lean to side in take off or landing, look at P-8 Compass. This, more a button to reset view/look front allow (IMO) a improved FOV control over game default.Ĭombining JoyToKey camera moves and the for "Hold to Adjust Field of View" you can obtain certain "6DOF" on cockpit,Į.g. The mouse whell button - necessary to momentary allow mouse move POV in game (due the clickable cockpit feature) and to hide mouse cursor.
Players with basic joystick without manufacturer software can use JoyToKey to transform HAT movements in mouse movements and control FOV in similar way.Ībove setting the HAT UP to move mouse cursor Up, with speed of "85" - aceleration of 50 at end of movement (optional), and at the same time pressing If you have ability to control mouse with both hands, you can add some vital commands in mouse buttons, ie engine power +, engine power-.Ī improved to this method is map this "mouse view" to your HOTAS throttle mini-stick or HAT - if allowed - using the manufacturer software (ie. Since usually you use this hand to control engine power, prop pitch, radiators, etc. But if you dont have skill with fingers like a Korean Starcraft player you are "blind".īeyond control FOV with HAT you can control this with mouse - assuming you have skill with the left hand (or vice versa if you're left-handed), You can alernate between these two FOV control methods with F9. SNAP: You press your joystick POV HAT right /left/up/down and you viewing angle move 90 degrees and return to center if you release pressure on POV HAT, or move more 90 degrees if you release and press again fast. Other nice feature is create create copy of commands, that's mean have the same function in various buttons/keys (some suitable for a certain plane, some for another, ie PP control for 109 inverted relative to Spit). So you can use one button/key to reset view (to front) and at the same time set FOV in 70 degrees, for example. The CloD GUI (somewhat incomplete, criticized by many.) have nice features, its various categories allow you to map functions - from different categories - in the same button/key, You can reduce this workload mapping a joystick button to reset the view (look front), instead use HAT backward. Some for Up/Down and same to return to center. etc until reach end o allowed field of view. PAN: You press your joystick POV HAT Right/Left/ and you viewing angle move ~25 degree and stay in this position when the pressure on POV HAT is released, The default FOV (field of view) control system in il-2:CloD - same of il-2:1946 is crude and restrictive (IMO). skill to set your own headtrack (Freetrack, FreetrackNoIR.). That's is: You dont have TrackIR, or webcam/wiimote and D.I.Y. Perhaps useful to new (to simulation) players:
