Turret Control?

[Seagoon]

Nobody replied to my previous so let me try this one. Can anybody tell me what the key binding is to control the turret of a tank?

Mouse control

Mouse control stops working with my Tobii eyetracker for some reason. Is anyone using one of these?

I could be done by using  JoyToKey. 

 

JoyToKey (or Joy2Key) enables PC game controllers to emulate the keyboard and mouse input, so that windows applications and web games can be controlled with your favorite joysticks! Whenever buttons and sticks are pressed on the controllers, JoyToKey converts them into keyboard strokes and/or mouse movements so that the target application will work as if a real keyboard and a mouse were used.

 

The joystick controls the movement of the turret. 

 

See images below.

 

I hope this information helps you. Happy tanking. ?

 

For it to work, JoyToKey has to run in the background before you start the game. From my experience, it has no adverse effect on system performance.

 

My FCS settings. (old).

Thanks, Thad, i had this one, but ran in a superb deal with a to-be-fixed Warthog set, and, yes, it's a little different ... 

 

By now i can get a tank to move, turn left and right, but i cannot move the turret, aim the gun, load it and shoot even a cow.

The hatch opens, but wont close though set to toggle wit a throttle switch ... i give up for now ...

 

ADDED: Just installed JoyToKey, indeed seems the thing for now.

Reassigned mouse moves and some buttons, but still have to figure out which ones from the warthog to set up. Complicated LoL.

Full joystick axes and buttons for all installed USB control for turret and firing should be handled through the game interface to make life easier IMO ...

 

ADDED2: i am on the lookout for IL2 TankCrew and a clever joystick layout for a Warthog throttle.
