Joystick Settings

~S~ all, didn't know if anyone has seen this or not. I haven't tried it but I will. (If your into realistic flying).

Want to get the most realistic Il-2:FB experience possible? After testing, Captain Brown managed to help define what he considers the most realistic joystick sensitivity settings. If you have a copy of Il-2:FB and would like to emulate this go into Hardware setup, then 'Input' then 'Controls' - when you will find a range of sliders. Adjust these to:

Pitch 0, 1, 3, 7, 9, 14, 18, 23, 27, 33

Roll 0, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 10, 12, 17

Yaw 0, 0, 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 11, 14, 16

Bringing these down to the values listed in the different axes should make for a much more realistic and true-to-life experience - in what is already a highly realistic warbird sim. Experienced Il-2 flyers may find that these seem to make the aircraft feel more sluggish and less responsive, but these settings will hake take-off and landings easier, as well as manoeuvres requiring small corrections like lining up behind an enemy aircraft or precision dive bombing. It also has to be remembered that vintage warbirds are considerably less agile than modern jet fighters - so that a 'slow roll' seen performed at airshows is very often a WW2 aircraft's max rate of roll - rather than the twinkling roll rate an F-16 might have. These settings bring the handling of aircraft in Il-2:FB more in line with Captain Brown's experience of the real thing and, of course, users can tweak these settings to their heart's content, perhaps adding more sensitivity at 100% deflection so that in extreme dogfights there is still full control authority there at the end of the scale.

I also use the following settings that Black who is the C.O. of the 324th Blacksheep put out.

Pitch= 17,27,37,46,57,77,86,97,100

Roll= 14,24,34,43,54,63,74,83,94,100

Yaw= 22,28,36,48,56,68,76,88,96,100

In the 'pitch' after 57 add 66. He left it out. He flys Corsairs all the time.

Thanks Gents,

I have played this game a long time and was still running straight 100's. This is way better.

There is a coupla better ways to do this. Go into the Main Il2 Forgotten Battles folder and open the Conf.ini scroll down and you will see the JS settings replace setting values as desired.
