The A2A Simulations Community

Just returned to Bob ll after many years in the wilderness. My familiarity has grown very hazy and I need some basic help.
First I only use a basic old Flightstick Pro but I would like to map Button 2 to the target labelling task (T)--but cant find where to remap keyboard functions to stick buttons.
I also wonder if there is any way to zoom in on the external view more closely to the aircraft than the numeric pad+ seems to allow.
I would be very grateful for any help with these 2 issues (there may be more) and,as someone who lived through the Battle of Britain as a schoolboy, would like to thank and congratulate all those involved in the continuing improvements in this very evocative sim
Cheers

Hope you get some help.

Here is what the screen should look like. In the example I am mapping the "T" key to my joystick button #8:



In the Bdg.txt change the following line

External_View_Starting_Distance = 1.300000 #Sets the starting distance from the A/C in external view NOTE: set to 1.3 to get the old distance

Thanks for the help---sorted out the button mapping but a little confused re setting the external view distance. Where exactly do I locate the Bdg txt to change the Ext_View_Start_Dist
With apologies if I am missing the obvious.

PS Just located the bdg.txt and adjusted the external view distance

Thanks

I assume you have version 2.11 updtae installed. If you do the user manual is in the BOBII folder in the docs folder.

Appendix A is the Bdg.txt help and appendix is the key discriptions.
