Help please...In the midst of an evenings flying some of my keys decided not to work in FS2002!specifically the ones that do "important" things like open and close throttle, open the ATC window and change views in the simulator and also switch sound on and off!oddly enough if I open the ATC window using the dropdown menu the numeric numbers along the top work!!!does anyone have any possible reason for this problem? In addition any idea of a fix would be great.areas I have proven so far that won't fix it are:-1 NUM LOCK key2 ALT repetitive use3 Restart of FS2002cheers Ian

Hi Ian,Yes this is a real pain in the ........Its happened to me several times, although I have no idea why, the most common problems are FPS counter (SHIFT Z), Views, Joystick all stop working. The only way round this is to redo the assignments and reallocate the keys to the function you want performed.Start FS2K2 / Settings / AssignmentsThen set up a flight check the functions and assignments works then press CTRL C (to exit)Re-boot / Start FS2k2and it should work fineBest Wishes,ChrisEGBB
