Greetings, this is my first post in the forums for this wonderful sim and I would like to have some tips for optimal usage of my new HOTAS with Flaming Cliffs 2.
I have started to make a profile yesterday and have the basic stuff down but I cannot figure out how to use the 3 different modes the stick offers- I have mapped the keys to various functions in the first mode but want an alternative use in mode 2. For example, I want to use one coolie hat for aircraft trim in mode 1 and for target designator when I switch to mode 2- is this possible? When I try to program the keys in mode 2, the software changes the functions in mode 1 automatically.
Also, I would like to know how to make best use of the precision slider and the 2 rotary axes on the throttle. In IL 2 CLOD for example, I use them for prop pitch and mixture/radiator but in Flaming Cliffs that is not needed as most functions don't need axes it seems- how do you use them?
