Starting to make little progress

Well I have run across another question.
I am in the controls menu and have made the other necessary key assignments regarding the fuel cock toggles. I went ahead and assigned fuel cock toggles for engines 1-4 to have just in case.

I have looked through all the controls menu, and do not see an I assigned to any control function whatsoever. I fear in my early haste to go in and start assiging stuff a couple of days ago to try and get in the air sooner rather than later, I was mapping some stuff directly to my stick buttons versus using key presses like I will be doing now for my joystick file - I am afraid I must have erased the I command from the appropriate corresponding control function to start the engines.

Can you tell me which control function exactly, the I keypress is supposed to relate to, to start the engine?

Sorry for my ingnorance, again it is hard for me to tell which one it should apply to in the controls menu.

Thanks,

Thanks for the tip.
So let's say I reset everthing back to default - I go in and change some keymapping, and introduce a lot of new keymapping - you are saying if I click on " save as", it retains the default file as well, in addition to my newly created custom file?

Hmm don't know if that information is dated or what, I have no such condition zero folder, or file, in the paths it is telling me in the Steam folder.

I have a key file I got for CLoD somewhere around here I guess, and have printed it out - I did not change too much at this point , so should be easy to go back in and manually change the ones I did.

Thanks,

Thanks,

condition zero was given just as an example game name

I have a key file you will not need that, all you will need is your registered name/password/and e-mail account...try doing a search if no one here responds to your requests for help right away. You may get more help and sooner if you post in the proper sub forum.

Thanks SlipBall,
The key file was just a document showing all the default keystrokes for their respective commands - plus some extras I guess, can't remember where I got it but it was a handy reference. Looks like it was put together by a particular squadron. No need now for me to reset to defaults, it would have been a nice feature to have in there though.

Anyway I stayed up late last night using this reference and going through a lot of controls and mapping keystrokes to them last night. I think I got all that at least I will need, and probably several I may never use.

Now I need to create my actual joystick file for my cougar, which would be the macro file containing all these key commands and their corresponding control actions, then the joystick file using this macro file and assigning which buttons do what.

I am getting there slowly but surely lol.

Thanks,
