Virpil Mongoos CM2 grip - Brake lever axis

[Whisky-Walker]

Can anyone assist me in setting the paddle axis up for braking like in the Spitfire? When I try to map the axis, the sim only detects the button press signal.

The Spitfire only has an on/off break lever. Left and right breaking is done by holding the lever and using the rudder peddles.

I found for IL-2 best just to assign the paddle break to a button rather than trying to set an axis. It operates very similarly anyway.

No, that's not the case. You can apply gradual braking like in planes with toe brakes.

I got this to work by going into the Virpil software and deleting the logical button assigned to the physical button (in this case, the lever). It will still show a physical button press when you pull the lever but there will not be a logical button. This way Windows and Il-2 will only register the axis.

Or can leave assigned the button, then close the game go to game data/input folder and edit the Global  (Global.Action) file, replace the button number  by the axis name.

 

Will have this

 

rpc_wheel_brakes,                            joy#_B##                                      0| // 0| // Wheel brakes

 

 

Replace by

 

rpc_wheel_brakes,                            joy*_axis_*,                                    0| // 0| // Wheel brakes

 

# ## joy number and button number dependes on your hardware

 

* * joy number and axis name depends on your hardware
