YAP Control Calamity

[+Piecemeal 450]

I've been in touch for the past day with the YAP site trying to sort this 'little' problem out. Basically the control settings say that the key set-up is as it should be (default), but when I start a mission the key assignments are quite literally all over the place! For example, when I press the G key (gears up/down) I'm going through my A2G weapon selection

Has anybody ever had this problem after installing YAP? ............

 

1. I re-installed WOV and installed the two patches provided on the YAP disc. 2. I then installed YAP from the disc provided. Following completion of the install I re-started my PC 3. I then opened WOV and clicked Single Mission to test it out. I selected the aircraft type, year, etc. andproceeded to preflight. As soon as I clicked the preflight tab the game crashed. 4. I tried a re-install but got the same results 5. I then re-installed but by also installing the above Oct '08b patch. I'm now able to play single missions and campaigns but with the fore mentioned control calamity!

 

Would this have anything to do with the fact that I'm trying to run it on Vista?

Am I supposed to play the game with the provided disc?

 

Please, somebody ....... HELP!!

What are the keys mapped to in the games options menu?

 

it might still use "default.ini" in the controls folder by default.

 

With YAP dont use the dynamic single mission mode - too much has been changed.

We had this problem when the 08 patches came out -- in fact, it was one even I experienced...

 

if, in you /objects folder, there's a 'aircraftobject.ini', either rename it or delete it. This will fix the problem of 'wandering key assignments'. The pre-08 versions are NOT compatible with post-08 versions.

 

it's in one of the threads about the patch, IIRC

YAP is NOT compatible with ANY of the 08 patches.

 

If you install them you will break your YAP install.

 

However, this also means you will have additional issues when trying to run the TW series in Vista. Please check our Knowledge Base for ways to run pre 2008 versions of ThirdWire sims with Vista.

 

In addition, like Migbuster said, YAP is not designed for Campaign or computer generated Single Mission modes. YAP is designed for YAP missions only...anything else is at your own risk.

Well, I've re-installed it again; to the letter (albeit minus the Oct 08 patch). I've also checked everything FastCargo said in the KB, but It's still crashing at start-up.

I've informed YAP via e-mail so I suppose what else can I do
