Just bought a Joystick and IL-2!
and im having problems, duh, everytime i unload my weapons, i slightly rotate my Handle and my rudder moves slighty, messing up my aim, is there anyway i can lock the rudders in place? cause the handle is so sensitive atm, really messes it all up
the Joystick i use is a Logitech Extreme 3D pro Twist handle Joystick. Thanks!

I had a similar problem with that joystick, maybe it's common thing with that model.
You could try adding dead zone on the yaw axis in Options - Input from IL-2 main menu. |

I just download IL2 - 1946 from steam last night. Before work I decide to skip the tutorials, since I've been flying flightsims since the original sub logic version on a commodore 64.
I just pick some unknown Russian plane, and start the mission. It's a bi-plane. I wait for the other aircraft to get out of my way, take off, climb out a bit, make a real hard left to see if there are any blackout effects, and the next thing I know, I'm in a spin. I almost recovered. Didn't know where the bailout key was, either... if that would have done any good. It's been a long time since I've crashed a plane. This might be awesome.

Took a while, but I finally was able to get some buttons programmed for IL2 (I also have the Logitech Extreme 3d Pro). Couldn't do it from within the game, but I got it to work with Logitech Profiler. Pretty happy about that, since I'm used to controlling the elevator trim and flaps especially from the joystick.
Do you guys actually land these planes? I have tried 3 times to do a carrier landing in a corsair and so far no luck. Also, is my tail hook going to work? In the controls section that thing is blank.

If i nthe controls something is showing as blank then you need to set a key for it.
Some useful (Default) keys for you: CTL + E = Bail Out Shift + F1 = Centre Gunsight (useful on 109's) F = Flaps UP V = Flaps DOWN G = Gear UP/DOWN C = Change crew position (pilot/gunners etc.) CTL + D = Recticle Dimmer (Luftwaffe fighters) CTL + L = Cockpit Lights Hope that helps, and welcome to IL2: I am sure you will enjoy it a hell of a lot!

For some reason I didn't think to just try to set a keystroke for the blank ones, like the tailhook. If that works, I should be able to transfer control over to the joystick again, I hope. I'll give that a shot. Thanks! Edit: It worked. I set the "toggle arresting hook" or whatever it was to Alt + T, then went to logitech profiler and set one of my buttons to be that. Nice!

No worries! I saw where it says toggle tailhook or whatever, just that it was blank. Didn't think to set that up myself...
