Differential braking in IL2 FB

[tmdgm]

I've read that it is possible to develop differential braking with CH pro pedals and the control manager. I found spidey's site. This has a map that supposedly enables it, but I don't have the fighter stick, nor throttle.

So I would need directions how to do it with pro pedals and 568 combatstick. Any idea how to do this or where to find info on it?

Have a look HERE (http://www.ch-hangar.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=43) and HERE (http://www.ch-hangar.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=42)

Okay, I think I'm in over my head.

How do I do this?:


"So the easiest thing to do it is to use CMS to make your two brake axes into one axis.

IF ([JS3.A1 > JS3.A2]) then // LEFT OR RIGHT TOE BRAKES
CMS.A1 = JS3.A1;
ELSE
CMS.A1 = JS3.A2;
ENDIF

That assigns CMS Axis 1 to be whichever is greater of your two brakes."


I can click on the CMS scriptor button thingy. Then do I just add it anywhere?
And how do I do this?:


"Then you assign JS3.A1 and JS3.A2 to NONE."


Is this just making JS3.a1 = none in the CMS scriptor?
And finally, how do I do this?:


"CMS.A1 to either Uaxis or Vaxis."


Lost on this one.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Another good link...HERE (http://www.ch-hangar.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=299&hl=brake).

Do you have the CMS controls added to your map?

[tmdgm]

Er..uhm.... I don't know. How can I tell if I have CMS controls added to my map?

[tmdgm]

Okay, I think I added it, the CMS controls to my map that is. What's next?

[tmdgm]

I opened the script editor and added the lines above.

The part I'm struggling with now is where is JS3.A1 and JS3.A2? I know how to set it to none, just can't find it.

Also, where is CMS.A1? I assume on the 'CMS controls' tab, I select 'Axes 1' and select 'CM Device 1' and select U axis?

[MichaelCHProd]

JS3.A1 is Control Manager for JoyStick number 3's Axis number 1.

Still not clear.... ok. When you open your map or add devices to it you will note that each one gets a little tab next to "Program Settings". From left to right they are numbered. So in this picture JS3 would be....

the Pro Pedals

Now the first axis on the pedals would be the one that is defaulted to X axis, which is....

the Left Toe Brake

You are doing wonderfully. :)

[MichaelCHProd]

The CMS Axis are indeed on theCMS Controls tab...

Okay, think I got it now. Technically, my setup would be JS2.A1 as I only have a combatstick and pedals. Type that into the script, set the JS2 axes 1 and 2 to none (basically pedal axes) and set the axis 1 on the CMS page to U or V.

I'll try that. Thanks!
