Howdy,

Just bought CoD yesterday (Steam) and installed the TF mods (3.01) and the sim looks great.

Two problems, though:

- Unless I fly at 5am, the sky and horizon are ridiculously bright, like the gamma setting is too high, but I don't see a gamma setting in the menu.

- The game doesn't recognize my second flightstick. I use a MS FFB2 as my main, and a Saitek Cyborg Evo as a throttle. But so far CoD just ignores the Saitek when I try to assign keys to it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. smile

I would suggest you register and ask any technical problems question at the ATAG forums.You will get an answer and probably the solution a lot more quicker.

But... I like it here. frown

Maybe I'll take a look over there after, but the guys here have some tech-game going on. Maybe somebody will clue me in to the solution.

Thanks. smile

The first problem may related with you video card/drivers? What model is?

You just unplug MS FF2 and test if EVO work?
Test only in GUI and dont hit APPLy so you dont loose assignements for MS FF2 - just in case, before make copy of ConfUser.ini in ...Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover - MOD

Ir are OK what commonly happen in such case are:
CloD GUI is very sensible to joystick movement, so when you select throttle an in the box for move joystick the axis of Evo is not registered because the GUI have registered some minor spike in one MS FF2 axis.
What you can do is try, and try... until Evo movements are registed first. smile

Another way is edit ConfUser.ini under section [HotKey pilotMove], you see something (assuming that your MS FF2 be seem first by Windows - check in Control Panel > Printer and Devices> Game Controllers) like:

Joystick+AXE_Z=-1throttle

Change for

Joystick1+AXE_Z=-1throttle > this means that axis Z in second joystick (they are numbered 0, 1, 2...) now control throttle.

And test, this -1 means that in example axis work invert, if not need remove.

The easy way to know correctly name for EVO throttle axis (or if are really Z) is unplug MS FF2, and set only EVO and take note of name for axis throttle. Take note in the above suggested test.

Still having the same problem with the ultra-bright screen with the new 327 drivers (replaced the old 311).

It's actually a bit worse than it looks. I'm sure the problem something simple, but then, so am I. biggrin






Haven't played with the flightstick problem yet. This one is bugging me more.

SweetFX fixed the problem. Lowered the gamma way down and softened the image. Looks great now.
