Now... what?

I realized that my ages-old install of FB, patches, fixes, AEP, patches, PF and patch was a bit too much of a mishmash, so I reinstalled it all from FB and onwards. After more than a bit of trouble with the wonderful :rolleyes: 1C install programs, I had it all where it should be.

Only… when I started it for the first time, after setting it to full screen in il2setup, it was in windowed mode. Set it to full screen in the hardware options, no problems… until I went into a track. I have the cursor on the screen and it cannot go outside the edges of the screen… which limits how much I can pan the view.

If that isn’t bad enough, the escape key is not working! Most keys do their job, but not that one. It seems as though Il-2 only has partial focus… which is peculiar.

Any ideas on what is going on and what to do about it? I’m hoping to fly tonight, so I have to get this sorted…

Edit: I also have the Windows cursor in the game, as opposed to the yellow Il-2 one.

Regards,
Fred

Problem solved. You would think they had their own .ini files figured out, right?

Think again. Clean install from the start and it omits a lot of things from the conf.ini. Like getting the proper mouse function, enabling the escape key, enabling the zoom function in 3D…

I do not envy those who get their first taste of Il-2 through FB+PF! Poor sods, they’ll never get airborne…

Cheers,
Fred
