This is a list of controls needed to learn flying and bombing at various altitudes with the Junkers Ju 88.

Your standard controls should all ready be set. Such as throttle and steering.

All of my controls are one touch keys. That is, no ALT X or Shift X. I use the X52 pro and have more than enough keys, so I don't have to change depending on aircraft.


Junkers Ju 88

Wheel Chocks

View-Position #1 (pilot)
View-position #2 (bombardier)
View-position #5 (ventral gunner) This position allows you to watch your bombs drop to target.

lean to gunsight

fuel cock #1
fuel cock #2
fuel cock #6
fuel cock #7 (#6 and #7 used to transfer fuel from outer to inner tanks)

engine #1 select
engine #2 select
all engines select

toggle selected engine (ignition)

primary cockpit illumination (toggle)

left wheel brakes
right wheel brakes

raise undercarriage
lower undercarriage

raise landing flaps
lower landing flaps

open radiator
close radiator

open oil radiator
close oil radiator

prop pitch +
prop pitch -

extend airbrake
retract airbrake

selected supercharger- next step
selected supercharger- previous step

elevator trim up
elevator trim down

rudder trim left
rudder trim right

aileron trim left
aileron trim right

course setter +
course setter - (sets compass heading)

gyro setter +
gyro setter - (calibrate to compass heading, also assists autopilot)

autopilot next
autopilot previous (selects between off, course, and 22 mode)
autopilot left
autopilot right (adjusts course once autopilot is engaged)

open bomb bay doors
close bomb bay doors

toggle bombs armed

toggle bomb distributor short delay

previous bomb bay
next bomb bay

previous bomb distributor mode
next bomb distributor mode (selects between single, series, and salvo bomb drop)

decrease bomb distributor salvo quantity
increase bomb distributor salvo quantity (sets the number of bombs to drop)

decrease bomb distributor delay
increase bomb distributor delay (sets the delay between each bomb in meters)

toggle bombsight automation

decrease sight distance
increase sight distance (aims bombsight distance)

sight altitude +
sight altitude - (used to set bomb sight altitude for bomb drop)

sight velocity +
sight velocity - (used to set IAS or TAS for bomb drop)

adjust sight left
adjust sight right (used to adjust side slip on bomb sight to account for wind)

drop ordnance (bomb)


Don't feel overwhelmed, we can show you how to use these controls with ease.

Some people like to use the mouse clickable dash, but I don't. Once all of your keys are set, you won't have to look for any controls around the cockpit of the various aircraft.

I also have an 'Info window' with my engine controls, vehicle damage, vehicle crew, vehicle secondary controls, and vehicle system showing, to allow me to see a digital readout of my throttle, supercharger, rads, oil rads, and other important info.

Also, you are going to need the LOTFE 7 chart. It will allow to see take-off altitude and target altitudes. For the Axis Bombers, it allows you to convert your IAS to TAS.

You get all that on x52? I must be missing a trick somewhere.

Every single button on my joystick and throttle are used.

This allowed me to free up my keyboard from multi-touch keys and turned them into one-touch.

I still have quite of few unassigned keys.

While on the subject and as a X52 Pro owner myself: Do you guys get a use for the pinkie switch without the joystick software?

No, just need key bindings. I believe they are on the left panel farther back, but not active.
