TSgtT Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Hi, I installed Wings over Africa per the instructions and ran into a problem that I need help with. It seems everything works fine except for some reason my keys are not recongized by the program. The F keys work just fine but my other keys are not recognized. For example I am unable to release the brake even though I have the B key selected for the brakes. The keyboard works fine when I start WOE and other sims, but not in WOA. Any help would be appreciated, and also thank you in advance for such a wonderful mod. T. Quote
firehawkordy Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Try this, make a backup copy of your key commands, you will find it in this location by default.... C:Program FilesWings Over *Controls Now down load this file which will reset everything to default.... http://combatace.com/files/file/7317-sfp1wovwoewoi-default-keys/ Read the instructions on the install and re-assign your commands. I had a similar problem a while ago and this is how I solved it. The file will work for Strike Fighters also. Quote

I've tried the fix of swapping-in a valid controls\default.ini file, but that doesn't work. This is a shame because WOA is a really great and very atmospheric conversion of SFP. Any other ideas anyone please? Mike Quote
firehawkordy Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 The only suggestion is that you try the support forum where this mod is located. I have found them very helpful to the end user, just make sure you detail everything you can about your problem. You can find the forum in this topic.... http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB3w/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=8362 Having just checked the Tech Support board I did find a thread concerning WOA issues. You should find your solution there. FYI, you will need to register on the forum to access the boards. I hope this helps both of you out. Quote
+Wrench Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) did it come with an 'AircraftObject.ini"???? If so, rename it. I'll bet the control/keystroke assignements come back (it's an old fix from when the 08 patch first came out) Edited June 25, 2011 by Wrench Quote

Is there anything one should rename this file to, or is it redundant? Mike Quote
+Wrench Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 when the problem first started after the 08 patch, I just renamed my to xAircraftObject.ini. Im lazy! Quote
TSgtT Posted June 26, 2011 Author Posted June 26, 2011 Thanks for all of the replies. I ended up reinstalling then applying the 08 patch and then WOA. Everything works fine now. I didn't think I had to add the patch the first time since I purchased the download version of the game from Third Wire. Oh well everything works now. Looking forward to some other WWII installs. Thanks, T. Quote
