Setting up the controls # version 1.00.13820

What's amazing with this game and gives you a hint of the complexity that comes with it, is the controls' assignment. I think that even the most experienced sim fans won't be able to assign everything at once.
It seems like an ongoing procedure, something to do while game is being prepared by developers ;)

First of all you can assign the Axes.
There you can assign Aileron, Elevator, Rudder, Throttle, Flaps, Breaks, Propellor Pitch, Radiator and Oil Radiator, Supercharger, Carburateur Heat and some more controls. Quite a variety compared to our beloved IL-2:Sturmovik!

Note the "Dead Zone" options!

Then, you can move to the Keys assignment.
Well, here you got infinite options!
First of all, you can assign as many keys as you want to each operation. Just move to an operation, press NEW and you can add one more key for it.
What you definitely need to have set from the beggining are the following:

• Engine initiation
• Guns :-)
• Trim Elevators
• Flaps
• Undercarriage 
• Bail out :P
• Map. Some may disagree, but it's what some of us need to play with ;-) 

Did you notice that you can set the keys of the "Builder" as well? Nice :)

Those who plan to use a hotas control system with custom profile, keep a good note of what keys you assigned and where, so you can add them in the new profile ;)
By the way, you can find good hotas information at http://www.hotas.gr/ .

At this point, just save everything and go and fly a bit. It's nice to play with settings, but it's better to fly!
