Hello!

In normal flight I love to have left/right up/down on my joystick, throttle on the slider, some stuff on the buttons, incl. activate button (for convinient docking, hyperjump, etc.), and on the Pov stick: Turbo, brakes, roll left and right.

But in Combat I don't need the activate button, I'd like to have 2nd fire and maybe 3rd fire. and on the pov stick strafe in all directions.

So I ask: is it possible to have more than one key/joy mappings and switch between them on the fly? And if not, how did you guys made it?

I have now the normal flight mode on the stick and strafe on the cursor keys and secondary and tertiary fire on ctrl and alt besides the cursor. But then i can't throttle, so i would need map that to keys too.
Or i map strafe on the pov and roll and turbo etc. to keys? But that makes normal flight stressy... how did you do that?

Thanks and greetings,

thats a great idea ray, but the last time i tested it the joystick buttons cant be mapped by the /bind commnad. (theres a thread about it in bugs somewhere) i'll have to test that when i get back to a computer that has a stick again as it has been about a month or so.

(on a related note the mouse buttons can be mapped using bind)

Make a bunch of aliases to rebind the keys, i.e.:

/alias set1 "bind key action; bind key2 action"
/alias switchkeys1 "set1; set2; set3"
/bind l switchkeys1

Do you get the idea?

you could go one step further and put a bunch of binds in 2 files (doing it how wgaf.cfg does it) and /load them with a pair of keybinds.

This sounds good! I'll do that soon, I guess, even if it's going to be complicated. Or has anyone already finished something like that and could share with me (so I could just modify for my own use..)

Thanks and greetings,
Stefan
