Keypad 8 for Bombing
« on: April 08, 2008, 11:03:05 AM »
I fly with a laptop, so I have no "keypad 8" option to look up from the bombsight when lining up.  Is there another solution to this?    Without having a Keypad 8 key available, is there some way to still assign that view to something else on my stick?

It's called the "Look Forward" view under Options>Controls>Map Controllers. There is a writeup about it on the trainers site in my signature.

Line up in external mode BEFORE going to the bombsight.

Some guys prefer to use the nose gun. I prefer the F3 external view.

Get a addditional keyboard or keypad. Easiest fix, and better for your laptop (saves the "built-in" keyboard). :aok

External numberpad is the way to go, very inexpensive, and plugs right into a USB port. I used one with my laptop until I switched to my current desktop config. (Also is usefull for those other games like Civ4)
