Anybody figure out a way to program a POV HAT switch to control the view function while you fly that uses the Left CTRL + Mouse? Certainly would come in handy while flying chopper w/joystick to be able to look at what your gunner(s) are shooting at (especially on the transport choppers).
You can already see where your gunner is looking. There is a gunner POV bar and the gunner's view is a square that moves along a rectangle. Someone will post a screenshot soon.
What I'm asking about is actually being able to look sideways, up, down etc. EXAMPLE: Flying a transport heli and your gunner on one side is blasting away at a target to the left. I know you can hit the left CTRL+Mouse to actually look to the left to get your bearings so you can give your gunner a better angle. There has to be a way to program the Left CTRL + Mouse function on a HAT switch on a Joystick.
havent got a screenshot

I managed to find a really spiffy little program called "JoyToKey" that I find absolutely invaluable when flying in bf2. It has the ability to set certain key to toggle functionality of other keys on your joystick (for instance I have a key on the side that when held down allows me to use mouse look by moving my pov hat around...) and this would work wonders for issues such as spotting enemy vehicles by simply setting one button on your joystick to whatever your key is for the spotting menu and then make the joystick button also toggle your trigger to mouse click 1. Also, you can set multiple joystick profiles and set a button to toggle between them if you wish to have different settings for jets compared to choppers etc.[CANADA]_Zenmaster wrote:
-Also, I was not able to find a way to accept the radio "spotted" command from the joystick, which would be handy because you could "spot" the plane you are chasing and follow where he goes on the minimap easier; however, you can bring up the spotted menu with your joystick (POV UP for me) and then press mouse 1 to accept the command. This is useless in a dog fight unless you're fast, but handy for spotting enemy jets chasing an ally jet to help your team out.
update: This program has apparently become rather difficult to find in English since the author is from Japan, so I apologize for this link to a forums, but it was the only place I could find the latest version in English. Here it is, JoyToKey 3.79 En
