Hello Chaps, Actually, I thought what would be nice would be a longer run of the engine starting up. That 1/2 second is too tantalising and abbreviated. The engine run up sound on Red Baron was a good length, but suffered from significant digital distortion. It was, I beleive a real Spad engine, so the distortion was a pity. Do you have any other engine sounds we could plug in there? I thought I was the only person in the world who thought it was Ringo! I was always expecting him to then tell a story about Thomas the Tank Engine. Sorry, Polovski! Regards, George

Thanks for the info, Chaps. I shall try changing the mapping in the cfs utility, and see if the problem might relate to my joystick rather than the particular character used for the toggle function. I guess my question relates almost more to Autohotkeys. I am "up in the air" (chuckle) about which bits of X-45 work with Vista ... which I might post about on another thread, so lots of things are running around in my head at present. I LOVE padlock. It is the way one's head moves when flying and chasing an enemy, but I always have a toggle switch mapped onto one of the main buttons of my joystick so I can check my position with respect to earth as well as the enemy. I have a track IR 4 Pro, but I get literally airsick after 10 minutes of use ... hot, sweaty, tired, pale and nearly throw up. I think need to get used to it, but my main computer is dying at present and my laptop I think will not cope with OFF plus Track IR. I think the planes and the weather patterns look gorgeous in OFF and I could watch them for hours, which is my plan. Salute, George (but Charles is a very gentlemanly name too!)

Good Afternoon Chaps. I like padlocking , and I would like to map padlock toggle to keys other than the default Button 8. I have just started using AutoHotkeys and have tried the following: Joy5::send {`} AND Joy5::send {asc 96} (the ascii code for grave/accent) AND Joy5::send {asc 0096}, each of which produces nice grave/accents in Notepad and Word, but which have no effect in OFF/BHaH. (The joystick button 8 does have the desired effect, but on my Saitek X-45 it sits in a horrible position. Also the keyboard button has the correct effect too.) I have assigned the above code to nearly every button on the joystick also with no effect, so it is not just a bad button on the stick. Is there something about the way the game accepts these commands which means I should try something different? (I have similar problems with F1 in Red Baron.) Maybe if one of the gurus could help me please. Regards, George. BTW: I just LOVE this game. Except for Red Baron's Massive Multiplayer, which I can host from my own home PC, it does everything else I like from Red Baron and probably much more, but I am still learning.
