IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad

Store Page IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad > General Discussions > Topic Details ★eZ★ View Profile View Posts 5 Jul, 2018 @ 2:33am Basic joystick configuration? Hello pilotsI just bought this game, and a Logitech G Extreme 3D Pro Joystick. I am kinda overwhelmed with all the different keys and buttons to configure, so I am asking, what are the most basic keys I need to configure on my joystick? So far I have set the throttle, so I can increase/decrease that. I have 2 buttons assigned to flaps.And of course one to drop bombs, and one to fire the planes cannons and machineguns.I have my joystick to the far right, my mouse in the middle (For free-looking around) and my keyboard up vertical to my computer.Also, why can I not access the American fighter planes? I only get the choice between Russian & German. I want my P-40 :)Thank you Last edited by ★eZ★; 5 Jul, 2018 @ 2:35am The author of this topic has marked a post as the answer to their question. Click here to jump to that post. Originally posted by Shades: From memory the basic flight controls I used when I had that stick.On the stick axis - Pitch, Roll, Yaw, Throttle (on the little tab thing).As primary buttons on the stick - Trigger = mg, Thumb button = cannon, Top of stick = bombs and rockets.8 way switch as PoV hat if no view control.On the Base - Flaps, RadsIt has been a long time since I used that stick so I don't remember all of the binds but it might work as a starting point for you.Your basic controls are:PitchRollYawThrottleRPM / Prop PitchRadiators (Water and Oil)FlapsLanding GearWheel BrakesTrim (Pitch, Roll, Yaw)WeaponsView Control (Pitch, Roll,Yaw, Zoom)I would first bind the contols that need quick access for flight and combat, then for convenience whatever keys are still unused to controls that have inconvenient binds.I usually use the quick missions to test after changing things. If vital controls get forgotten it usually shows quickly.Hope this helps. < > Showing 1-8 of 8 comments -OrLoK- Слава Україн View Profile View Posts 5 Jul, 2018 @ 4:15am assign a hat to trim (up down left right = pitch/roll)depending on what you have purchased or the mission youll not have access to every plane. #1 ★eZ★ View Profile View Posts 5 Jul, 2018 @ 4:30am

Ah, thanks for the tip :) #2 -OrLoK- Слава Україн View Profile View Posts 5 Jul, 2018 @ 5:36am also don't be scared of using game setting "aids" to simplify the game to make it more accessible at first.it really is a complex sim at heart and can be unforgiving at first. #3 Huug View Profile View Posts 5 Jul, 2018 @ 5:36am I believe your joystick has Twist Rudder Control, so I would advise do assign the rudder to that. #4 ★eZ★ View Profile View Posts 5 Jul, 2018 @ 10:38am Excellent advice guys, I took special note of that Twist Rudder Control so I will be sure to assign the rudder control to that. It seems I bought BoS when I should've bought the 5in1 il-2 game, so I've done that now. #5 Disarray View Profile View Posts 5 Jul, 2018 @ 11:21am To get the P-40 you have to buy it. It is a collector plane. You could also look into the Battle of Botenplate. That pack will have lots of American planes, but it isn't finished yet. The only flyable planes there are a 109 and a Spitfire. Both good planes though.You may find that you'll want a seperate button for machine guns and one for cannons. Most planes carry a rather limited ammount of cannon ammo, less than 100 rounds in some cases. #6 The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.
