Glad I interpreted your question correctly. I'm perfectly happy using it with CoD, not to mention every other game. DCS A-10C is especially good with this stick, as they were essentially made for each other.

You can also do other things with it.

I have a WT, but unfortunately I'm still in London so I couldn't test it yet with IL2 CoD, but, from what I've seen in IL2 CoD default controls setup, it allows you to use joystick axes modifiers, ie constructions like CTRL + Joystick 1 Z.

This should mean you can use a single axis from WT for multiple controls, without having to change WT's profile while in-game.

So:
- in IL2 CoD assign all trims to the same WT axis (the rotary trim from the throttle for example), using different modifiers (Joy W, CTRL + Joy W, ALT + Joy W, SHIFT + Joy W, even constructions like K + Joy W might work inside IL2 CoD, you need to check for it)
- in WT control panel, program HOLD buttons for CTRL, ALT, SHIFT, etc (you can even program them all on the same button, by going through all at each button's press)
- voila, you should be able to use same WT trim wheel in order to control different trims

hey warthog owners,

I know that Warthog has dead zone settings - when you set them to 0, does it mean that it has absolutely no dead zone at all?

For example, when dead zone is truly 0, the x & y axis should not ever return to exact center, never straight lines when moving along at an axis, and no 'delays' when crossing an axis.

MSFFB2, X52 (even modded) all exhibit this kind of behavior :-\ I want a joystick with absolutely no dead zone for precision flying.

Yes. If you set deadzone to 0 and deactivate the hardware-deadzone (it's switchable in the TARGET software), you have absolutely NO deadzone AT ALL.

Default Warthog's Mini stick on the throttle quadrant

I too have finally moved from using my MS Sidewinder FFB Pro2 USB and even my Cougar FCC1 over to a WartHog set of controllers….

Glad I did it too.

The SW FFB Pro2 while having force feedback and precision flight controlling, it just didn't have the number of button and axes I needed. So I ended up playing the keyboard piano while at the same time trying to fly, manage CEM, TS3, etc.

Even my long standing Falcon4BMS favorite controller, the Thrustmaster Cougar with the Force Controlled Cougar version 1 mod was not precise enough for close up formation long range gunning. It was and still is perfect for FBMS or DCS-A10c, but just doesn't cut for IL2-COD.

So onto my question….
The mini-stick on the throttle doesn't seem to allow me to move the cursor very well at all in COD. Can someone who is using it successfully give me the details on how to do it please?

Thank you

Which mini stick? Do you mean the coolie hat switch that the left thumb uses, or the slew ultra mini-stick which is kinda like a tiny button inside a non-moveable hat switch (on the front face of the throttle controller)?

I may not be able to help when I know but I'll have a play to see what I find out.
