BF1942 Map Part 2

[SunKing]

Hello,
I've created my own BF1942 using your POV mouse look script and other buttons specific to my tastes. Right now I have my Pro Throttle z axis set to DX Device [ CM Device 1 ] DX Axis [ Z ] and the game see ths throttle fine. My question is this. When I use the thorttle to "speed up speed down" in BF1942 it seems to take its time, doesn't react as fast as I expect it to. Is there a way in the CH Manager to emulate hitting the speed up key or speed down keys faster with the throttle other than setting sensitivity to %100 ( which it is already ) ?

Problem with BF 1942 is that the front half of the Throttle axis acts like a real throttle while the back half is reverse. You would be better off scripting an increase in the value of the Throttle axis, unless you taxi backwards alot in game. :P

But if you like go ahead and send keys instead of the analog information of the axis. You can do that right in the GUI. Just uncheck the "Direct X Mode" from the Throttle axis and go to town.

I like the throttle to be full when full forward and all stop when full back. Because the throttle in BF42 works as Michael describes, what I did was write a simple script so that the throttle is always full when forward and stop when back. I defined a key to toggle between forward and reverse. I like it much better than the default split-throttle setup. Here's the script:

// Change throttle into full range, forward/reverse
// Throttle middle button toggles between forward/reverse

sequence
wait (js2.b5);
b1 = not b1;
endsequence

if (b1) then
cms.a1 = (js2.a3 / 2);
else
cms.a1 = 255 - (js2.a3 / 2);
endif

Nice and tight, my favorite type of script. B)

I think I will put this on my BF 1942 map JNOV, it will certainly help my DCX (http://dcx.serverxtreme.com/) helo taxi skills. :salute:

Ok...I gotta ask...

I've been playing FPS games for a few years now..although very, very little in the last couple since I quit the job and went to school full time. I can't for the life of me, however, figure out what you use a throttle for in a FPS game.

Can someone enlighten me? My current setup is the Fighterstick USB (right hand) and a Kensington Expert Mouse 7.0 optical as a "look" device in my left hand.

Thanks,

And..wow, while looking through the CH Manager software 3.0...I've noticed that I can add a "Trackball Pro" that looks very similar to my Kensington...anybody got a link to some specs/cost of that thing?

Also..if ya'll will give the specs to the guy at Launchpad...he'll probably get an insert made for it for his launch pad (great little device for holding a trackball and a Fighterstick/Combatstick). Launchpad website (http://www.launchpadadv.com/)

But if you take damage coming out of a hanger it is nice to back up to replenish your planes health.
