F12 key used for wireless

[mrboop]

Could anyone help me with assigning the tower to another key. My F12 key is dedicated to the wireless on off. its a bummer:mad:

As we don't know anything more that you have a F12 key on your system and nothing about the DCS version you are using , there is only one advise I can give you:

 

go to

 

start > Control Panel > (All Control Panel Items > ) Keyboard

 

And search for the function to change the macros for your F-keys and try to un-map this key from the "wireless" function.

I actually have the lock on program, I did call HP and they said i could not remap the function keys. I was wondering if there was any way I can use the logitech extreme joystick somehow to use the f12 key. can find a way to do that. Also when i start lock on i do see the option for the joystick. i cant find a way to use it either for the f12.

*:megalol: really funny people at HP ! I hope these folks are not forced to use their own products during daily office work...:P*

 

Use autohotkey to remap a unused key to f12 while running LockOn.

Remap a key: http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/misc/Remap.htm

 

example .AHK script for the "e" key acting as "F12":

 

#NoEnv
#Warn
SendMode Input
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%

e::F12

edit the "e" to your needs.

Check the keyboard-layout of LockOn to find a unused key command.

My HP Laptop (DV6 I think) has an option in the BIOS to toggle the function keys so that they output F1, F2 etc. rather than the Wireless on/off, screen brightness etc.

 

Otherwise you might be able to get F12 by pressing the 'Fn' key down near the Control and Alt keys, along with the F12/Wireless button.
