Joystick Commands


Depending on the joystick, you’ll probably have buttons for frequently used controls in the Aircraft control / Pilot mode, but you’ll still need to use the mouse and keyboard for other functions in VBS2Combined Arms. One joystick contains 11 buttons (4 Buttons on top, 1 Trigger, 6 on the base), 3 axes (2 for X & Y and one throttle)
