I'm brand new to the LOMAC community although I've had extensive exposure to fighter flight sims such as ATF GOLD in the past. Wanting to get back into it, I've installed LockOn: Modern Air Combat and the Flaming Cliffs upgrade (both by CD) on my Dell, WINDOWS 7 laptop. The sim runs fine without crashing but I'm having trouble with key assignments in the sim. I do have a full keyboard but some keys are missing when compared to a desktop (RWIN, ScrollLock, Pause/break).
When operating the 1st training mission in the A10, I found that I couldn't access the communications menu, nor could I change waypoints using the appropriate key. I accessed the options menu, selected INPUT, and read through all of the assigned key functions of the different areas (views, combat, flight, and other. I was careful to note whether I had selected "axis" or "buttons". I was able to get my joystick working and was able to assign the extra buttons to some of the view functions.
When I've tried to reassign the keys, I've had problems. Every time I've tried to change the "communication" menu to a different key, then select OK, it seems to accept it. But when I try to look at the function on that option menu again, the previous value is always there. None of the key changes I've tried appear to be saved.
I've spent a lot of time looking at all of the possible functions assigned to keys in the game. I even have made an excel spreadsheet that lists them all. I have discovered several functions that are assigned to the same key. That sounds like a problem but what do I know.
Can anyone help me get my keys reassigned? I believe I do have the latest patch installed for FC – ver. 1.12b
