Any thoughts on this idea?

Well I guess not. Out of frustration, I am going to try making this mod myself then. I D/L'd some of the tools for a start, but now I will get the Java development kit going. I can code html fine-- but writing Java will be totally new. Any advice any of you may have would be most welcome and appreciated.

Here is my Use Case. I have this as my design document until I come up with more:
User shall have ability to control up to four engine throttles and four prop pitches in IL-2/1946. This ability will be accomplished by using a modification file set that will reside in Program_root/MODS.

Functionality will be as follows: User starts IL-2, navigates to Hardware Setup/Input/HOTAS Control. There user will have ability to set up to four USB controllers with axis to each of the Power positions.

Compatible USB controllers with axis may be considered mouse wheels, throttle control on up to four different USB joysticks, USB throttle quadrants of any manufacture.

Illustration of mock-up below:


Now how many of you might be interested in something like this? I have no idea of how long it will take me, or even if I can do it- all I know is I can't wait for someone else to do it.

My next posts on this subject will be in the MODS Beta section when I get something.

Wish me luck.
