Instructions for assigning zoom view to a single axis

[SharpeXB]

Step by step instructions to create a custom zoom view axis on the controller of your choice.

This uses a program called JoyToKey, it allows you to map a button press to a joystick axis. This is needed because CoDs zoom axis command requires holding down a button (Hold to Adjust FOV) while moving the mouse on it’s Y-axis, the axis is also not assignable in the controls menu. The assignments I made here are for the CH throttle thumb stick to zoom in when pushed forward and out when pulled back. This results in the zoom view being assigned to a single axis and no extra button press is needed. It doesn't interfere with the mouse being used in the game or cockpit.

Download the program from here:

1. Create a profile by clicking “Create” at the bottom right corner.

2. Pull down “Preferences” and click “Associate Profiles with Applications”. Click Add and paste in the path to the Cliffs of Dover .exe (Launcher.exe) So the program will only run when you’re running CoD. Associate the new profile you created with this path using the pulldown.

3. Click the Options Tab, then configure button and then “Advanced setting for each device” tab. On this screen you can pull down which stick you want to set up and assign it a number “Joystick 2” in this example. Then move a stick to see which axis JTK assigns it or you can change that here.

4. Back on the main page under the tab for the stick you want, the arrows indicate axis assignments. In this example assign left to mouse up and right to mouse down on the next page. Double click on the arrow to bring up the assigning page. Click the Mouse tab and move the Y-axis slider under “Mouse emulation Cursor movement” up and click the Wheel (middle) mouse button assuming that is the modifier button you have assigned in CoD. Repeat the same process for the next arrow.

6. If you want an analog stick to use an acceleration ie zoom faster when moved far and zoom slow when moved a little, move the slider in "analog acceleration"

7 .Pull down File and Save

6.Run JTK when playing CoD and zoom away!
