SkipperSMG Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Short story, while flying online chasing some MiGs behind enemy lines, i found myself in a disadvantageous situation caused by my "F7" key, which decided to quit it's service. Personally i can't exist without AWACS so i use this key very often ( which will certainly be the reason for it to break ) so i tried various ways to map the function to an other key on my keyboard... without success. I tried to use an other key, simulate the F7 key trough a makro key and so on... Nothing! DCS doens't identify the makro key and the other attempts were useless as well. Maybe there is a kind fellow out there, willing to help someone in need and describe a way to solve the problem:helpsmilie: The answer may be obvious but i can't find it.

Boltz Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 I've been away from DCS for a few months and not had TIR plugged in but the service was still running in the background. I thought my keyboard was broken and ended up buying a new one only to find the same problem. This thread has given me the answer to what was wrong. Thank you!

PiedDroit Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 lol. you do know you can reassign those key right? first thing I did was put the trk ir keyon lshft-ins; home; and page up Dude are you the smartest guy in town? Obviously any TrackIR user will bind at least re-center. BUT - The trick is that some function you don't use - and don't reassign because you don't use them - are bound to F7, etc, by default. And the second tricky thing is that your F7 key will *sometime* work, because if you bash it fast/brutally enough (yep, did that), the tracKIR software won't trap all F7 key presses, making you think your keyboard is working erratically.
