War Thunder: How to Scroll Through Flaps with your Mouse Wheel
War Thunder
I figured out how to scroll through your flaps using the assistance of a program. This will make it easier to alternate between flaps including jumping to landing flaps during turn fights and could make it much more comfortable because of its easy location.
Here's how to do it:
In all the methods, make sure you go to Controls - Mouse Aim - Basic - Mouse Wheel - Set it to None otherwise you'll be changing throttle as you try to change flaps.
Method 1 (The way I got it to work):
1. Download X-Mouse Button Control (http://www.highrez.co.uk/downloads/XMouseButtonControl.htm)
2. Add a Profile and select aces.exe (War Thunder) while the game is running. Press Ok.
3. Highlight the War Thunder profile and locate Wheel Up and Wheel Down. For both of them select Simulated Keys.
4. For Wheel Up type [ for flaps up in the custom key box. For Wheel Down type ] for flaps down in the custom key box.
5. Tick the box 'Only send if Profile's Process is active'
6. Under 'how to send the simulated key strokes' choose '8 Sticky (held down until button is pressed again)'
7. Press Ok, then press Apply. You may have to restart War Thunder again to have it functioning.
Method 2 (Requires no program installation)
1. Go to My Documents - My Games - War Thunder - Saves then open profile.config.blk with Notepad.
2. Locate ID_FLAPS_UP and ID_FLAPS_DOWN.
3. Replace deviceId:i=2 with deviceId:i=1
4. For Flaps UP replace buttonId:i=27 with buttonId:i=5
5. For Flaps Down replace buttonId:i=26 with buttonId:i=6
6. Save the file. Your Flaps Up and Flaps Down will be set down Mouse Wheel Up/Down
Method 3 (Script method)
1. Install AutoHotKey (http://www.autohotkey.com/)
2. Open notepad and type in the following:
+wheelup::send, {]}
+wheeldown::send, {[}
3. Save the file as WT.ahk
4. Double click the file to activate the script. Go in the game and enjoy.
