Re: Il 2 Sturmovik Cliffs Of Dover S

At the moment this is located in the main IL-2 STURMOVIK CLIFFS OF DOVER installation folder in your STEAM folder and must be manually started. We hope to have the program integrated inside the game in the near future.
Yes, it's a Windows thing, not CloD related. The easy fix is to not play USB bingo with your peripherals but either keep em plugged in or remember to plug em into the same slots. Never had a problem with joystick, rudder pedals or throttle losing mapping so I suspect people are just wildly swapping USB slots and then wonder what is happening.
I am too don't unplug/plug stick/pedal - leave plugged 24/30/365, and have all "power saves" features for USB ports turned off, but is just Windows enter in sleep mode that joy ID number (the B56E1E95) is changed, in my case between two numbers, so I have backup of ConfUser.ini saved with both numbers, being matter of load the last choose by Windows.
I have the Steam version of CLOD-Tobruk. The Joystick Wizard recognizes my Freedom 2.4 Wireless Joystick inputs as I enter them, but when I save the inputs the confuser.ini does not update so any changes I make do not take effect. I have run the wizard with the game running, with the game off, with Steam on and Steam off. I have deleted the confuser.ini file and then run wizard but in that case no confuser.ini file is generated, I'm running Steam and the game on Windows 7 Pro. Any thoughts or suggestions as to why this may be happening? I can, and I have, input various joystick commands in game but now I'm just trying to figure out why the wizard itself won't save to an updated confuser.ini file.
Part 2 - I found where the confuser file appears to have been generated by the wizard- it ended up in the My Documents/1C SoftClub/il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover folder. I copied the joystick wizard generated confuser.ini file from that location and pasted it in together with the local files of the game itself, which was on a different drive, but the game still would not recognize any of the changes which I had made via the wizard. So I'm still scratching my head over what is going on.
DO NOT copy them into the main game folder. The wizard saves all changes in the right place. Once you've saved your changes within the wizard you should have a file like this in your documents folder
Thanks for this. It's been years since I flew on IL-2/IL-2-1946. I got RoF years ago and had no problem mapping my joystick/throttle (Saitek X52), but I'm having a terrible time trying to get things mapped to CLoD Blitz/Tobruk. I finally got the main controls mapped, but I have yet to get my flaps mapped to the point they actually work in the sim. I'm terribly confused over this. I'll try out the wizard next time I get on and see if it helps.
Thanks for your reply Karaya. I tried your solution. I kept the original confuser.ini in the game folder, but still no recognition of the renamed or original named confuser.ini in the My Documents/1C etc folder after running the Joystick Wizard . I did try your renaming suggestion although it seems counter-intuitive as the "back-up" version showing in your example above which was created at 16:51 precedes, in time, your newly generated confuser.ini at 16:54.
The file modification time in the picture has no meaning, I dont know why you are bringing this up. The picture is solely meant to show what the file created by the wizard looks like. Stick to what I actually wrote, not to what you are interpreting.
Great Battles will do the same thing if you are running TARGET for your Thrust Master controllers. You have to start Target before you start the game or the game will see new controllers instead of the "Combined" controllers. Mine are as seen below in configId,quid,model below. When I notice things get amiss ( when I go to settings and Joy 1, 2, 3 have changed) I check that folder in the game install and it has changed, so I delete everything in the "Data/Input/devices.txt" file and turn on TARGET, and start the game and it generates a new "devices.txt" profile inside the Input folder. And as for switching USB plugs in the motherboard, it will mess things up. I just move my set up into my new game room, and I have each of my USB plugs labeled as to which plug they go in and it still messed up. Windows updates, game updates, updating controller firmware will all play havoc on the system sometimes. So when I set up my Yaw/L&R Toe Brakes I should see Joy 0 x axis', for those three, and Joy 1 x/y axis for Pitch/Roll and Joy 3 x axis for Throttle axis. If anything else shows up while assigning axis your Input/device file is messed up. Delete it, and restart the game, set your axis again and you should be doin barrel rolls in no time.
Like so many other people, this does NOT work for me. Read the whole thread and followed the instructions to the letter. Seems to only work for about 1/2 the people from posts I've seen. I only have ONE controller, a Logitech Extreme 3D, yet there is still an issue? Seriously?
Just built a new computer, and can't find the post that told how to find the joystick ID, manually edit it in one of the ini files. It was the ONLY thing that worked on my old PC. Band-aids and workarounds do not make up for proper programming in the first place. Win 10 especially changes how game controller IDs are handled and instead of moving along in time with the code. 1C is just trying tricks to get around the problem. Win10 has only been out since 2015. For pete's sake, you guys can't fix this AFTER SIX YEARS?
Damn thing.... I finally got it to work. I was looking at a confuser.ini file with the exact same name in the game's install folder. Then I found another one in the Documents\1Cxxx\IL-2 CoD folder?.. But it still didn't see those assinments in that file in the game. So I finally saw the 'Load' button in the game's Options, and manually Loaded that file, and my assignments are working now. Why the hell this game doesn't just use the correct file automatically is just confusing..
1) RESOLUTION
Set your desktop to your desired in-game resolution, then launch the game. You will be able to select any res of the same aspect ratio as your current desktop res.
Settings are saved in Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\conf.ini
Hold this key/button and push the mouse away to get a higher FOV on all cameras. Your new setting will stick until you exit the current mission (or hit a FOV key, see below).
You must be in "independent" control mode to adjust the FOV; if you're using mouselook, press F10 to turn off "legacy" mode.
3) A word on FOV keys:
Three levels of zoom are also available by using Del (FOV 30), End (FOV 70) and PageDown (FOV 90).
Unfortunately these are fixed horizontal FOV values so using these keys result in Vert- screen change. There seems to be no way to fix this (hard-coded values ?).
