that.
After being out for so long it really helps to just get the basic setups right (which take time).

Appreciate the input, thanks

Glad you got the info, Vlerkies. Nice explanation, Sokol, and thanks for filling in where I dropped the ball.

Yeah thanks all, been buzzing around in my trusty 109 for a bit now. Can't believe how much I suck considering the time I had put in in the past with IL2 series, but I am loving it.
