Battlefield 3 Key Binding issue fix, specifically the jet.

UPDATE: http://bf3.realmware.co.uk/settings-editor/downloads since update 2.3 released on January 5th it pretty much does everything now.

First of all I have to thank 2 specific blog entries as they were very helpful

In fact the second was nice benefit as I use ‘E’ to spot and ‘Q’ is how I enter/exit vehicles. The key binding issue in Battlefield 3 comes down to they didn’t necessarily hard code the controls, they just didn’t have the rebind function, do all the commands it should. You can clearly see this in the ‘q’ spotting article. Now the reason I had to write this key binding article the jets. So when I bind a key to decelerate other than ‘s’ you will see that ‘s’ will still decelerate, even if it’s bound to something else. I use a variation of an old quake config that I can’t play first person shooters any other way. [Space=forward, a=backwards, s=strafe left, d=strafe right]. So for me ‘s’ is going to be yaw left which it did, however it would also decelerate. And if I set ‘A’ to throttle down, it did nothing, unless you were in SU-39 Frogfoot which if you were in third person you can see the air brakes deployed. Yet in first person you can clearly see they are not slowing you down with your speed on the

GstKeyBinding.jet.ConceptBrake.0.axis 0
GstKeyBinding.jet.ConceptBrake.0.button 30
GstKeyBinding.jet.ConceptBrake.0.negate 0
GstKeyBinding.jet.ConceptBrake.0.type 0
^this is the only thing the keybinding from the gui does.
This is your throttle up
GstKeyBinding.jet.ConceptMoveFB.1.axis 0
GstKeyBinding.jet.ConceptMoveFB.1.button 57
GstKeyBinding.jet.ConceptMoveFB.1.negate 0
GstKeyBinding.jet.ConceptMoveFB.1.type 0
When binding the throttle down BF3 needs to be patched so it actually binds the following, which You can add into the config.
GstKeyBinding.jet.ConceptMoveFB.2.axis 0
GstKeyBinding.jet.ConceptMoveFB.2.button 30
GstKeyBinding.jet.ConceptMoveFB.2.negate 1
GstKeyBinding.jet.ConceptMoveFB.2.type 0
^this is the throttle down that will actually help.
Cool so I did all this and I should be good to go, ‘A’ will not decelerate, but ‘S’ is still slowing me down as well. That brings me to my next discovery that “GstKeyBinding.gunner” keys actually affect the jet.
So I needed to do the following
GstKeyBinding.gunner.ConceptMoveFB.2.axis 0
GstKeyBinding.gunner.ConceptMoveFB.2.button 30
GstKeyBinding.gunner.ConceptMoveFB.2.negate 1
GstKeyBinding.gunner.ConceptMoveFB.2.type 0
I didn’t have to bother rebinding the rest of the gunner as far as I know, I have not had it break anything.

That’s My story, now like the blog entry above that talks about config fixes I am going to explanation to how BF3 config actually works.

GstKeyBinding.gunner.ConceptMoveFB.2.axis 0
GstKeyBinding.gunner.ConceptMoveFB.2.button 30
GstKeyBinding.gunner.ConceptMoveFB.2.negate 1
GstKeyBinding.gunner.ConceptMoveFB.2.type 0

So let us break this down.
GstKeyBindng = letting the game know this is a key binding
Gunner/vehicle/jet/infantry/etc. = This lets the game know what instance to use this binding in
ConceptMoveFB = This lets the game know what kind of binding it is (side note: FB, most likely stands for forward Back)
2 = it’s the 3rd (because the count starts at 0) key that is bound to do this action
Axis/button/negate/type: a little more explanation needs to go here.
Axis = This is where I am not at a full understanding, this is more for editing mouse movements, joysticks, and controllers. Since this article is focused on keyboard/mouse, axis 0 should suffice.
Button = they key, or joystick button that the action is bound to i.e. 30 on the keyboard is ‘a’
Negate = for FB 0 is forward because it’s not negated, and if its negated with ‘1’ its backwards. And for LR(left right) or YAW, 0 is right, and left is 1.

The keyboard buttons, it starts at tilde which is ‘1’ which 2 is ‘1’ also based on full keyboard.
And it counts from there, however it doesn’t appear to count all the keys in order either.
So I do some work to figure out the keys

New job test tommorow

Yea so I've been a little preoccupied with things to write, however I thought about writing quite a few times just never really got around to it. Well anyways I started my new job last week 10-26-09 w00t! and so far so good I do believe I am the youngest person out of my hire group(class).. yea there is this 5 week class that we go through for a "Major Telecom Company that has a contract with Telvista" I am actually not aloud to say what company it is, however I believe telvista's website has all their contracts *cough*. So blockbuster is completely done with and what was my store is suppose to become and "permanent outlet store" which means they won't rent, but not close either even though on my last day we got store closing signs... upper management is still lying to my once fellow employees that the store will not close. We'll see and honestly I would love it to stay open. Anyways maybe not working their I will actually stop talking about the old BBV well until I get a combo movie or game pass.... So I've got a 2nd xbox 360 nice and modded to play my backups... and honestly its great for lanning as well instead of buying the game twice (I do own a legit copy of these) I just hate split screen that much....

I thought I would be bored of my phone already, but new roms and apps continually come out.... now I still get jealous about newer phones coming out especially that Verizon is getting the new DROID which is just amazing, yet I am sure that when my contract is up there will be absolutely amazing phones out... now T-Mobile was DOWN yesterday... all over the united states effecting (they said 5% of their customers) yet twitter and message boards... lead me to believe that it is way higher than that.

Sudden stop here I am not fully sure how to end today's post, other than I am going to make my Girlfriend some dinner and pamper her tonight she has had a rough week with her "new" job (had for a few months) so shes already to job hunt... but I am hoping to relax her some tonight...
