Key (ù) and (I) have no effect! (CFS3 & OFF P3)

Hello,

I did not find how to use these two functions:
- View locked (key U): the action does nothing.
- Indicator enemy (key I): its announcement of a cone laid on or off, but nothing else is.


However, these keys are working properly:
- Tactical indicator (key T)
- Labeling equipment (key ctrl + shift + L)
- key F3, F4, F5


Would you help me to understand and correct these two anomalies ? :help:

Thank you in advance



 
Hello,
from your name i assume there is a french keyboard layout (?). Did you set your region, or language settings to US, or English ?
Apart from that you can customize your controls to what suits you best, and reprogram all keys to what you like in the "mine" settings. Since i do not like the original MS-keys due to me not being an octopus, or downright crazy, this is the first i do after any OFF-installation .. :whistle:

i key

dont know about the u.. but the cone only works if you have an item targeted (tab key cycles targets) and is limited to what you are displaying in your tac (ie if you have just aircraft in your tac, you cannot target an airfield) .

sorry if i am telling you something you already know.

Press ESC, in flight, go to controls. You can edit them !

Then Save as "Mine"
 
Hi Jaques,

are you sure you did not disabled these functions in the CFSCONFIG?

Just a thought:rapture:
 
My key command reference says that 'U' is the Measurement System toggle...switches between feet and metres etc.

Not sure what 'view locked' means (padlock??). If so, Padlock toggle is '(accent) of Joystick Button 8

You can edit them too whatever key you wish

The ( I ) key is a CFS3 command, which has No use in OFF, yet some do favor it. It's the targetting cone, a bright green aparition that points the way to enemy activity. I'm a massive cheat, and I would never use it, but some do.

The other is only on a French Keyboard :ernae:
 
Hello All,

Just curious...Is there a tutorial for remapping the keys inside the game. Also, I have not flown CFS3 very much at all so I have no experience setting alternate key mappings to the joystick buttons. I have a Saitek USB joystick with twist rudder and lever throttle and 8 buttons. I have Sandbagger's keystroke chart with all the default game key mappings. I have another matrix, with no idea where it came from, that shows all the default joystick button mappings. Gimpyguy says he has mapped several keyboard commands to his hat switch. Can anybody share their knowledge?

It's easy really, just load up OFF, get airborne on a 'test' flight, hit esc - a pop-down menu appears on the right; select 'controls', scroll down the list of commands, highlight the one you want to fiddle with, click 'add assignment', press the keyboard or joystick button you want to perform that function. Repeat as desired; save the new setup as ' mine ', click resume game, test your new mappings! I like to use spacebar as ' padlock enemy toggle ' as I can find it quickly when playing in a dark room at night.
I hope this is what you were looking for? If not, apologies.:whistle:

Hey Olpaint that fancy stuff for the joystick, is for somebody running a Trackir ... and anybody who isn't, is gonna find out real quick, the available views in CFS3 and OFF Stink BAD

I wouldn't even know where to start . . it's been that long

Does your joystick have a model # so I see the picture, I'm willing to give it a shot
 
Hello,
Thank you very much for your help, but I confirmed the order (ù and I) in the “control and mine ", but this does not change the problem.
Action on the (ù and I) have no effects: (ù) a view locked without parenthesis yellow and (I) indicator enemy without pointed cone.
Forums viewed not give me anything yet, it is possible that my "English" is incorrect.
Would you help me understand and correct these two anomalies? :help:
Thank you in advance

Jaques, maybe you need to first bring up the "radar" shift+t

press T

Now try those keys.

OR as we say, please assign NEW keys to those actions ?
 
Or don't worry about these functions. Do you really need them? I never used them and always played OK.

Hello
these keys are working properly:
- Tactical indicator (key T)
- Labeling equipment (key ctrl + shift + L)
- key F3, F4, F5
The change keys for ù and I, does nothing.
Is it the adaptation of language (French / U.S. English) who is necessary for the properly functioning of OFFP3 would not be the cause of these anomalies?
Thank you for your help
 
Jacques understood, yes but can you not ADD another key to use? I understand they do not work, but instead add a NEW key to use for that?? Did you press Esc, in game and go into config and add a DIFFERENT key to use?
 
There is NO ~U on an English keyboard, it could be anything, I have No Way to tell. The ( I ) should be the targeting cone, which would become visable ONLY when other views are allowed, off-hand I wouldn't what they are. . . I wouldn't be too concerned about it . . perhaps YOU are.
