A block file (*.blk) is a file holding relatively small pieces of data for the game in text form and is used in various places where mostly power users and modders are encouraged to make changes or add content to the game. WarThunder itself also stores settings in the config.blk file in the game’s root directory.

While most data is stored in binary formats, which are faster to read by computer programs and usually smaller than text formats, the latter has the benefits of being human readable and editable with a basic text editing program instead of complex editing software. Every text file format such as HTML needs to provide enough structure for a computer program to recognize and itemize the contained data while giving the human editor a degree freedom to e.g. add comments or insert blank lines for better organization.

==Structure==
 
−
The below excerpt from a config.blk illustrates the basic structure of a block file. There are assignments of values ("medium") to named items (''cloudsQuality'') of a specific data type indicated by a short code (''t'') and named groups such as "graphics" which provide some structure by wrapping other assignments and groups inside curly braces.

+
  3.1.2 SWAP JOYSTICK MODE
−
   
+
  3.1.3 FLIGHT / SPORTS MODE
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>Because of the power requirements of the WingMan RumblePad they will not
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>function on unpowered USB hubs. Powered hubs require the use of an
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>external power supply such as an AC adapter to provide power for the
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>USB hub. Unpowered hubs draw their power from the USB port on the computer.
 
−
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>3.1.2 SWAP JOYSTICK MODE
 
−
   
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>The software allows the swapping of the functions for the left and
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>right joysticks. To swap the functions of the joysticks do the following:
 
−
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>1. Click "Start", "Settings", "Control Panel".
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>2. Double-click "Game Controllers".
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>3. Select "WingMan RumblePad" and click "Properties".
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>4. Click "Settings" and check the box marked "Enable Swap Mode".
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>5. Click "OK" to save the settings.
 
−
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>3.1.3 FLIGHT / SPORTS MODE
 
−
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>Some gamepads have a mode button to switch between Flight Simulation Mode and
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>Sports Action mode.
 
−
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>Flight Simulation Mode (mode LED is on/green) :-
 
−
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>  - movement is controlled by the left joystick in X and Y axis directions
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>  - the D-Pad controls an eight way POV view from the cockpit
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>  - the throttle controls the engine speed
 
−
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>Sports/Action Mode (mode LED is off/red) :-
 
−
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>  - cursor movement is controlled by the D-Pad
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>  - the left joystick controls the POV

  3.2 CORDLESS DEVICES
 
  3.2 CORDLESS DEVICES
−
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>This Logitech 2.4GHz products uses sophisticated channel- and
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>frequency-hopping technology to avoid interference with other cordless
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>devices. We have conducted extensive testing of this product with other
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>2.4GHz devices and rf- (radio frequency) emitting devices (cordless phones,
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>cordless headsets, wireless networks, cordless cameras, a/v sender/receivers,
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>etc.). In the majority of circumstances, users will not experience any rf
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>interference between this Logitech 2.4GHz product and those devices.
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>However, it is possible that in some cases interference may occur. This
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>interference could result in  erratic behavior of the devices or complete
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>loss of signal. If you notice this behavior, or static, clicking, or
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>humming of other devices, then there are a few simple actions you can
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>take to reduce or eliminate the interference.
 
−
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>a. Increase the distance between the Logitech 2.4GHz receiver and
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>  the other cordless devices/receivers.
 
−
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>b. Turn off other cordless devices that are in close proximity when
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>  using the Logitech Cordless 2.4GHz Product.
 
−
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>c. To verify that your Logitech 2.4GHz Product is connected and working
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>  properly, check it through the Game Controller Control Panel.

<nowiki> </nowiki>This wheel button is a unique feature that provides an
+
4. GAME-SPECIFIC NOTES
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>alternative method to perform button presses. The wheel button is
+
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>configured to have the functionality of three separate and
+
  4.1 FORCE FEEDBACK GAMES
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>independent joystick buttons. The three button functions are labeled
+
  4.2 USING A GAMEPAD/JOYSTICK IN FIRST PERSON SHOOTER GAMES
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>as buttons 7, 8, and 9 on the joystick.
+
 
−
+
5.  TROUBLESHOOTING
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>- Button 7 is activated by pressing down on the wheel button.
+
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>- Button 8 is activated by rotating the wheel forward by
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>  one notch movement.
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>- Button 9 is activated by rotating the wheel backward by
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>  one notch movement.
 
−
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>Please note that each wheel notch movement corresponds to a press
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>and release button activation. Therefore, if the wheel is rotated
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>forward by two notch movements, this would act as two Button 8
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>activations. If the wheel is rotated forward by ten notch movements,
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>this would act as ten Button 8 activations.
 
−
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>Changes in wheel rotation direction are quickly acted upon as a
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>different button activation. This will cause any previous button
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>activations that may be in the queue to be cleared out. For example, if
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>the wheel had been rotated forward by ten notch movements and then
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>rotated backward by one notch movement, the ten Button 8 activations
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>would start to get processed until the backward movement was detected.
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>Once the backward movement was detected, a Button 9 activation would be
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>processed and any remaining Button 8 activations would be cleared out.
 
−
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>Below are some suggested uses of the wheel button:
 
−
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>- Quickly select and fire weapons.
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>- Rotate the wheel forward and backward to select weapons and
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>  then press down to fire.
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>- Target next enemy aircraft, previous enemy aircraft, and closest
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>  enemy aircraft. Rotate the wheel forward for next enemy,  rotate backward
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>  for previous enemy, and press down to target closest enemy.
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>- Change gears in racing games. Rotate the wheel forward one notch to
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>  shift up and rotate backward one notch to shift down.
 
−
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>Hat switch number 2 (labeled "H2" on the joystick) is configured to report as
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>eight independent buttons.
 
−
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>  Button 10  H2 north
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>  Button 11  H2 east
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>  Button 12  H2 south
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>  Button 13  H2 west
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>  Button 14  H2 north east
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>  Button 15  H2 south east
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>  Button 16  H2 south west
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>  Button 17  H2 north west

4. GAME-SPECIFIC NOTES
 
−
 
−
  <nowiki> </nowiki>4.1 FORCE FEEDBACK GAMES
 
−
   
 
−
Many games that support force feedback have this option disabled by default. The
 
−
reason for this is that currently the majority of joysticks on the market do not
 
−
support force feedback. Having force feedback enabled with a non-force feedback
 
−
controller connected is unnecessary and could possibly cause errors or
 
−
conflicts. Refer to the documentation that came with the game for details on how
 
−
to enable and configure force feedback in the game.
 
−
 
−
 
−
<nowiki> </nowiki>4.2 USING A GAMEPAD/JOYSTICK IN FIRST PERSON SHOOTER GAMES
 
−
 
−
All games do not support input from a joystick or gamepad. Many of the first
 
−
  person shooter games, role playing games, strategy games, and golf games are
 
−
designed for use with a "mouse + keyboard". Please check in game documentation
 
−
to determine if your game supports a joystick/gamepad, and for details on how
 
−
to configure such a device within the game.

  5.1 3RD-PARTY INSTALLATION PROGRAMS
−
 
−
It is suggested that the Windows uninstaller be used rather than 3rd party

conflicts with an installation monitoring program, quit the installation, then
 
−
turn off the installation monitoring program and re-install LGS.

The names of data items and groups are implied by the game. There are usually either example files highlighting the available options or pages in this Wiki about them. Their exact spelling and casing is important or the game will silently ignore the provided values and resort to defaults. Speaking of which, the default values are usually sensible and if they suit you, allow you to omit some lines from your block file to keep it slim. Some block files expect you to mention a name multiple times to create an array of values, like the line drawing block in [[user-made sighting reticles]]:

3.0 DEVICE SPECIFIC NOTES
 +
 
 +
This section describes specific issues encountered when installing the software
 +
with certain Logitech game controllers.
 +
 
 +
3.1 GAMEPADS
 +
 
 +
3.1.1 USING RUMBLEPAD WITH UNPOWERED (BUS POWERED) USB HUBS
 +
 
 +
Because of the power requirements of the WingMan RumblePad they will not
 +
function on unpowered USB hubs. Powered hubs require the use of an
 +
external power supply such as an AC adapter to provide power for the  
 +
USB hub. Unpowered hubs draw their power from the USB port on the computer.
 +
 
 +
3.1.2 SWAP JOYSTICK MODE
 +
 
 +
The software allows the swapping of the functions for the left and  
 +
right joysticks. To swap the functions of the joysticks do the following:
 +
 
 +
1. Click "Start", "Settings", "Control Panel".
 +
2. Double-click "Game Controllers".
 +
3. Select "WingMan RumblePad" and click "Properties".
 +
4. Click "Settings" and check the box marked "Enable Swap Mode".
 +
5. Click "OK" to save the settings.
 +
 
 +
3.1.3 FLIGHT / SPORTS MODE
 +
 
 +
Some gamepads have a mode button to switch between Flight Simulation Mode and
 +
Sports Action mode.
 +
 
 +
Flight Simulation Mode (mode LED is on/green) :-
 +
 
 +
    - movement is controlled by the left joystick in X and Y axis directions
 +
    - the D-Pad controls an eight way POV view from the cockpit
 +
    - the throttle controls the engine speed
 +
 
 +
Sports/Action Mode (mode LED is off/red) :-
 +
 
 +
    - cursor movement is controlled by the D-Pad
 +
    - the left joystick controls the POV
 +
 
 +
3.2 CORDLESS DEVICES
 +
 
 +
This Logitech 2.4GHz products uses sophisticated channel- and
 +
frequency-hopping technology to avoid interference with other cordless
 +
devices. We have conducted extensive testing of this product with other
 +
2.4GHz devices and rf- (radio frequency) emitting devices (cordless phones,
 +
cordless headsets, wireless networks, cordless cameras, a/v sender/receivers,  
 +
etc.). In the majority of circumstances, users will not experience any rf
 +
interference between this Logitech 2.4GHz product and those devices.
 +
However, it is possible that in some cases interference may occur. This
 +
interference could result in  erratic behavior of the devices or complete
 +
loss of signal. If you notice this behavior, or static, clicking, or
 +
humming of other devices, then there are a few simple actions you can
 +
take to reduce or eliminate the interference.
 +
 
 +
a. Increase the distance between the Logitech 2.4GHz receiver and
 +
    the other cordless devices/receivers.
 +
 
 +
b. Turn off other cordless devices that are in close proximity when
 +
    using the Logitech Cordless 2.4GHz Product.
 +
 
 +
c. To verify that your Logitech 2.4GHz Product is connected and working
 +
    properly, check it through the Game Controller Control Panel.
 +
 
 +
3.3 WINGMAN STRIKE FORCE 3D
 +
 
 +
This wheel button is a unique feature that provides an
 +
alternative method to perform button presses. The wheel button is
 +
configured to have the functionality of three separate and
 +
independent joystick buttons. The three button functions are labeled
 +
as buttons 7, 8, and 9 on the joystick.
 +
 
 +
- Button 7 is activated by pressing down on the wheel button.
 +
- Button 8 is activated by rotating the wheel forward by
 +
  one notch movement.
 +
- Button 9 is activated by rotating the wheel backward by
 +
  one notch movement.
 +
 
 +
Please note that each wheel notch movement corresponds to a press
 +
and release button activation. Therefore, if the wheel is rotated
 +
forward by two notch movements, this would act as two Button 8
 +
activations. If the wheel is rotated forward by ten notch movements,
 +
this would act as ten Button 8 activations.
 +
 
 +
Changes in wheel rotation direction are quickly acted upon as a
 +
different button activation. This will cause any previous button
 +
activations that may be in the queue to be cleared out. For example, if
 +
the wheel had been rotated forward by ten notch movements and then
 +
rotated backward by one notch movement, the ten Button 8 activations
 +
would start to get processed until the backward movement was detected.
 +
Once the backward movement was detected, a Button 9 activation would be
 +
processed and any remaining Button 8 activations would be cleared out.
 +
 
 +
Below are some suggested uses of the wheel button:
 +
 
 +
- Quickly select and fire weapons.
 +
- Rotate the wheel forward and backward to select weapons and
 +
  then press down to fire.
 +
- Target next enemy aircraft, previous enemy aircraft, and closest
 +
  enemy aircraft. Rotate the wheel forward for next enemy,  rotate backward
 +
  for previous enemy, and press down to target closest enemy.
 +
- Change gears in racing games. Rotate the wheel forward one notch to
 +
  shift up and rotate backward one notch to shift down.
 +
 
 +
Hat switch number 2 (labeled "H2" on the joystick) is configured to report as
 +
eight independent buttons.
 +
 
 +
  Button 10  H2 north
 +
  Button 11  H2 east
 +
  Button 12  H2 south
 +
  Button 13  H2 west
 +
  Button 14  H2 north east
 +
  Button 15  H2 south east
 +
  Button 16  H2 south west
 +
  Button 17  H2 north west
 +

4. GAME-SPECIFIC NOTES
 +
 
 +
4.1 FORCE FEEDBACK GAMES
 +
 
 +
Many games that support force feedback have this option disabled by default. The
 +
reason for this is that currently the majority of joysticks on the market do not
 +
support force feedback. Having force feedback enabled with a non-force feedback
 +
controller connected is unnecessary and could possibly cause errors or
 +
conflicts. Refer to the documentation that came with the game for details on how
 +
to enable and configure force feedback in the game.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
4.2 USING A GAMEPAD/JOYSTICK IN FIRST PERSON SHOOTER GAMES
 +
 
 +
All games do not support input from a joystick or gamepad. Many of the first
 +
person shooter games, role playing games, strategy games, and golf games are
 +
designed for use with a "mouse + keyboard". Please check in game documentation
 +
to determine if your game supports a joystick/gamepad, and for details on how
 +
to configure such a device within the game.
 +
 
 +
 
 +

5. TROUBLESHOOTING
 +
 
 +
This section describes solutions to specific problems you may have.  
 +
Also, you may refer to the Troubleshooting section of the LGS Online Help.
 +
 
 +
5.1 3RD-PARTY INSTALLATION PROGRAMS
 +
 
 +
It is suggested that the Windows uninstaller be used rather than 3rd party
 +
uninstall programs. If during LGS installation, there are any
 +
conflicts with an installation monitoring program, quit the installation, then
 +
turn off the installation monitoring program and re-install LGS.

3.0 DEVICE SPECIFIC NOTES

This section describes specific issues encountered when installing the software with certain Logitech game controllers.

3.1 GAMEPADS 

3.1.1 USING RUMBLEPAD WITH UNPOWERED (BUS POWERED) USB HUBS

Because of the power requirements of the WingMan RumblePad they will not 
function on unpowered USB hubs. Powered hubs require the use of an 
external power supply such as an AC adapter to provide power for the 
USB hub. Unpowered hubs draw their power from the USB port on the computer.

3.1.2 SWAP JOYSTICK MODE

The software allows the swapping of the functions for the left and

1. Click "Start", "Settings", "Control Panel".
2. Double-click "Game Controllers".
3. Select "WingMan RumblePad" and click "Properties".
4. Click "Settings" and check the box marked "Enable Swap Mode".
5. Click "OK" to save the settings.

3.1.3 FLIGHT / SPORTS MODE

Some gamepads have a mode button to switch between Flight Simulation Mode and 
Sports Action mode.

Flight Simulation Mode (mode LED is on/green) :-

   - movement is controlled by the left joystick in X and Y axis directions
   - the D-Pad controls an eight way POV view from the cockpit
   - the throttle controls the engine speed

Sports/Action Mode (mode LED is off/red) :-

   - cursor movement is controlled by the D-Pad
   - the left joystick controls the POV

3.2 CORDLESS DEVICES 

This Logitech 2.4GHz products uses sophisticated channel- and 
frequency-hopping technology to avoid interference with other cordless 
devices. We have conducted extensive testing of this product with other 
2.4GHz devices and rf- (radio frequency) emitting devices (cordless phones, 
cordless headsets, wireless networks, cordless cameras, a/v sender/receivers, 
etc.). In the majority of circumstances, users will not experience any rf 
interference between this Logitech 2.4GHz product and those devices. 
However, it is possible that in some cases interference may occur. This 
interference could result in  erratic behavior of the devices or complete 
loss of signal. If you notice this behavior, or static, clicking, or 
humming of other devices, then there are a few simple actions you can 
take to reduce or eliminate the interference.

a. Increase the distance between the Logitech 2.4GHz receiver and 
   the other cordless devices/receivers.

b. Turn off other cordless devices that are in close proximity when 
   using the Logitech Cordless 2.4GHz Product.

c. To verify that your Logitech 2.4GHz Product is connected and working 
   properly, check it through the Game Controller Control Panel.

3.3 WINGMAN STRIKE FORCE 3D 

This wheel button is a unique feature that provides an 
alternative method to perform button presses. The wheel button is 
configured to have the functionality of three separate and 
independent joystick buttons. The three button functions are labeled 
as buttons 7, 8, and 9 on the joystick. 

- Button 7 is activated by pressing down on the wheel button.
- Button 8 is activated by rotating the wheel forward by 
  one notch movement.
- Button 9 is activated by rotating the wheel backward by 
  one notch movement.

Please note that each wheel notch movement corresponds to a press 
and release button activation. Therefore, if the wheel is rotated 
forward by two notch movements, this would act as two Button 8 
activations. If the wheel is rotated forward by ten notch movements, 
this would act as ten Button 8 activations.

Changes in wheel rotation direction are quickly acted upon as a 
different button activation. This will cause any previous button 
activations that may be in the queue to be cleared out. For example, if 
the wheel had been rotated forward by ten notch movements and then 
rotated backward by one notch movement, the ten Button 8 activations 
would start to get processed until the backward movement was detected. 
Once the backward movement was detected, a Button 9 activation would be 
processed and any remaining Button 8 activations would be cleared out. 

Below are some suggested uses of the wheel button:

- Quickly select and fire weapons. 
- Rotate the wheel forward and backward to select weapons and 
  then press down to fire.
- Target next enemy aircraft, previous enemy aircraft, and closest 
  enemy aircraft. Rotate the wheel forward for next enemy,  rotate backward 
  for previous enemy, and press down to target closest enemy.
- Change gears in racing games. Rotate the wheel forward one notch to 
  shift up and rotate backward one notch to shift down.

Hat switch number 2 (labeled "H2" on the joystick) is configured to report as 
eight independent buttons. 

  Button 10  H2 north
  Button 11  H2 east
  Button 12  H2 south
  Button 13  H2 west
  Button 14  H2 north east
  Button 15  H2 south east
  Button 16  H2 south west
  Button 17  H2 north west


4. GAME-SPECIFIC NOTES 

4.1 FORCE FEEDBACK GAMES

Many games that support force feedback have this option disabled by default. The reason for this is that currently the majority of joysticks on the market do not support force feedback. Having force feedback enabled with a non-force feedback controller connected is unnecessary and could possibly cause errors or conflicts. Refer to the documentation that came with the game for details on how to enable and configure force feedback in the game. 


4.2 USING A GAMEPAD/JOYSTICK IN FIRST PERSON SHOOTER GAMES

All games do not support input from a joystick or gamepad. Many of the first person shooter games, role playing games, strategy games, and golf games are designed for use with a "mouse + keyboard". Please check in game documentation to determine if your game supports a joystick/gamepad, and for details on how to configure such a device within the game.
