Joystick hotkey ini file

[Sokol1]

What you search is ConfUser.ini file.

Format of command is:

Joystick+Key1=trigger1 >>> that's mean Joystick button 1 is main trigger.

Additional controllers (joystick, throttle, steering wheel, rudder pedal, gamepad...)
is labeled Joystick1, Joystick2...

Different from IL-2 1946 that allow 2 buttons/keys per command, ie:

(IL-2 1846)
Fire MG = Joystick button 1 and backspace key

In CloD you can assign infinite buttons or keys for every function, just create a new
command for this function, ie:

(in CloD)
Joystick+Key1=trigger1
Backspace=trigger1
Alt F=trigger1
Shift Backspace=trigger1

Etc. Limited only by buttons/key available.

Another new feature is use a Key to modify a Axis behavior, ie.

Space Joystick+AXE_Y=1brakes

So, if you hit and hold Space key and pull stick back you dont deflect elevators,
you active wheel brakes.

Joystick+AXE_U=-1throttle >> Axis U control throttle (for engine 1)

Space Joystick+AXE_U= -1pitch0 >> Now axis U plus key control Prop Pitch (for engine 1)

What a great piece of information.
I now have my Spit and Hurri brakes mapped to my rudder pedal brakes and they also show up on the settings screen in the sim.

Here is what I did:
Locate the userconfig.ini file in: "mydocuments\1csoftclub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover" folder.
Add the following two lines (in blue) to the configuser.ini file at the bottom of the page.

[HotKey pilotMove]
Joystick+AXE_Z=-1throttle
Joystick2+AXE_Y=1brakesrt
Joystick1+AXE_Y=1elevator
Joystick2+AXE_X=1brakeslt
Joystick1+AXE_X=1aileron
Control Joystick2+AXE_X=1brakes
Control Joystick2+AXE_Y=1brakes

Then I mapped a Control key on the keyboard to be pressed when applying the brake pedals. I now have both left and right working independently from each other than just the "b" brakes in the default. I also mapped the Control key to my Cougar Hotas speed brake control so that I just depress the key while applying the brake pedals.

Also note, the 1brakesrt and 1brakeslt above assigned to the same rudder pedal brakes - they also work. You just don't depress the Control key when you want these to work when flying an Axis aircraft.

NOTE: make sure you remark out or remove the original line "b" for the brakes as in the default.

Hope this makes sense.
cheers
