January 10, 200323 yr I believe I have found a couple of minor bugs in RC3 that you might be interested in knowing about. Both concern redefinition of keyboard shortcuts:1. On my Danish keyboard I have the character
January 10, 200323 yr Commercial Member 1) since i can't test every keyboard out there, maybe i should put in the documentation that US style keyboards only :-)2) ouch. i'll need to not allow spaces on keyboard re-definitions. JD Read my blog
January 12, 200323 yr I don't mind too much if my keyboard acts like a US American one. Most American produced games behave like that. FS2002 is a brilliant exception to this trend, though.The real problem is that when I define my keys, my input is processed through the DA keyboard layout that I use, and so it is when the key to press is printed in AdvDisp. But when I press that key, the input appears to be passed through another table or based on hardware codes.Hmm, just had thought. If I enter the character placed unshifted on that key on a US keyboard, maybe it'll work. I believe there's an Accent Grave (`) to the left of the One (1) key, right?
January 12, 200323 yr Henrik,>Hmm, just had thought. If I enter the character placed unshifted on that key on a US keyboard, maybe it'll work. I believe there's an Accent Grave (`) to the left of the One (1) key, right?Correct, and definitely don't use the shifted key in the input field. Use the "Shift" checkbox. Rc does, as you point out, read the direct key codes.Keep us posted.
January 13, 200323 yr Okay, I've now tested my theory, but much to my surprise, it failed.Here's what I did:I opened RC3's key configuration window and entered an Accent Grave (`) for Acknowledge. I made sure the shift and ctrl check boxes were blank. The number next to the line was 192. I should mention that I went as far as changing my keyboard layout in the Control Panel to US English so I could hit the button I wanted, i.e. the one next to the One (1) key, rather than relying on me knowing which key to press on a Danish keyboard. (It didn't seem to make any difference, I got 192 with either method.)Then I exited RC and started FS2002. When I was in the cockpit, I started RC3 again and loaded a plan, etc. I made sure to untick Pilot Autoreply. Everything seemed normal, and when I came to the first incident where acknowledgment was required, I saw the (`) character next to the Acknowledge line as I expected. But to my disappointment, nothing happened when I pressed the key.I have checked that nothing is assigned to that key in FS2002.
January 13, 200323 yr Henrik,The best I can think of is that since the grave is what opens the ATC window, that it may be not getting to FSUIPC. Check your FS key assignments and see if there's something else confligting if it's not set to open the ATC window.
January 14, 200323 yr Update:A quick test reveals that this is indeed a general problem. Two other keys (
