stuck in F3
« on: July 20, 2012, 09:31:34 AM »
This morning while in climb out in B29s I switched to F3 mode, I was unable to leave F3 mode.  I tried F1,F4,F6,1,2,3,4,5,and 6 no help.  None of the keys seem to work /would not bring up radio bar alt F4 would not work.  On landing I could not and sortie using clipboard.  I went to training area and everything seemed to work fine any suggestions?

What about after you closed and restarted Ace High? I assume the dot command 'ef' did work?

It sounds as if your comp took keyboard focus off the game and put it in another program somewhere.  Don't know what program.  I know Apple puts out an extremely annoying updater that pops up and steals focus.

I use a Mac, running AH on Windows dual boot.  Sometimes the MAC settings for the F keys (F1 decreases brightness, F2 increases it) seem to over-ride the Windows ones.  I find on these occasions I need to do 'fn-F1' to get inside view again - then hit F2 a few times to get the brightness back up!  :)  Bit annoying but I tend to accept it as just one of those things.  Don't know if this is a similar problem.

I have a keyboard that had multiple crap (which I don't use) tied to the function keys. To use them as "Function Keys", I have to make sure the "F-Lock" key is active. If I bump that key or if a hard PC crash or power outage resets the keyboard, I sometimes forget to engage the "F-Lock" key and it takes me a while to figure out why I can't do certain things in the game.
