Tank Controls Issue

[bruckm]

Hello,

-I'm new to this version of the game so it's probably something I'm missing. It appears that when I have my joystick plugged in to my computer I cannot control a tank. No matter what key mapping I put in, the tank only responds to the engine controls. Is this normal? Tanks can only be used under mouse control? Joystick does work when flying.

-Also, while trying to figure out why the controls weren't working I pushed the "delete" key and now the driver view is to the left of his window. I've tried every other key and it will not move back. Is there a way to reverse that?

-In an airplane how can I lock the default pilot view through the front windscreen. Mine seems to default to looking backward. It happens at inopportune moments too.

-similar and maybe related question, when using the "mini" joystick on top of the joystick, don't know the right word for it, when I use it to view a different angle, how do I get it to release and go back to default view, forward? Back in the day, it used to work that way but I haven't played since probably 2001 or 2002. Somewhere back when Il-2 first came out on disk.
