So I see how to re assign keys in the mapper but how do you unassign keys the game already uses?

For example, i want to remap the arrow keys to WASD, but the game, Comanche Maximum Overkill, has those assigned to MFDs, I can still fly with WASD but every time i change direction i change one of the MFDs.

Oh and can you have different mappings for different games?

You'd have to delete the default mappings for the W,A,S,D keys.

The keyboard mapping file is referenced by "mapperfile" in the config file, so by using a custom config for games they can have their own specific mappings.

Aah so I make a mapper file, rename the mapper file and link to it in the cfg file?
