Help using JoyToKey for zoom view

[SharpeXB]

Could someone please help explain how I can accomplish the following task with JoyToKey?
I would like to assign the Y axis of my CH pedals to the FOV axis in the game. To do this I need to assign the mouse y axis to the CH pedal Y axis and also assign the mouse button 5 (mapped to “Hold to Adjust FOV” in the game) to the same CH pedal input. Hopefully then pressing down on the toe axis will zoom the view in and out. I have JoyToKey downloaded but have trouble understanding how to set it up.
Thanks

Can't you just use the CH software I think you can

I suppose it's possible with the CH Manager, I've never tried using it for anything other than calibrating. The trouble is, in addition to mapping the Y axis to the mouse, there's also a modifier button involved. I understand that's what JTK does, converts the axis on a controller to a button press.
Maybe a combination of both is needed, JTK for the button and CH Manager for the axis?

I set my mini stick push in action as the modifier as you call it, on my CH throttle. But you could use any other one that you want to. Using CH manager set the Y as mouse/name the map/push download/Windows will load the driver

i know how to do it, i've done that in fact. don't have much time right now but i'll get back to you.

but if i remember right you have to duplicate the 'Hold to Adjust FOV'; in joytokey you have to figure out what's the number of the joystick buttons that match the actual chosen to assign, then you set them up to mouse vertical up and mouse vertical down, using the vertical slide bars, 100% to maximum speed zoom, although i use about 75% to have more precision. also in CLoD key bindings map one joystick key to reset to the default wide view, at one press you're FOV home, comes in handy.

if you can't figure it out i'll help latter. and remember to leave joytokey running during play, or it wont work.

GOT IT!
It works great. I assigned both the modifier button and the mouse Y axis to the mini stick on my CH throttle, it works perfectly. It doesn't interfere with using the mouse in the cockpit or anything. It zooms in and out smoothly without using two buttons
JTK is a bit difficult to understand, to find out which joystick is which and how to assign it to only run when the game is running by finding the .exe file, but once set up works great.
I prefer the toe axis on the rudder since that's how I have DCS A-10 set up (don't have any fingers free for extra commands in that sim for sure) but that needs a response curve to work and I don't quite see how to do that in CoD
Anyway it works great.

I posted a set of instructions here. I didn't use CH Manager but another program called JoyToKey.
