Sorry, I cannot confirm Mike .. any control assigned to Shift / Ctrl / Alt will work only flawed for me if at all.
Please define "flawed".
I regularly have issues with all kind of "flag" keys (shift, alt, ctrl) set when I have Alt+Tabbed out of the game inbetween.
In that case, quite like in the good old IL-2 days, I hit left Alt twice, then Tab twice, and if this brings up any ingame dialog, hit escape to close it again.
This usually brings back my game to normal.
Two days ago I've had some issue where the Throttle Hat would no trigger my left/right wheel brake and instead would act like the POV 1 switch. But that switch doesn't even have any key assigned, so there must have been something strange going on elsewhere.

Either case, I've just checked my key assignments and the X-52 Pro mappings I use for BoX, lo and behold even the most basic thing uses Alt and Shift successfully for me:
Trigger 1 = Guns is mapped to Right Alt ("ALT GR") + Space
Trigger 2 = Guns+Cannons is mapped to Shift + Space

Both are working perfectly fine for me.

Best regards - Mike

Interesting.
I'll check that when I get the chance to.
If I get it to work, what do you owe me? ;D

Cheers!

As I understand it, if you can run RoF, you can run BoX.
Not quite. There's no BoX for 32Bit OS.
See the full matrix here, but remember: For Rise of Flight these are the recommended values while for BoX it's the minimum:

                      Rise of Flight                   Battle of <...>
                     
OS (32 Bit)  Windows® XP/Vista/7/8/10                      -
OS (64 Bit)  Windows® XP/Vista/7/8/10               Windows® 7/8/10
CPU          Intel® Coreâ,,¢ 2 Quad / i5/i7 2.6 GHz+   Intel® Coreâ,,¢ i5/i7 2.8 GHz+
GPU          GeForce GTX 260+/Radeon HD5850+        GeForce GTX 660+/Radeon HD 7770+

Such a shame that the developers have not made the use of HOTAS software compatible (such as Saitek X52) after repeated requests over a year ago
Very true.
I've got a further Saitek Throttle Quadrant together with my X52, but in BoX I don't have enough axis to assign even just to keep the X52 busy.
Toggle keys all over the place with lack of switches and axis.
I think it's a too small niche from the devs point of view.

only single key entries without the use of shift, ALT or Windows keys are sensed by the key assignment GUI
IIRC Shift + Ctrl work fine, but Alt and Windows keys don't.

Well that'll be much harder to achieve, but it matches my experience that you're usually joining after all Clowns have left.
At 2100 our time, missus expects me to give my full attention to her.
As I'm not prepared to be divorced, I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a day when missus is "out of office" in that case.

Cheers!

We normally login to the SAS server around 1800 CUT (GMT) on Tuesdays and Thursdays
Sounds viable.
We're GMT+1 here in germany at winter times, so this would be 1900 for Skylla and me, basically the time we meet anyway - if we do. It's a random thing :P

Hi folks,

Let me have some thread necromancy here 8)
Now that BoX has improved a lot during the past months and years, how about getting into the air together?
Just for fun, just to see how everything works together and to check the feasibility of further efforts in this direction?
Vincent (SAS~Skylla) and me have had a 1-hour-session last week and it's been fun to fly on a public but empty frogs server (empty so no one sees when we... guess it :P).
I'd be glad if we could repeat such session once in a while.

At the same time let me say that - most of you will know about it - we have a dedicated windows server running where there should be some free capacity to operate a BoX server on.
The Hardware we use has a quad core CPU with 12GB RAM, only one core is busy with the UP3 "Flying Ass Clowns" server since IL-2 1946 is strictly single threaded, and as much as I understand from a technical point of view, the BoX dedicated server currently is single core only as well (unfortunately one must say), so they should live side by side just fine.
I've applied for a Dedi Server license @1CGS and received it today, so if we decide to go full steam BoX, we have that option now as well.

So... if you're interested to have an online BoX session together, please reply and state your preferred (and maybe earliest and latest) timeframe so we can arrange something for all of us.

Cheers!
Mike
