Button function allocation problem in IL2 menu

Postby cricri » Thu Nov 24, 2022 13:17

Hello , I have a problem with the programming of my buttons, I have an NXT Gladiator with three modules mounted on it by bus: 1 GNX FSM-GA, 1 GNX SEM and 1GNX THQ , I have some buttons that do not work when I attribute them to a function on Il2 : the NAV LIGHTS button of the GNX FSM-GA module which has the address joy1_b63 _povnu is displayed when I attribute some function but has no action in the game .
Exemple : if I assign it to the NAV LIGHTS on the navigation lights of the aircraft , nothing happens , on the other hand if I put the STROBE button which has the address joy1_b62 on the switching on the navigation lights of the airplane , it works , any idea of ​​the problem ?

It's not a joystick problem, it's a game problem. It can only see 63 buttons, but since the score in this game starts at 0, 62 is extreme. The way out is to bind buttons to keyboard shortcuts.

Il-2 only recognizes the first 63 or 64 buttons on a single joystick. Apparently, you have more on that unit, so the game would recognize buttons up to 63 and not higher than that. In order to overcome that you could either assign the buttons over 63 to keyboard (here's the tutorial) or split your unit into several virtual devices, which the game will read as different joysticks - here's the tutorial for that, but instead of 32 buttons with 2 virtual devices you should go for 64 buttons per device with 2 virtual devices or 32 buttons with 3 virtual devices.

OK I got it to work. I missed a step.
