Maybe impossible for the RAF teabags not for the Luftwaffe technical crews!
Easy to be done. Simply edit accordingly your ConfUser.ini file ( remember to make a backup of the original file first! ).
Every key/axis on your joystick/throttle have a specific ID number followed by the key\axis ID ( Sample based on my Thrustmaster joystick:
TWCS_Throttle-1126EC41+Key8, TWCS_Throttle-1126EC41+Key7, TWCS_Throttle-1126EC41+AXE_RZ, TWCS_Throttle-1126EC41+AXE_Z ).
Go to game options/controls and make a note of the various ID numbers linked to each key/axis you are using. Once you know the ID number you can easily edit the ConfUser.ini file using Notepad accordingly to your preferences.
Sample ( Here I have assigned the zoom in/out function both to my mouse buttons ( used with the right hand ) and to two throttle keys ( used with the left hand thumb ). Highlighted in black are the keys\axes used in these samples:
Code:
[HotKey viewSet]
TWCS_Throttle-1126EC41+Key8=fov+
Alt MouseLeft=DashBoard
TWCS_Throttle-1126EC41+Key7=StartStop
TWCS_Throttle-1126EC41+Key6=fov-
MouseFour=Reset
MouseMiddle=fov-
MouseLeft=fov+

* Ignore the " Field of view 30° " field, I've made an error while editing the image and I've included it in the sample red highlighted box
In the sample below instead I have edited the ConfUser.ini file in the same way but using joystick axis ( In this example the axis used is the "
Butterfly " lever in front of my Thrustmaster throttle ):
Code:
[HotKey viewSet]
TWCS_Throttle-1126EC41+AXE_RZ=fov+
Alt MouseLeft=DashBoard
TWCS_Throttle-1126EC41+Key7=StartStop
TWCS_Throttle-1126EC41+AXE_Z=fov-
MouseFour=Reset
MouseMiddle=fov-
MouseLeft=fov+

*Final note: If you have a key/axis working in the game, it is forced to have an unique ID number assigned to it. If you know the ID number then you can edit any key/axis you want following your preferences.
IMPORTANT TIP:: Before making your modifications to the file keep in mind that some axis buttons\levers\pedals are equipped with a re-center position mechanism! A tipycal example about this, is assigning an axis equipped with a re-center position mechanism to the propeller pitch...until you will keep pressed the axis chosen all ok...but soon as you will stop applying pressure on it or when you will be "
hands-off " from it, the selected axis, thanks to the re-center position mechanism, will return automatically to its middle position. In this example you will see your propeller pitch decreasing drammatically to about 5:30 o' clock position with the peril of damaging your aircraft's engine or, even worst, being caught in a danger situation with your engine almost out of power! So be careful in your axis choice!
I hope this is what you were searching for! See you in the skies!
