Multiple Axis Control?

[Maico]

Fellow Pilots:
My name is Maico and I am an addict. I play almost exclusively IL2 1946. Oh sure, I go into other games and spend time with them. I will allways come back to IL2. Why do I love this sim? Because it is beatiful, challenging and most of all well suported.
So on to my gripe. The one thing I have noticed that is missing on the controls is the ability to assign multiple controls to a single axis controller. I discovered this limitation by playing other sims. I beleive it was COD where I first discovered the joy of multiple assingments. i.e. I can asign a trim wheel to say... Rudder. Now here is the part that is missing in IL2 I cant assign the same Wheel+Shift to Aileron. In COD I had the same wheel to Rudder trim(normal) Aileron trim(Wheel+Shift) Fuel Mix(Wheel+Ctrl).
My question is, can this be implemented? While we are here, can we address the 4 input source limitation? I would like to add several pieces of hardware to this sim but cant. I hear this a lot from other simmers. I beleive that many would benefit if we could get rid of this in the sim..
Sorry about the long post and thanks for your support.
