Released: Multi-Throttle Support for IL-2

[Qpassa]

I set in the conf.ini the
[DeviceLink]
port=3333
Is it correct ?

The 'H' (The script) appears

The cmd says :


It makes weird things when i use the pedals, it select left engine ( one of the buttons of the bottom of the throttle) ,more power 0 to 7 %...

The problem is most likely that you have your devices arranged in a non standard way.

Normal is G940 Joystick on ID1, Throttle on ID2, rudder pedals on ID3. I think you have your rudders on ID2 instead of the throttle. This is why when you press the toe brakes of the rudders, the program thinks that is the throttles.

Two possible solutions:

1. You get the JOY ID changer tool from www.wingman.com and set them in a standard way. But if you do that, most of your control setup will probably be lost in IL-2 (and all other games too), because you already set them up to be in this non-standard way.

2. A probably easier way, you set up the profile in the Multi-throttle program like people who don't have G940 would. Use the joy ID tools included to scan the ID slots (1, 2, 3 etc).

Then you move your rudder, throttle and all that, to see which ID they belong to.

Then you edit the mikkonfig.ini file, and just change the number in the beginning for the throttles and pedals to the ones you discovered with the JoyID tools.

I'm sure that your rudders are ID2, so you should change the toe brakes in the mikkonfig file to "2joy...." instead of "3joy..." like now. But you have to find the throttles

EDIT: If don't forget to change the buttons for the engine controls at the bottom (individual engine start and feather) to the ID of the throttle, if you are using them as well.

It seems that http://www.wingman.com/ is nowadays a site for a motorcycle accessories company.

Another very easy way to see the joystick device IDs is to open the control panel and then the game devices. It shows them in order. ID1, ID2 etc, even though there are no numbers.

I have done a video. It looks like a crap but well I wanted to record how it works

Thanks againt for your work MikkOwl

I used this config

[control_devices]
; Your throttle devices. Default is set to G940 dual throttles.
;
; Whenever moving a throttle axis, it selects the engine
; that throttle axis controls, and deselects all the other
; engines. This is how IL-2 works.
;
; If only the first two throttles are assigned, they will use
; "select left engines" and "select right engines". This allows
; you to fly aircraft with four engines properly.
; Otherwise only the two engines on the left wing (engine 1
; and engine 2) would be controllable.

THROTTLE_1_AXIS=1joyy
THROTTLE_2_AXIS=1joyx
THROTTLE_3_AXIS=no
THROTTLE_4_AXIS=no




; If you have two seperate axis as toe brakes, such as on the
; G940 rudder pedals, you can control the wheel brakes
; seperately. Default assigned below is for the G940.

WHEEL_BRAKE_LEFT_AXIS=3joyx
WHEEL_BRAKE_RIGHT_AXIS=3joyy
