Remap or bind the throttle to my joystick throttle?Also can I rebind my top silver button after getting rid of its view functions ( I have track IR.) Finally can I assign different functions to keyboard "command keys ( caps lock, shift ,home,alt etc.) They don't seem to "take".
Also what is the command to drop bombs or fire rockets? Obviously I'm new around here... ahoy

Dietz,
If you to the WOFF Home Page you can find "Latest FAQ", "Player Command", and "Key Guide". These should answer all of your questions. If my memory serves me correctly I do not think you can change your hat switch to something else, but I could be wrong. Hope this helps!

To fire rockets or drop bombs hit "Backspace" to select weapon and "enter" to drop or fire. Going from memory here so check the key guide.

I did read almost all of the info you mention,but aside from unbinding main stick controls from keyboard after using the stickmain arm ,it said nothing about how to bind the stick throttle ...perhps by first unbinding the key controls? Ditto top button...perhaps unbind all the view controls from this - after all with Track IR I don't need them programmed with button,yes? Finally I found no info on being able to bind the keyboard command keys" mentioned above to any commands in the sim....when pressed to bind to say "chase plane view" nothing happens.I'll look again of course ...I may have missed something..

New guy eh?
Well, with a screen shot from one of my favorite movies right in your OP I see we are going to get along just fine.
Welcome aboard!

And Robert Wiggins is a MS FFB user so he should be by shortly to give you a hand.

Hi Dietz;

Welcome aboard Sir.

Please PM me regarding the force feedback strength settings. I think I have some info you may appreciate.

I have not found a way to rebind the "top silver button".
To drop bombs or fire rockets, the "Back" key allows you to choose your ordinance and the "enter" key fires them.

In response to your question about keyboard remapping. All remaps are done in WOFF through the "Workshop" under "Re Map Key controllers". See below:


If you have a microphone on your PC, I would highly recommend you download the "VoiceAttack" freeware software which allows you to set up voice commands as replacement for keyboard strokes. I use it and it is great. It frees up my hands and allows me to focus on the activities in the sim. One proviso here, make sure you do not have any noise or chatter around you or VoiceAttack may pick it up and try to interpret it. It is also adviseable to use headphones so you don't have speakers belching noise into the room.
It is always best to not use one word commands as they are easily confused with the surrounding noise if you have any. Use at least two words.
If you decide to try the software I can send you my command list as an example.

VoiceAttack web site is: Click Here

I have a MSFF2 and I think the throttle lever just worked when I plugged it in; no mapping or adjusting required that I can recall..

I believe the default setting for bombs/rockets is button 3 selects the ordinance and button 4 drops/fires it (just as shown in Roberts pic of the controllers page)

Here is a link to my dropbox for an exported HTML list of my ViceAttack Profile.

VoiceAttack profile export

I have a purchased version which supports more commands and profiles than the freeware version does, so keep that in mind.

Could you also pm me about the ff settings and were to put these in. My MS-FF2 does have only a limited use of the FF.
