Key map?

[O_TaipaN]

That Anthropomorphic option is a very interesting realism option but it doesn't answer his question about a key mapping list.

Is there a key mapping list anywhere that we can use to map the game in our HOTAS software?

[bongodriver]

in the controls menu? as far as I can see every single control is listed......not sure what you are after? do you want a printed key map?

[O_TaipaN]

Doesn't have to be printed, just PDF or something. Although printing would be good for the guys without a second monitor.

Need something to enter all the keys into joystick software.

[bongodriver]

in that case no.....not as far as I know, but I haven't looked in all the game folders, it probably isn't much point to have one as is because not all controls have a default assignment if you know what I mean, there are probably more functions than physical keys possibly, I can't remember the last sim I had with a full list of keys in a printable format.

There aren't more functions than physical key combinations. An A-10 is more complex than a spitfire yet A-10C released with all keys mapped ready to plug into joystick software - in the beta version

I have a rise of flight keyboard layout on my desk, lots of sims have them. Flaming cliffs 2 has a different PDF for every plane in the game folder!

The sim is prepared for everybody can set the keys as they want. Even more than 50% of available commands has not default key mapped so is a nonsese to have a pdf map for printing.

I wouldn't say it's "prepared", that's ridiculous because sims with default mappings do not prevent users from assigning their own keys. More like it's "NOT prepared" for users who want to use a default mapping.

If half the keys aren't even mapped then I'm pretty much screwed in terms of mapping in joystick software anyway.

Why? it seems all you would need to do is assign each function with a key/key combination of your own choice and then use your own assignments in your joystick profiler, yes I guess it will be slightly labour intensive but that's not impossible.

[O_TaipaN]

It can be done, but it's labour intensive on top of doing the TARGET map. It's labour intensive because there's so many keys and potential conflicts that have to be resolved. The other problem is it has to be redone upon re-install (or if a patch overwrites them) that's why a default mapping is best.

But yeah I'll have to figure out a key mapping plan for myself, which means the 2 hours I have free each evening I have to spend on mapping and configuring TARGET. Maybe after a week of that I'll finally have something good setup.

If you backup your ConfUser.ini you do not have to reassign keys after reinstall. You can also have steam cloud on to save settings there I think.

To map keys to joystick I run the game in window mode and have joystick software open next to game window.
