Device mapping settings

[Redglyph]

Hello,

 

I'm trying to set up my joystick controls for the first time in IL2 BoM, and guessing my way through how it works in the absence of a manual.

 

If found out I had to go into the "key mapping" settings to add joystick / throttle / rudder controls, and not in "input devices", which may seem counter-intuitive, but OK so far.

 

From the start menu, I can map for example the throttle axis to the throttle control (HOTAS throttle in my case, see sig), but it appears to be reversed, I have to push it for the throttle to be pulled to minimum in the game. I haven't found how to reverse it yet.

 

From the game itself, I can reach the same menu (sometimes a glitch makes it disappear), but I can't tune the axis: if I click on the tuning icon, from the "key mapping" table, I get to see the tuning screen but if I move my throttle it has no effect, nothing moves on that screen.

 

I'm going on trying to guess how it works, but so far it seems there are a few problems.

 

I think it's version 16-10-18 (from files I found in the installation directory).

In front axis name (joy#_axis#) has a small box with curved arrow - above the "X" - click in this arrow, when highlight the axis response became inverted.

Ah yes, spotted it, thanks a lot! 

 

Otherwise it seems random, sometimes it's inverted, sometimes not.
