Basic Configuration
Third Party Software
Third party tools are not necessary for all players, but can be useful for HOTAS and VR users.
- JoyToKey
- This tool allows you to map a joystick button or axis to mouse movement. At this time, IL2 does not allow turret rotation to be remapped, despite what the Direct Mode control bindings might indicate.
- VRNeckSafer
- This tool allows VR users to have more exaggerated head movement, like TrackIR. Very useful for situational awareness in the Commander slot.
- OVGME/JSGME
- A simple mod management tool. I use this for managing startup.cfg files which have different graphics settings for VR Aircraft, VR Tanks, and 2D Tanks.
- VoiceAttack (PAYWARE)
- May be useful for commanding your AI tank platoon in the campaigns or issuing orders to your crew. Have not experimented with this yet.
Controls
Default controls are Keyboard and Mouse. They work fairly well, but can become overwhelming in a close range firefight. I recommend using your HOTAS, especially if you are alone in your tank.
