Title: Can't move head position
Post by: Dragon on October 26, 2008, 05:04:43 PM
Something new happened today, I can't adjust my head position in any vehicle or plane.  Trying page up and down as well as arrow keys, it starts to move, but just twitches back and forth.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

sounds like the switch in your stick is shot.

have you tried using it in another game to see if its opporating correctly?

when a logitech stick i had went to crap it was doing a similar thing. would switch to a view then right back to front despite the fact that i was holding the button.

hat switches take some of the worst abuse while your playing, it probably the most used function in the stick.

good luck

Hat switches work fine, but I can't pull my head back in a cockpit or raise it up in a GV or field gun.  Both hats work fine for looking around.  It's like I'm stuck in the home position.  Even when in the tower, I'm stuck outside, if I press F1, in momentarily shows me the inside of the tower, then boom, back outside, in front of the tower.  It's like I'm stuck in forward mode in planes, face against sight, and in tower.  Did a restart on comp, no change, reinstalled game, no change, tried remapping keyboard, all OK, but still not right.

well then i am totally clueless :O

did anything happen that may have corrupted your install of the game? have you downloaded anything new recently? changed any of your Aces High files?

logic has it that if it is not a hardware issue and it was working at one time and now it doesnt then the change was something done software wise in between.

hopefully Skuzzy or The Fugitive will see your post, if anyone knows it would be one of them.

good luck

OK, so now I feel stupid.  Here the slider on my X52 throttle was pushed forward, still have to try in a plane, but should be OK.  I noticed it while calibrating stick.
