Dch60 Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 My install went fine and I began training missions. I tinkered with the control tab in Options to try to map some commands to my Cougar joystick, but I can't think of anything else I've done. Now when I load a training mission it loads, but nothing happens when I press pause/break key. The sim is frozen. Any ideas?

If it isn't, try pressing pause again.
Dch60 Posted October 9, 2010 Author Posted October 9, 2010 Jesse- It's still there when I presss the key. Nothing happens. When it was working I did notice that sometimes you had to presss it a couple of times to begin the mission.
Jesse Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 Well that's the only thing I've experienced as far as pause bugs go. Here is what I would do: -Check pause binding in options -Check to make sure another application such as trackir is not capturing the pause key press and not repeating it You could also try binding something else to pause in options to make sure that it's not just your key presses failing to reach the sim.
Dch60 Posted October 9, 2010 Author Posted October 9, 2010 I checked the Pause key Options/Controls and nothing is assigned. ( I think that's what you suggested). I don't have track IR running, or anything else that I can think of. I thought there might be a conflict with Cougar so I unplugged it. I also ran a System Restore to yesterday. Still frozen.
Jesse Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 Sorry if I wasn't clear. I just started up the game to confirm this: When the game has just started and it says 'press pause/break to start', you should be able to use your TrackIR to skew the view around the cockpit even while its paused. You should also be able to hit escape and close the game through the 'mission pause / interrupt' menu. So I would start up trackIR, bind the pause function ingame to Z or X, start the game and try to do all of these. If you cannot do any of these things, then it seems your game is actually frozen and I've no idea where to go from there except reinstall. I think the devs and people in the beta forum might be able to help you better.
