Post by: Rich46yo on July 22, 2007, 07:20:03 AM

When Im doing one of my bombing missions, and try to change bombers Im in by Alt-2 or 3, nothing happens. I cant get out of my lead bomber. Am I missing somthing here? Thank you...Bomber Rich

Changing position in bomber formation is for GUNNERS only, not pilot.

Ok, just to avoid any confusion:

1,2,3,... on keyboard  (not numberpad!) will switch between individual gunner positions within a plane

ctrl & 1,2,3,... will switch between planes in a formation (works from gunner positions only)

shift & 1,2,3,... will select individual engines on a plane- (Shift-E to select all engines again)

OK, thank you. I was able to switch now. Im having a problem with keyboard stick, and, my wireless keyboard in general. While I have you here Lusche I cant find any keyboard command to drop external fuel tanks. Do you know what it is? Thanks..............Rich

Droptanks are just like any other external loadout (bombs, rockets, RATO):
BACKSPACE to toggle between secondary weapons, B to fire/drop them (or whatever buttons you have mapped "Secondary Weapon Select" and "Secondary Weapon Fire" to).

That is your problem right there  I used to have a logicrap one and it used to type all sorts of random letters when i tried talking on in game chat ages ago.

For having a keyboard warrior mentality of its own, it took its first flying lesson out of my window.  

I now have a 4 pound benq ps2 keyboard that has  10 million guaranteed key presses and not one has failed yet.  Cheap and cheerful

Shift E is start all engines. If you've shut one down you want Ctrl E to reselct all without starting or stoping them.
