Is it necessary to modify POV command options?

No. WingMan Profiler provides game profiles for the majority of commercially available games. The profiles have an ideal command assignment for each device control (including POV command assignments if the device has one or more POVs). However, WingMan Profiler allows you to modify a command if you wish.

Is it necessary to edit the command for each direction of the POV?

To answer this question, it is important that you understand how POV commands work. Like an axis, a POV has multiple directions, and therefore requires a command for each direction. POVs have four or eight direction commands. You can edit the different direction commands separately for a single POV.  

If you edit the command mapping for one direction of a POV command, you should edit the command mapping for the other directions as well. If you do not, WingMan Profiler will use the default commands mapped to the other directions. This may or may not prove advantageous in combination with the command you mapped to the first direction.

What is involved in editing a POV command?

You can modify the following components of a POV command:

images\BULLET.gif The assigned command for a POV direction. You can select a different, existing command.

For example, you might change the mapping of "Look Left" from [Ctrl-key + A-key] to [Ctrl-key + B-key]. (When you remap a command, you can also change repeat rate for the command.)

What if my device has more than one POV?

Some devices, such as WingMan Interceptor, have multiple POVs. You configure each POV separately.
