It worked, thanks a lot for both of your help. Regards, James

Activate? Do you mean the serial number? If so, why would it even let me start a mission since I haven't activated it? I'll try it though.

This may sound like a dumb question, but I'm having a hard time getting started in any type of mission. I downloaded the beta and whenever I start any type of mission such as a quick play etc. it always starts me out on the map view. I want to get into the cockpit view but I'm not sure how to do it. Can you help me? I've played the A-10 game regularly, and usually when I want to get out of the map I just press the M key. Thanks for taking the time to help me, James
