Asign same throttle button for boost cut out and WEP

[Yardstick]

I'm having a  play around with CLOD Blitz and enjoying some of the things it does better that IL2:GB.  I use a button on my throttle to engage war emergency power for the DB601 and after a number of hours flying the Spit and the Hurri discovered that the marvellously named 'Boost Cut off' actually is an emergency boost limiter override. 

 

Anyway, since the 'WEP' and 'Boost Cut Out' perform the same function but in different aircraft, I would like to assign the functions to the same button.  However, CLOD does not seem to allow keys to be duplicated.  Is there any way around this?  I thought I might be able to edit the relevant config file but I seem to have multiple CLOD entries in My Docs and Steam can't track down one that has been written to recently.

Hi.

Create a separate joystick profile for the spit -hurri.

Load this profile when flying those birds.

Keep your actual for the 109 and even better save it as "109 profile".

Boost Cutout is a different type of system than the WEP used on the 109E's.

 

So they are controlled by a different button.

 

As Badatflyski says, you need to create a new profile.... or just add a separate button for each type of power boost system.

Thanks for the responses.

 

I agree they are separate systems but they essentially provide the same function on certain DB601 and Merlin engined aircraft.  I am never going to encounter an aircraft that has both systems, so there is no reason why the same joystick button should not be used for both.  In IL-2:GB I have a 2 way stitch on one of my throttles assigned to link the turbo and prop levers to the throttle on the P-47 and the same switch is used for manual prop pitch adjustment in the 109 and 190.   The same thing goes for the elevator trim across all the various GB aircraft which variously use dials, electrical switches or for the 109 move the whole horizonal stabiliser, and yet can all be controlled by the same button presses on my primary throttle because they are mutually exclusive to each aircraft

 

The CloD approach just seems inefficient and means I have to learn yet more button layouts for new aircraft.  And this from someone with 3 controllers that have a combined 10 axes and over 50 buttons / switches, so it not the number of buttons that's the issue, more the need for multiple aircraft-specific layouts.

CloD controls allow use the same joy button for different commands, but require that this commands are in different category, in the case - Bost cut out and WEP; are in the same category: "Aircraft".

 

BTW - Is somewhat between IL-2:BoX and DCS since the last don't allow use a button for more than one command in any circumstance.

 

As advised above, rest create a profile for Spit and other for Bf 109 using the same joystick button for both commands,  since just take seconds for load the proper profile before fly with one or other aircraft.

 

BTW -As we don't live in a "perfect world" IL-2:Bo'X' lack load individual joystick profiles, missed specially by people that fly bombers.
