Can't switch to deck gun camera

fat jez · 12-18-07, 06:08 PM

hi Guys,

Bit of a weird problem this, but I can seem to switch to the deck gun camera using F10 (which is what the config file says it should be). I've done it in the past, but not since I've reinstalled SH3 after installing Vista. I'm also using the GWX 2.0 mod, if that makes a difference. Any ideas? Am I using the right key (QWERTY keyboard)? I should add that I have ordered the crew to man the gun and that the sea was flat calm. Interesting, none of the F9, F10 and F11 keys seem to work, only F12...

It's bugging me that my crew can't hit a barn door at 10m, so I'm itching to take over!

Cheers,
Stephen

dunno mate

maybe vista has a problem with your keyboard?
do keyboards have region variations?
seems strange that some keys work and others dont
hopefully someone here has the answer
happy hunting

Are you using the resolution fix? All of the keys you mention get disabled.

PITA, I know but use the station bar on the left.

Yes, I am using the res fix. Thanks mate, I was going nuts. I might remap the deck gun key to "d" then, since I never hit d for dive (either select depth on the gauge or crash dive).

Cheers,
Stephen

Not yet, I'm away from my home for Christmas, so I haven't had a chance to try. It's just one of the config files though, so it should just be a case of swapping the functions around that are assigned to the F10 and D keys.

Cheers,
Stephen
