end flight command
« on: May 17, 2010, 06:08:53 PM »
Was trying to type .EF on a v-base last night that was overrun (had 4 quick kills in a Ju-87  :D) and was dodging fire while trying to find a safe piece of concrete.  I accidentally hit enter a few times (to clear the flubbed .ef i hastily typed from the radio bar) and bailed out just as i came to a stop.  :cry

HTC, could you please add a programmable joystick command for END FLIGHT if it's not too much trouble?

Try changing the bail out command to another key that you don't normally use...works for me.  :D

I think single stroke .ef would get people just as p.o.'d as the eject command...especially if they hit it at the wrong time.

The bail command gives a free kill to the wirble who hit my oil with a single ping.  Same as my acciddental enter x3.

 I wanted to be able to land my kills before being engulfed in a horde of M4s.  I know they were rooting for me.  ;)

I changed my bail out command to Ctrl-Enter three times about 9.5 years ago for that very reason.

Simple! Buy a Hotas Cougar, program a button to type "/ . e f", followed by it hitting the enter button! Instant .ef at a single button press. :D

Not a bad idea at all. Those extra fews seconds of you trying to type out that . command could mean the difference of you not eating a bomb to the forhead or taking a round straight down the kisser  :x
