Will be paired with my VKB gunfighter mk IV modern and kg12 grip. Prefer the kg12 grip tbh but may use the modern if i need more buttons. Was paired with x52 pro throttle but it's well used 20 year run has come to a halt. The trackir 6dof i am laying to rest also, the wiring gives me the shits and the pro clip is a pretty junky bit of kit.

Anything i need to know or is it all just smooth plug and play and decent ui to set up? Waiting on the Steam drop but will use dcs to get some air time while i wait.

I have GB via il2 launcher but haven't played in years anyway. Prefer my games all consolidated on Steam where possible.

Played il2 since inception right up to GB. Haven't jumped in for many many years. Was looking through steam and saw i had like 30 minutes in blitz and thought i'd give it a reinstall.

Went through the joystick setup in the main folder but did not work so had to set in game, seems fine though it needs some tweaking. VKB kg12 style stick and an old saitek x52 pro throttle. Wondering if joytokey is worth using or is it a dilemma? I have a trackir pro 5 6dof but not that invested to set it up yet.

Did a bunch of basic quick missions and ten out of ten shot down/killed by laser beam HE111 gunners. Could not find a setting to dull these terminators down a tad, ini setting maybe?

Also no mods/missions etc on Steam. Are they all external drop in mods or? Been out of the loop forever although i did put a ton of hours plus map/mission making in the original SoW/CloD.

Last also, how do i get rid of all the scrolling text left hand side of screen?

Cheers!
