Seems to not like it for the 109 series? Or is it just me and my unl33t skillz.X52 pro and atm i am using the C key to lower flaps for landing, i have to hold the key in until they are fully down or they just pop up again.Really would like to place it on my stick or throttle and stay away from the keyboard

In the 109 it's a hand crank. Holding the button keeps your pilot's hand cranking the wheel. Holding the button puts the flaps in "moving downward" state or "moving upward" state. When you let go of the button it stops moving and so the game says "Neutral".

Same as the prop pitch mechanism.

I have flaps on my X52's thumb slider. In the middle somewhere is "neutral". If I want to lower the flaps I just slide it all the way down and then it frees my thumb for other things. The crank keeps turning, lowering the flaps until I center the slider.

I have it on my x52 pro throttle slider. I am new to COD and think as I try other AC it may be a problem as it seems to be full up full down, while flaps can be incremental on some AC Interested in the experience of other. BTW..large rotary for elevator trim small rotary for rudder. Cheers, John

Damn, i had the brakes mapped there so i could use them nice and incrementally , i have the trim on the rotaries too, makes it nice and easy for level flight.

Where do you guys put your brakes ?

I use the Saitek pedals, work well. Also, a guy from Norway suggested Track IR5 and that has really helped reduce commands, effort, and floggin Johng my poor memory!

ah ok.No pedals here, i will have a stuff around tonight and see where i can map the brakes comfortably.On the slider they are perfect and my crash rate in a 109 landing is virtually nil now that i can apply them as needed.

I have the brakes on the trigger (mode 1) and on the pedals, the spit and hurri like to ground loop so they aren't much use except to hold position.

In il2 i used to have them mapped to the bottom trigger/pinkie button on the Joystick but CloD will not recognise this button for the brakes.I ended up putting the flaps on the throttle u slider and the brakes on one of the rotaries, not real happy with that setup yet as it took away my rudder trim, more stuffing around tonight.

The 109 doesn't have rudder trim. You've always got modes 2 and 3. Make mode 3 the takeoff/landing mode and change those axes around.

will CoD in game commands recognize Saitek x52 Pro shift change to modes 2 and 3? I have been using keyboard for many start up commands, the IR5 frees up the POV hat but I have not yet tried mapping commands to it.

Yeh i need to set up my modes, atm i am just using 1 mode for all assignments, i need to sort my shiz out and get real I am only really getting into the full flying side of it lately, have been in the FMB 80% of the time since release.

Hi AJAY,I have x52pro,like i had in Il2 46,I made abig deaa zone in centre of u slider,slide up to Flaps up,slide down mapped to Flaps down key. For Brakes i use button 16 on throttle !

Ajay i gave you a bum steer mate(I forgot I changed it a few weeks ago)! options/controls/Axes/Landing Flaps = Joy U axis ! ~S~

All good Jaydee , if ypu look up i have mapped my flaps to the U slider which previously was my brakes

Ajay..will Saitek x52 modes work in CoD? Mentioned above..it would make it easier to distribute commands. I use keyboard for on the on the ground commands.Thanks, John

I have button on CH quadrant for incremental and an axis for all the way up...or all the way down....i generally use the button for take off as i only want a few degrees...but the axis for landing as i want them all the way down in a hurry...but thats just me...and i have way too many controllers haha

I ended up putting the flaps on the toggle 13 and 14 buttons , still works in increments on the 109 , holding the button up works the flaps up until you stop holding.Down flaps button 14 works the same.In the spit and hurri it is just a one click up or down needed.

Moved my brakes back to the u slider but you dont even need brakes with the pitch control dropped to zero , the planes slow up quicker with the pitch off and make the brakes only needed for turning.

I try never to program anything other than weapons to the Trigger. Squad m8's in front of me might not appreciate me tapping the trigger (breaks) while lining up for takeoff. Luckily my Saitek Pedals have toe breaks, but some Brit aircraft have the breaks on the Spade. I have the Brit breaks programmed to a button on my HOTAS, but should simplify things by programming my Saitek pedals not only in the ingame Break Axis, but in its own software for the spade breaks. Unfortunately programming a key to the Saitek Pedals can be an excersise in frustration. I find some aspects of the Saitek Rudder programming less than intuitive.

The Modes for the X52/X52Pro work, but you have to run the SST software, and have the switches/buttons you want to have different modes programmed through there. The game itself reads each button whatever as the joystick button, the "modes" don't change that. What they do though, is allow the SST software to recognize different macros according to your settings. I personally found it was not worth the extra time programming with the new clickable cockpits, and haven't used the SST software for anything but setting deadzones and led brightness.
