Certain head positions unsaveable

[LuckyStrikes]

Not sure if this should be in the bug forums or the tech support. I saw no threads of anyone stating this problem so I assume it is rare and thus something on my end only.

The look Up+Left+Forward (Kp:5+7) and the look Up+Back+Right (Kp:5+3) will not save in any planes. The "Head position saved" text will not display with these views, though all other positions save fine. I installed the trainer head position files, but the aforementioned views are still default. I uninstalled/reinstalled but still no dice, I suppose vista could be hiding game settings files else where. You can imagine this is a real annoyance with planes such as the F4U.

It is only 2 views in every plane, but is this a read-only issue perhaps?

Thanks in advance

I just tried it an it works fine.

Just to be clear.  On the keypad pressing 5+7, then adjust with the arrow keys, then pressing F10 does not give you a message?

The head positions are saved in one file per plane.

An easier way to do it is to map the "Look Front Up Left" command to a position on the stick, than adjust that view with the arrow keys and save it.

I fixed my problem by using the hat switch to look in the direction I wanted, then hold down K:5 to look up.  While holding those down, I'd make my adjustments, then I could save them with F10.
I'm also using Vista.

Very true.

That is correct, Skuzzy. 5+7 (and 5+3), adjusting position, then F10, do not show a message and do not save. Using the alternate joystick methods work just fine. Judging by the lack of threads on this specific topic, I assume this is a small bug affecting a very small minority. Its up to the HTC team to figure out why my computer is such an oddball.

I hate to be redundant, but in order to clarify: 5+7/5+3 head positions will not save in any plane or ground vehicle. All other head positions work properly.

If HTC needs any information to recreate the problem, I would be happy give any information needed.

I suppose I forgot the most important part!

Thank you Skuzzy and 100Coogn for your help.

[Skuzzy]

Have you tried the alternate methods suggested?

[LuckyStrikes]

Yes, I did. Works great.

Thank you Skuzzy and 100Coogn for your help.

  Glad it's working now.

perhaps it is your keyboard that doesn't allow those keys to depressed at one time.

That sounds very plausible considering how localized the problem is. It is a Logitech G15 keyboard. Is their any way to test it?

It's not the keyboard, unless yours is starting to die.  I've got the same keyboard and do not have a problem setting those head positions that are giving you troubles.

So the keyboard theory is in doubt. Does anyone know of a program that will show the key inputs? The windows onscreen keyboard doesnt have that functionality and when searching my keywords show links to keyloggers.

On a side note, Ack-Ack replied in my first thread on these boards and didnt eat me alive.
