[hello]

I have a question regarding this mod.
If I have it activated, I cannot zoom in or zoom out on the normal in-game map.
Do I have to set up a special key for this?
Should this work with the mouse wheel? (It doesn't, but that could be a key-assignment conflict)
Anybody inthe know?
S!

When I go to the menu and choose "Control Enemy Plane" and jump into the cockpit I have no control over the plane. When I jump back into the plane I left I can't control it either. What simple thing have I missed?

I'd guess you need to hit your autopilot key? Worth a try anyway.

Yes, Spinetti's explanation perhaps is assuming that you know something but I think that you are not aware of it.

Whenever you switch, this steps take place:

1-Switch your plane to AI (Artificial Intelligence ~ Autopilot) because if not it would crash on ground, and mainly you want that plane continues on game
2-Abandoning your former-plane
3-Juimping into the new destination plane.

  But who was controlling the destination plane before? The AI. So you have to stop AI (typically A key) and you take effective control.

  I don't do that at once, because you always need some seconds to understand where hell are you when you get into the destination plane. So first you take a look around, you see the cockpit of the plane, and then: control it when you are ready for that.

Thank you! That was what it was. I now have full control.

And I like your logic about why you don't have immediate control over the plane you're jumping into.

Sorry to be such a newb, but after a quick scan of a couple hundred posts, I don't see how to activate the menu. "Tab" just pulls up the stock commands, and there is no read me in the archive. I followed many of the threads, but don't see this issue. I'm on the latest 4.12 with the latest HSFX7. Any tips?

Oh, also, the mod is working because the follow functions are clearly in play, just can't figure out how to trigger the menu.... (could it be because of my monitor res? 2550x1440 I think.)

PS, anybody have a stock config.ini for the latest 4.12? I sorta overwrote mine with my old custom .ini, and not sure what I might have missed in 4.12 (game plays fine tho)....

It is explained before,

                 you have to find in your Controls screen, in MISC section, the option which says "Game Menu" and assign a HotKey to it. I suggest the "Home" in the Keyboard.

Bravo,
                   as far as I know it is a User (not Global) setting. The Game Menu is listed in your user profile.

Ah, I see. I didn't understand that part.. thought it was a setting in config.ini.. All working great now, thanks!

BTW, being able to jump from plane to plane is a HUGE gift I wanted since this game came out - Thanks!

I'm sure you may yell at me, but I didn't see an option to kill the HUD entirely? (already have "speedbarunits=0")... in the older versions that killed all the hud, but the latest versions still leaves the compass....

Awesome mod, thanks!

[Spinnetti]

Bravo, I got it.. thanks for the help!

Roger that!
