Hey Guys,
Just installed FB on my new machine and the game doesn't see some of the keystroke commands from the key board. Comands like "shift0" for auto prop control, or any other comand using the "shift" key. I'm using an older MS Natural elite key board and  windows XP home, do you think I should get a newer keyboard??

Hey Bomblast,  I'm most definitely not the most qualified person to be answering this question, but I doubt the keyboard's age has anything to do with it (other than general entropy).   You're not confusing ZERO with a capital "Oh" [Oscar] are ya? :) Just kidding...  When you type text with the keyboard and hit <0> [zero], do you get ")"?  If so, then your keyboard obviously is working correctly.  Try re-mapping the keystroke in the "control" section of FB, just to make sure.  If that doesn't work, perhaps your installation is somehow corrupt?  Of course, if you don't get ")" when holding <0>; then something is wrong with your keyboard for sure... I'm assuming you're using this keyboard in question, to type the message you did, so obviously the key seems to work.  If nothing else, just borrow another keyboard and see if that makes a difference.TX-ScubaSteveWhite 4

Also something to consider...  Did you do any custom mappings in IL2? You may have to copy the file that holds all the key mappings from your old machine to the new one.  I forget what the filename is and I'm at work Hope this helps in some way.  I will look for the file when I get home tonight...Regards,TX-Rahman"BLACK 4"
