Logitech Extreme 3D

[Ronstub]

Hi, i am new to IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover and have problems to get my Logitech Joystick working with the game. Is there a standard Logitech.ini file which i can just load so that all functions are handled by the Logitech?

The game don't come with any "Logitech.ini" or other joystick brand .ini.

 

Just the "ConfUser.ini" that contain the assignment of two different (of unknown brand) joysticks, plus a 5 buttons mouse (IMHO -  not much useful).

 

You need assign your joystick axes and button in game controls for desired functions.

 

Or in Logitech software assign joy buttons to press keys assigned in games (in the mentioned ConfUser.ini).

Keep in mind that certain controls, like the much necessary

"Signal Ground Crew for insert/Remove Chocks" don't have keys assigned

Two commands are assigned with conflict in between in "Mouse Left",

And six assignments are useless:

"Select #3 engine" to "Select #8 engine" - in Shift+3 to Shift+8 - by the obvious motive that no plane in game have more than two engines. ?

Actually two have four engines... the Sunderland and the FW-200.

 

Although they are AI, due to the fact the AI do use many of the same systems as human players, it is necessary to have these controls as a potential in the GUI.

 

We will probably hide unnecessary controls in TF 5.0, and may also implement a simple controls option for those players who just fly single engined fighters.  This option would only display the controls required to program a single engined type.

If hidden # 3 to 8 engine controls, will reduce the convoluted Aircraft controls list considerable. The amount of controls related, without purpose for player:

 

 

Radio Transceiver Frequency is another purposeless command - seems related with something planed for Br.20 navigator cockpit but not made.
