Keystrokes remapped w/ certain a/c d/l & missions

[hotrodss 0]

I recently installed Vietnam 1984 add-on campaign to a Oct2008 patched version of WoV.

 

1. WoV (clean)

2. Oct2008 patch

3. Weapons Pack 1/25/09

4. Weapon Editor 2/2008

5. Vietnam 1984

 

Everything was installed in the above order, I double and triple read the readme file, all folders were in their correct locations. I started the game and this is when the keystrokes started acting funky...for example the A key (autopilot) cycled through the nav lights, the Z key (ECM on/off) jettisoned the external tanks and the B key (brakes) set the bomb release intermitten times. Now before anyone says go to the 'Options' screen, I did that and rechecked for the corrosponding keys to the functions I wanted and the same thing occured. I've install/uninstalled/reinstalled everything twice and can't get keys to work right.

 

Anyone else have this happen? How did you fix it?

 

Samething happened with the F/A-18E add-on 2 weeks ago, I just reinstalled the a/c and the keys work fine. Can't explain that one.

 

Any advice on this???

Vietnam 1984 is a VERY old campaign...there is probably something in it (maybe the AIRCRAFTOBJECT.INI file) that is causing the problem.

 

I would recommend doing the first four steps, then install the campaign in another folder and copy the files to your install individually.

rename or delete the AircrafObjects.ini. Known issue (there's a post in KB about it somewhere taht I forget)

If I do that, will the game still work??

Sure...it'll just revert to the stock AircraftObject.ini file located in one of the CAT files.
