Hey guys, will take you trough my Controls Setup today. Has been requested so many times over the years, i thought it was time to take you trough it. Let me know what you do different, less on the mouse would be logical for most ppl i guess, not everyone has a 15 button mouse ;) If you enjoy do Support the channel with a Like, Comment, Share and Subscribe if you havnt yet! Have a great day! o7
Very interesting setup. It suggests that you don't use missiles very much as you have everything clustered close together, except for missile firing where your hands are completely off other controls (unless you have incredibly long fingers). I have throttle on the mouse wheel. I mostly play ground RB and do CAS in planes. My setup aims to have similar functions for all vehicle types on the same buttons. Playing tanks, helicopters and planes keeps things very busy. I really enjoy dogfighting in CAS but just cannot find any pleasure in air RB so research is painfully slow.
Pro tip for controls : In the bottom left corner of the settings screen, click the save icon, and export your settings to a file. This will help you to restore settings if you accidentally change something, or gaijin decides to delete your controls.
I wish I had done this at one point. Ive done it now thats for sure. Last time I accidentally reset them somehow it was a total bollockache getting them right again.
Now this was a pleasant surprise! Excellent for the morning coffee. I’ve been flying for years and it’s always interesting to see other pilots' preferred setup. This should be a great video for anyone that’s still trying to get their feet wet.
I just tried a little of this -- specifically the flight controls -- and there are definite advantages to being able to look around you all the time and I do love the smooth curves and hell yes to eliminating nose wobble entirely. But when you're (I'm) chasing a target it is difficult keeping that target in sight. Especially after I start performing some radical manoeuvres. And how on Goddess' Green Earth do you actually line up a target in your crosshairs using keys? I'm totally unable to do it! Even going for stationary ground target takes so much lining up and adjustment and counter adjustment that I still don't hit it most of the time. I've no clue how I would keep the crosshairs on a twisting plane.
@@jengar6258 Thanks for the reply Jengar, this is good to know. Does this mean that you've got the default 'c'-key for look-around bound to another button on your 15-button mouse?
This has ALWAYS been the biggest challenge of Air RB to me. "Beginner's RB tips" vt vids are pretty much the same: things like "climb", "recognize energy states", etc etc. All of which are of course valid, and appropriate to the topic. lol, and I do those things (or at least try to...with mixed success). But I've never seen one that really breaks down this one down: plane control during the necessary transition between keyboard for maneuvering, back to mouse for aiming/shooting. After some time in a dogfight, energy states (for both participants) have degraded enough that the transition is pretty easy to take a shot...if one is still alive. But I know I miss all kinds of fleeting shot opportunities during the "radical maneuvering" initial/mid stages of a fight. Opportunities that my opponents DON'T miss.
@@Biggles266 I know I'm late to the party with this but I have a basic 3 button mouse (right and left mouse buttons and then mouse wheel that I can press making it button 3), I've got my free look bound to right mouse button, fire button bound to left mouse button, throttle to the mouse wheel, then target select is bound to where I just press the mouse wheel. For me it made looking around alot easier than trying to find the C key. I have throttle also bound to my left control and windows button (I'm on console so it doesn't bounce me out of the window like I've done on PC lol) so that I can press the keyboard for dropping or increasing throttle drastically and mouse wheel for small throttle adjustments. WASD for roll and pitch with QE for yaw. I then have 1,2,&3 bound to individual weapons for when I want to only fire a certain calibers instead of just pump lead. It's all what ends up being smooth and easy for you.
left 2 comments cuz im dumb didnt understand the concept of useing free cam and then temporarily using wasd to dodge and using mouse aim usually. THANK YOU FOR VID STILL HELPFUL 2 YEARS LATER
I’m a console player so I’ve always had to deal with controls being a bit scuffed. Do you think sometime in the future you could do a video on those because I love this game and you make the best tutorials I know.
Get a mouse and keyboard combo that share a single USB antenna. Logitech makes a decent one. Costs like 30 bucks. Been playing warthunder with it on my Xbox since it came to console.
@@windowlicker6996I have to second this but on PS5..the sooner you get your self a mouse and keyboard for Xbox or PS, the sooner ur Warthunder life will be easier
I just discovered the game and have been watching your videos and amazed at how good you are! I've been flying the plane wirth my trackpad and can abrely aim. Going to have to give flying with the keyboard a shot no doubt!
You cannot use W/S for Pitch control on Consoles( with KnM), if you use all 3 (Pitch,Yaw,Ailerons) together it doesn't work I use a Anti Ghosting Keyboard and can press Look down, Mouse look, Airbrakes,..more than 3 all together but not the Flight controls. Maybe someone can cross check that? It is hard to Defensiv or Energy flying on Consols even with Keyboard n Mouse. But great work as always Jengar!!!!! Please make a tutorial for using your technique for Look/Control at the same time. Thank you
Hi Jengar, perhaps you can provide an answer to something that has been bothering me for some time: I've been playing Arcade for quite a while but, when I try Realistic, I find it less than satisfying. In your videos, your plane moves smoothly and rather crisply, but when I try it, the plane floats and flounders around like a wounded whale. I have a rather good set-up that serves me well in Arcade, but in Realistic I don't enjoy it because of the way the planes respond. I realize they over-respond in Arcade (in my misspent youth I used to fly), but the planes do not respond realistically in Realistic mode, either. So, I'm hoping that you have the answer to what I have been missing so I can eliminate that "floating" feeling that I have been experiencing.
Jengar: I have 12 side buttons on my mouse so I can control the aircraft properly Me: I have 2 side buttons and I can't even reach one of them (I have stupidly small hands xD) Love your videos btw :)
@@jengar6258 Thanks for the reply Jengar! I know you are busy, and I appreciate you taking the time. You are GREAT about responding!

What's the difference between having autocontrol of engine on and of? Does it prevent you from using mec?
2 года назад
Just checked, in spanish it is called "aceleración automática", and that translates to "automatic acceleration, so... I now even less now what it does XD
@ Hmm... maybe it either autochanges supercharger gears (though I believe its supposed to do that anyway without MEC on), or throttles down when you're about to rip?
Hi! I’ve had my throttle up on shift but whenever I try to bank right (D) whilst using WEP (Shift+D) it swaps between flares and chaff or something? Where can I disable or change this?
Hi Jengar, I saw all your videos in that, I found while u been chased by the enemy and made them overshoot u that time your sight was always on the enemy movement. why I cannot do that I always lost the enemy then killed. I tried to hold c to look behind but once crashed while playing in the city map. please also explain how you are doing that. Thanks
I love useing mouse aim for RB with my sim throttle it has like 60 buttons. So it’s really enjoyable to aim with mouse and use the switches and hats for gear flaps arming firing buttons. I have a flight stick but no pedals and I’m really bad at aiming with Joystick. (Virpil ussr style pieces flight stick throttle and control panel)
I’m having problems with throttle for these controls. If I’m not holding down either option, it just stays at 47%. How do I make it so it’s adjustable instead of always having 0% 47% or WEP
I just purchased a Me-110 G type. I can fire first two cannons seperately (I have different keys bound for each) However, the secondary weapons, which are cannons also, are not working. I had the secondary weapons (or "AG" on the HUD bound to shift. How do I get the third set of cannons to fire independantly also ?
Thamk you, yes. I discovered that from just trial & error and researching the aircraft Bf-110-G4, that it is indeed the Shräge Musik cannon. I appreciate your prompt reply. I prefer your WT tutorials over many others. -Your delivery and style is easy fornmento follow 😎
I know I'm late to the party with this but do you fly with instructor turned off or anything? You seem to never, NEVER fight the instructor when flying. Gonna rewatch this video and see if I miss anything but I've been playing for awhile now and still feel jerky alot of times. Also I'm using and mouse and keyboard on ps4, do the aiming axis do anything that would help? Can I toggle that to my mouse and if so then how?
I recommend trying the salvo option when you have a high quantity of rockets, i.e. French SNEB corsair, as without it, you will spend more time loitering over what will eventually become enemy SPAA. Easy way to distribute ordnance over a target, say, 10 to 20 rockets on a target wherein it takes one or two successful impacts to kill. Then again, I don't think I remember ever seeing you play Ground RB.
When flying via keyboard, how do you fly smoothly? Aren't you effectively jamming full 100% rudder/elevator/aileron? Your flying looks too smooth and controlled.
@@jengar6258 yes yes than you and dogfhit tip and tricks because I was battlefield 3 dogfighting but warthunde is completely different so relly difficult to do so now I spend like akot money 💰 🤑 💸 😄 and I'm totally screwed because I don't know haft of the planes or how to properly dogfhit

Minimize the instructor. for the rest you have to get used to the FM's in RB. It takes time. I only transitioned to RB after 28K kills in AB.
You need to build up more speed before you start the climb. Thats the secret Ive found. Be patient everything goes slower in realistic.
