Here assign axis for Throttle, double click over Throttle "Event" line, in the windows "Press HotKey" * I move the joy throttle axis.



After I need tick the box inverted for match stick throttle movement with in game throttle.

* I already suggest change this assignment box tittle for Press Key/Button-Move Axis, change that is done editing a text file, but this is considered "unimportant".

Sokol1:
Thanks for the screenshot. Can see that with double-click on right bar for ailerons, elevators or rudder gets your controller with proper X or Y axis and lights up the lower green bars. When I double-click on bar, I get "Saitek_X52_Pro_Flight_Controller-42B90321+RY Axis" and moving stick gets me nothing as does clicking "change" or "clear" and green does not show in bottom Out or In bars. And as I have messaged before...........same happens for any and all Axis items that I can click on. I really appreciate all that you and others are doing to help me, but all is with no joy. I have read in the Steam Blitz messages that others are having the same controller problem. After initial Blitz install and controller problem, I uninstalled and reinstalled with no improvement and will do it again in the next few days if I do not come up with fix.
Thanks,

I don’t have any idea if related but I had issue where CH rudder pedals were seen as x-y axes instead of z. So ingame rudder would start fully deflected right or left. Making sure that neither “brake” pivots were depressed I eventually got CloD to recognize pedals as Z axis. Could it be that position of a rotary during recognition process is source of your error issue?

Sokol1:
"Press Hotkey" did the trick. Now able to fly, but having the same CH Products rudder problem as Froggy2 with rudder all over the place. Will work it out..........hopefully.
Thanks again Sokol1

Got my rudder working properly.
HELP Can not remember how/where to find "zoom in" and "zoom out" so I can assign buttons. Also am not able to set "Propeller Pitch" to rotary switch in Options/Axis (having the same problem that I had with controllers).
Thanks,
Badbud

Options > Controls > Camera > Field of View + and Field of View -.

Looks like that yours problems for assign axes is due spikes in potentiometer of some controller, so when open the box "Hot Key" this axis is recognized before others.

Go to "Camera" and choose "Field of View +" and "Field fo View -"

I've found that my controllers must have some small spikes so when I'm assigning axis it gives me wrong axis/controllers, don't know if is a bug or not. I keep trying till I get the right one I want and checking the green bar. It's a bit annoying but not a big deal.

Thanks for your dedication and hard work!

I thought that all controllers problems were fixed. But now after all was going so well in Option/Controls and Axis, can not get an "OK" box to click on after adding or changing any controller button.

CLoD controls is awkward to set due their bad designed/confuse* interface, specially for AIRCRAFT due hundred of controls include there for "the future" - future that ~7 years after we know that never will come, after all CloD engine is showing their age, and could safety removed, example: Select Engine #3... Select Engine # 8!!! And their associated Prop Pitch, Mixture, Radiators, Carb Heat, Magnetos, Fuel cocks... This will reduce the list in 1/3 or 1/2.

But there's no real problem there that impedes someone their controls, guys with problem is due not understand how use the GUI.

The button for SAVE changes in controls is APPLY.

"SAVE AS" is for save controls customized per planes, eg. Spitfire, Bf 109 - since Propeller Pitch set for one result inverted for another. "It's Clod!"

I have suggest several times changes in that controls to make then more friendly, fixe some "bugs", but besides be jumped by "Fanboys" in that topics, the "official" answer is "This is not important".
For load controls "SAVE AS" use the button "LOAD" - can do this during flights.

* In Bananas'Drama are a post by Lutier ("RiP") admitting not being able to make changes in the CloD Controls interface.

CloD seems very fragile. Why should it be necessary to leave a mission to start recording. Frequently when attempting to start a recording ingame I select “start recording” and then have a fade to black when I try to return to the mission. Yes, I am eventually able to get back into the mission, but it remains an awkward process. The idea that we will someday have “dynamic” weather and other such fancy enhancements seems unlikely to materialize.

Now with some more fussing with Blitz, got all programmed and working except a rotary switch for "Propeller Pitch" in Options/Axis. So for now will use keyboard for pitch adjustment. And will continue to fussing and go-arounds till I find an answer. Thanks for all help given here and good flying to all.

Propeller Pitch in axis don't work in analog way for most Germans planes, because IRL that planes, Bf 109,Bf 110, Ju-88 use that "(MON)-OFF-(MON)" switch for control Propeller Pitch.

It works for me for the German planes, just not the same as the British. In German planes I set the rotary "throttle" wheel of my fighter stick in a center position. If I move it down, it increases pitch until I move it back to it's center. The opposite applies if I want to decease pitch. Which is pretty much how the propeller pitch control in the 109 cockpit actually did work.
The British Rotol system, and the American CSP, work as if for a constant speed propeller. You don't set pitch, you set RPMs, and a governor automatically adjusts the pitch setting to the boost keeping the RPMs constant. Therefore when flying British, I use the same rotary dial to set RPMs to where I want them.

Got the rotary switch working and feeling much joy! Now if I can come up with a good ammo load rather than the default in the Hurri and the Spit I will be really happy.

Good job with Blitz guys! Not played the game in a few years. Installed properly and no issues. Very disappointed when it came out in 2011 because it was a buggy mess. Finally living up to it’s potential. Can’t wait to see what else you come up with. VR would be nice at some point but not sure if that’s possible with the current engine. Keep up the good work and I’ll pay for new theaters.

I understand that TFS is looking at implementing VR in version 5.0.

One of the goofy things about ammo loadouts is that you need to set them up in multiplayer rather than single to be able to change them. I recommend joining an "easy" public server such as Leadfarm to do this.
Another thing is that the RAF convergences are metric in the GUI, and in yards when setting the gunsight up. I like a convergence of 200 yards, vertical and horizontal, which translates to 182.9 meters. I use a mix of DeWilde (incendiary) and armor piercing, with some tracer in the outboard guns only. If you can figure out how, set up a "residual" for your last 100 rounds with a change of tracer color, again for the outboard guns only (numbers 1 and 8).
Be sure to "save as" and give the loadout a name before you hit "apply". That way you can reuse the loadout for whichever RAF single seater you are flying.
Set keystrokes for your gunsight so that you can set distance at 200 yards, and width to whatever the wingspan of you target is (32ft-109, 46ft-Ju87, 54ft- 110, 60ft-Do17, 74ft He111,etc.)

VR in CloD require redone all cockpits in proper 3D, for try save some FPS (and run in Win95 - objective failed) MG made then using parts in 2D.



You can, join in a MP server and set the ammo belt, this is done individually for each MG.

In SP theoretically could be done in OPTIONS > PLANE, but the result is 'lottery", as SAVE is messy.

Don't know if still compatible with CloD - due the 64 bits and change in ammo, e.g. German, but this 3rd party tool make set ammo belts easy.

Gday all. If anyone is still having the problem of the joystick not being picked up /detected, even though it works in other games, I have a solution which is unusual but works. It's an old Thustmaster ffb joystick, win7 64. Here's what you do:

1. Plugin joystick, fire up Launcher64.exe
2. Let the first splash screen start to load. Then immediately unplug joystick (this gets you past the hanging Launcher64 problem.)
3. Let the second splash screen animation come up (the 1c "stopwatch"). Immediately plug in joystick.
4. Go into Controls and setup the joystick axes as described elsewhere.

I don't know why it works, but it works.
