Key Mapping Issue

[dixieflyer]

Good People,

                      I was a pretty avid IL-2/IL-1946 flyer from about 2000 up until 2006 or so, then laid it down for various and sundry reasons. I finally got a new PC, reloaded the sim, drug out my old Saitek X52 set up, and went to mapping keys. I'm having a heck of a time sadly. I know, I just know that I had my zoom-in/zoom out view mapped to one of the rotary buttons on the throttle, and my flaps mapped to the slider on top, but I'll be darned if I can get it mapped to that now. Sure, I can map it to a key combo on the keyboard, and that's how I have it now, but I really would like to have the zoom-in/zoom-out on one of those rotary switches, and the flaps on the slider.

 

What am I doing wrong?

Not sure about zoom, but flaps can't be mapped in analog axis (rotaries, sliders), only in keys or buttons, and specific planes has specific flaps operation - can be ON-OFF, 3/4 positions, incremental... depends on plane.

Thanks Sokol1, I figured there might be a difference between the ancient sim and the current iteration. Thanks!
