SFK1942 questions?

[liadou2001]

hi, thanks for you guys' help in my previous posts. Here are some new questions

1. what is the short-cut key to enter the map? (what im doing now is: press "ESC" to the menu and then select "map", is there any way faster? i tried F8 key, seems not work...)

2. If im not in Commander's position, will the commander find the enemy automatically?

3. In driver's positon, what is the key "B" and "N" for? is it supposed to keep the fixed gas? if it is fixed gas, why it didnt' swich gear automatically?
Do i have to hold the gas all the time when driving (the "up" key in default) (In TvT i dont have to hold it all the time...)

thanks

1)To enter the map press F8.If it does not work then go into options in your game menu and check under general to see if the default key is set at F8.If no default key has been entered then you can do that by clicking chnage at the lower left .If your map key is another value you can either keep it as it is or change it to F8( recommended)

2) if you are in the gunner position(F2) you'll hear the commander announcing the targets. As loader or driver I am not sure may be not.

3) I don't drive much my tank in manual.My instinct would be to say N is for neutral to keep your tank in neutral gear.As for B it is for the brake (it's Q if you are driving in automatic mode).

In d case of doubt check your options in the game menu and going through them you'll get to the various control keys for gunner, commander, driver, general etc.

hi,

ive just purchased SF from gamersgate but im not sure if i need to install any patches. when i load the game it doesnt say anywhere what version it is.

ive got a resolution problem as well. when i start the tutorial, i cant see the text at the top of the screen. im usin a widescreen monitoe with a 1920x1080 resolution. anyone else had this problem?

so is the there any must have mods or patches i need to download?

You probably need to install the unofficial English language patch to correct the lack of grading in the Panzer IVF2 gun sight that's all.The game is very stable and there a lots of mods to install with dozens of new tank and gun models added to the basic models that come with the game.Check it out on tanksim.org.ru it's a Russian website but with an English/language option|This where most of us SF fans get our patches and mods.There are mods for skins, battlefield sounds, even one adding dust to your tanks armour, there are Steel Panzer 1.0, 1.2, 1.3 mods and the latest version 1.4.A new updated one probably 1.5 is coming in 3 weeks.Each SP mods adds new tanks/armoured vehicles or even trucks, guns and new misisons.The latest mod is the Tiger 1.0 mod with the Tiger II(King TIger) and the JS2.

Enjoy the game it's great!

Cheers

any ideas what goin on with the resolution problem im havin, anyone else playin with widescreen monitors?

[frinik]

Oh I was forgetting, there's a patch on the tanksim.org.ru website to fix the widescreen bug.I never had that problem myself so I did not think about it. Check it out I remember seeing it.

Cheers
