Reverse Key Bind

[Bear1]

If I have forgotten what a key is bound to, can I push that key and have the IL2 program show me the command to which it is bound?  specifically, buttons/switches on throttle control

Unfortunately no. DCS has that and it is a very nice feature.

If the same button is bound to multiple functions then an orange icon will appear that you can mouse over to see what else is bound to the same button. Just bind the key in question to anything, then mouseover the orange icon to see what else is bound to it.

Thank you DBurn.  I was hoping that I had missed something (else).  MSFS has that capability also, but for IL2 looks like I'm gonna have to be careful to write 'em down.

A DCS like key binding would be great for IL-2. What we have now is servicable, but the DCS one is more user friendly IMHO.

Agreed! What DCS does is pretty good. It helps a lot when you haven't flow a particular plane for a while

I don't write them down, I use this:

 

 

 

If I change a key, I line through it and write the new assignment next to the old (in pencil so it can be changed again).  I use an orange highlighter to mark those that have dual mappings just as a reminder.  IL-2 uses universal mapping whereas DCS you have to map each aircraft separately so you would need a listing for each for when you switch airacraft.  Example:  P-51 you have to use M key for mixture (weird), not an axis.  P-47 has an axis for mixture.  Plus a lot of DCS models are by 3rd parties and they are apparently not bound to use default key mappings.

I despised IL-2 controller set up scheme.

Huh???  Are you referring to the commands or the default key assignments?  My post was to point him at some editable documents where he can enter his key assignments instead of creating a list.
