Title: end flight command
Post by: caldera 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?

One more little thing -

The 109s are out of chronological order on the hangar list.

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.

Post by: caldera on May 17, 2010, 06:47:38 PM: 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. ;)

Post by: Karnak on May 17, 2010, 06:49:29 PM: I changed my bail out command to Ctrl-Enter three times about 9.5 years ago for that very reason.

Yeah. I changed mine to shift enter shift or something like that. It works well.

What I use as well.

I type so durn fast that I would accidentally bail 1-2 times a tour.

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
