Bearfoot Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 So, is there a comprehensive reference for which controls are used by which aircraft? E.g., which aircraft require water radiators to be mapped as opposed to air cowls? Oil radiators, propeller pitch, mixtures, flaps up/down, etc. etc. It would be helpful to know when redundant mappings are OK, as well as for planning HOTAS for maximum commonality.
Thad Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) Salutations, Not specifically, as far as I know. Please check out this forum topic. It doesn't cover all of the current craft but It may help. Redundant mapping is a good idea where ever possible. Good idea to Make as many common assignments as you can for one input file and then use it for multiple craft. No need to constantly re-learn button assignments. Example: German craft have left and right brakes. Russians only need one assignment to brake. I assigned a left and right button for the German craft and use the same 'right' button for the Russian single braking system. https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/10268-chucks-aircraft-guide/ Edited April 5, 2017 by Thad 1
=ARTOA=Bombenleger Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 Planes with inline engines will have water and oil radiators.Planes with radial engines will have inlet and outlet flaps (sometimes only one of them) and an oil radiator.You can ignore the automated planes, so when you need inlet and outlet flaps you wont need water coolers so you can put them on the same button. 2

Yes, that's the idea. An overview of all a/c cross-referenced with controls would really help in identifying all these situations. The information seems to be there in the great reference to which you linked ... it just needs to be compiled! Planes with inline engines will have water and oil radiators. Planes with radial engines will have inlet and outlet flaps (sometimes only one of them) and an oil radiator. You can ignore the automated planes, so when you need inlet and outlet flaps you wont need water coolers so you can put them on the same button. Thanks! That is helpful! If only there were a way to get this insight for all the controls!
=ARTOA=Bombenleger Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) Thanks! That is helpful! If only there were a way to get this insight for all the controls! Well there arent realy any other controls that you only need on some planes. Mixture/RPM can never be reduntant even if you dont need them in most german planes. Coolers I already toched. Brakes were explained by thad. The only thing where reduntant controls appear are the trims. A plane has either vertical stabilizer or trims. So you can put trims on the same buttons as stabilizers. And other than that there are no controls i can think of right now that are reduntant. Edited April 5, 2017 by =ARTOA=Bombenleger 1

Now, where a cross-reference of a/c and controls will come in handy would be controls that you don't have to map if you are not flying a particular a/c. E.g., if you just fly Bf-109 series, and never Yak/Mig series etc.

Bando Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 Do you mean something like attached below? If so, I got the Germans as well as the BOM planes too. IL2 BOS CHART.pdf 1

IL2 BOS CHART.pdf Is that chart accurate? It's awesome! Would like to see the other chart(s) too. Great helper for new players. Edited April 8, 2017 by deleted@30725
Bearfoot Posted April 8, 2017 Author Posted April 8, 2017 Do you mean something like attached below? If so, I got the Germans as well as the BOM planes too. IL2 BOS CHART.pdf Yeeeeessss!!! +1000!!! But for all the planes!

Better is not bother with what is what. Just map the same buttons or keys for control both types (a given key/button can be used for more than one function), since their objective is the same, control engines temperature. So if (e.g.) keys "Page Up", "Page Down" control water radiator in Bf 109, will control cowl flaps in La-5, etc, without player need think about. Edited April 8, 2017 by Sokol1

Bando Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 OK, here they are: IL2 BOM GERMAN CHART.pdf IL2 BOM RUS CHART.pdf IL2 BOS GERMAN CHART.pdf IL2 BOS RUS CHART.pdf The BOK aircraft will have to wait until the plane set is complete. Mind you, this is not my work alone, more people have contributed to this data-sheet in the last couple of months (years actually). I'm not allowed to send them as XLS files, so PDF will have to do, but if you want I can email (via PM) the XLS files so you can edit this yourself. 3
dburne Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 OK, here they are: Excellent, thank you so much! This will really help me get re-acclimated to the Yak-1
