Screen shot of VKBDevCFg-C for POV 0 deg.
#1 and #2 are active when the cyclic mode switch is at the "dogfight" position.
#3 and #4 are active when the cyclic mode switch is at the "navigation" position.
I changed #1 44 to B auto 44, and #3 57 to B auto 57
When tested in VKBDevCFg
button 44 lights when "dogfight" and POV up is selected
button 22 lights when "dogfight" and pinkie shift + POV up is selected
button 57 lights when "navigation" and POV up is selected
button 58 lights when "navigation" and pinkie shift + POV up is selected
A similar process was used for all four POV directions (0, 90, 180, and 270), using the default button selections.
When I try to bind the keys in IL-2 BoS the wrong numbers are recorded. For instance, if shift POV Up/ shift POV Down are used for the propeller rpm, number 21 and 22 occur.
[b]How should I set up the POV switch output key values?[/b]
I read in the forum, that IL-2 Sturmovik can accept up to 64 as a key input.
[b]Can input key #44 be changed to a number greater than 64, so that the output keys are all less than or equal to 64? [/b]
If I understand correctly, a BX button is affected by the cyclic mode switch.
SHIFT1 is set to 56 when the mode is "dogfight" and outputs key 22
SHIFT1 is set to 58 when the mode is "navigation" and outputs key 26
SHIFT1 is the pinky shift button on the joystick.
The joystick is the plain Gladiator.
