F-keys and view locking up

[Bullgrit]

I've just been looking at AH offline, and I'm finding my F-keys not responding and my view locking up.

Everything seems to work fine at first, but then, after trying to adjust my head position, things get wacky. When adjusting position, my head slides off to the side and back all the way even after letting go of the keys. Then my views are messed up -- either looking the wrong way and snapping back to side view instead of forward, or getting stuck in forward only (can't looking around at all).

At this time, the F-keys stop doing anything. If I exit the plane and then go back, everything is good again; til I adjust my head again.

Also, I can't change fields offline? Are the drone toughness the same as online toughness? Where are some interesting landmarks on the map that I can fly over?

And how do I make my vehicle move? Changing gears doesn't do it. Once started, do I use my joystick to steer? Also, how to fire the main vehicle weapon? I can only get the machine gun to fire.

Hi Bullgrit,
 I have also had your problems about your head position going "wacky" when trying to set it. (Hitting "esc" to "Restore/Minimize" the clipboard seems to cure this & puts me back in the forward view & re enables the keys).

Are you trying to set your head position using your joystick POV hat or by using the keypad? I have never had any problems if I use the keypad but have when view setting using the POV Hat. Try it it might help.

To move between fields I always use the dot commands ".move 10" to put you in the tower at field 10 for instance or ".move 10 3" to put you on the plane selection screen at field 10.

The throttle does not work on vehicles  
You have to push the stick forward to accelerate & pull it back to brake/stop. (After engaging gear - q=Up w=Down). To fire main weapon move to position 2 (2 on main keyboard - NOT keypad). Bombers have several gun positions (3,4,5 etc) position 1 is cockpit/driver.

Steer while in gun position by Rudder (Twist stick or Rudder pedals).

Landmarks.... Well there is a big beer bottle & Pizza.

Hope this helps

I have had the same problem many times.  I fix it by pressing all the view keys on keypad one time and the head position movement keys one time.
