Yes Monty my DIRs are the same as in your pic........ Bandy where is this knowledge base and what did you find?

I am having the same problem.....

I cannot seem to get these views to work anymore.....I was able to once but now they do nothing and they are still enabled in the controls. GOTO_VIEW_TARGET=F8 GOTO_VIEW_PLAYER_TO_TARGET=SHIFT+F8 GOTO_VIEW_TARGET_TO_PLAYER=CTRL+F8 Does anyone know what could be wrong?

Found the problem......F8 was being used as a hotkey to enable trackIR precision mode and apparently would override game settings........disabling precision mode or changing it to another hotkey other than F8 did the trick.
