ClipBoard bug!!!!!
« on: December 12, 2004, 12:24:19 AM »
Lost my clipboard today :(

I was in MA in the Hanger and clicked on minus icon to make clipboard smaller....pressed it till it went
No more clipboard.
Tried relogging...rebooting...nothi ng worked.
The clipboard is only missing when Im in the Hanger.
So now I will prolly be a Good P51B pilot cuz I cant switch planes nor tower...

Is there a clp.cnfig file I can reset?

This happened to me after I installed patch 5. I had to totally remove AH2 and re-install it from scratch to get the clipboard back. I tried everything under the sun. After re-installing I did some experimentation. It seems related to something in the settings folder. When I put my old settings folder in the new install it happened again, when I replaced the settings folder with the new one without changing anything else the clipboard worked fine.

happens to me too

my brute force solution is to run aces high, move the clipboard to the middle of the screen, then click online/offline/h2h or whatever. when you get into the arena your clipboard will popup in the middle of the screen

it would really cover your forward view but at least you have a clipboard. it seems that if you move the clipboard left beyond the distance between the edge of the left screen and its position when you have hangar or e6b supplementary board open beside it,  whole clipboard disappears grrrrrr

ill try zazens solution later

"when I replaced the settings folder with the new one without changing anything else the clipboard worked fine. " <==say again?

so youve newly installed AH2 then replaced it with the "new settings" folder?

I think there is a dot command to get to hangar?

I made a planes list, we have 78 planes.

You can select fuel with .fuel x , where x is between 0 and 3 ... 0 being 25percent.

I am sure there is a dot command to select the loadout? dont know which though.

What plane do you want? i wont list all.

18 SpitVb
19 P38
22 Typhoon
23 Panzer

Thanks for all you help fellas.

It does have something to do with your view.
I was able to get clipboard back by zooming ,then grabbing clipboard and moving it to the center of my screen.

Simply minimising the clipboard (putting it down - ESC key) would have been a better way of getting it out of your view.  :)

Missing Clipboard
« Reply #11 on: December 12, 2004, 11:38:03 PM »
What I've discovered is that if I resize it smaller than a certain size it will disappear when placed in the upper right corner of the screen.  Not sure if the other corners are affected similarly.  But it's still there, just invisible.  You can right click the area where it should be and the menu comes up.  You can also click and drag where the clip should be and move the clipboard.  Thus when it disappears, I move it to the center of the screen where it reappears, and then resize it a litte bit bigger before dragging it back to the corner.

OK,  it's fixed. Find where you have the game installed and open the folder "HTC" then open "aces high II" then open "settings" and delete the files "clip" and "oclip"  and the clipboard will be back to normal. If the file "oclip" is not there don't worry about it.  This fixed it for me. Thanks to snocone for telling me about it..

I deleted the files and still I get the invisible clipboard if resized smaller than some certain size.  Anyone else still having troubles with it?
