Guest ThomasDWeiss Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Keyboard and Koystick commands stop responding - usually in the middle of a mission. Also, fighter labels vanish. And it not something that happened once - but many many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGTharos Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Do you have another program running in the backgroudn that hooks into direct-x, like TS or TSO? ... and the key you use for push-to-talk maybe happens to also be used in LOMAC?...

Guest ThomasDWeiss Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Nothing running in the background. It happens usually when you re-load a mission, mid- mission. The keyboard becomes unresponsive (have to hit S,F2 many times) AND some commands on my X-45 go AWOL. As I am converting missions 1.02 to 1.1 - you can say that I am thoroughly testing 1.1. I have a month old XP install, P4 3.2E 2048 RAM X800PRO SATA RAID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate--IRL-- Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 This happened to me in the demo, whenever i pressed # for radio commands. luckily this has not happened with the full FC install. Somebody else has had this problem on the forum (sorry can't remember where) and he tracked it down to his particular brand of keyboard and mouse.

Guest ThomasDWeiss Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 It is quite annoying - it spoiled already many missions. The labels vanish only for the enemy fighters, all rest remain as they should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluster Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 The same happens to me. i run CH control manager cause I have CH pedals and throttle. After some second the rudder and the throttle fail to respond. thanks for help Cluster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After some second the rudder and the throttle fail to respond. thanks for help Cluster It happens as soon as I hit one of the number keys on the keyboard (for example #seven for ground mode attack), labels remain and keyboard continues to work Cluster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manta Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Same issue here... Then I cleared all 1.02 missions and uninstalled Lomac. After defragging HD I installed once again lomac and FC and everything seems ok so far. It seems a conflict issue here. 150GCT_Manta http://www.150gct.it/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicote Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Have been playing FC for last couple of week's. Excellent sim. Only major issue that has caused me problems is keyboard not responding. Happens about 1 in 10 missions after approx 5 mins play. It also seems to happen after a ground attack run using Vikhrs or anything requiring TV/laser lock. tried reinstal and that helped for a while but problems back again now.

Han Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 If first sight here may be two causes: 1. You have NewView on your PC. Remove it. 2. You have USB keyboard or joystick. If USB device will once "blink", than LO will stop see it untill restart LockOn. With Best Regards!

If USB device will once "blink", than LO will stop see it untill restart LockOn. If that is the case with usb joystick then why is it only some commands that stop working? You would think that if the device blinks the whole joystick would become unresponsive until you restarted LO and not just some buttons/commands, I personally have resolved my issue so this dont apply to me anymore but I dont think that the device "blinking" would account for just some commands not working but still having some control over the AC with other JS inputs.

Han Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 NewView may give such effect. "Blink" also too, if you've maped some keyboard commands in joystick's keymaping program. With Best Regards!

Chicote Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Fix for sticky keys. Looks like sticky keys are caused by a Windows Accessibilty option called Filterkeys. This is activated by holding SHIFT key for 8 seconds. See below "Holding down the SHIFT key for 8 seconds turns on Filterkeys. Filterkeys causes Windows to ignore brief or repeated keystrokes and slows down the keyboard repeat rate." Explains why I was only getting problem after a Vikhr run where I was pressing SHIFT O to activate laser. To fix problem go into the Windows Control Panel, select Accessibility Option and then select Accessibility Option again under the Control Panel icon title. Then in the pop up window select Fiterkey settings and finally disable the Fiterkeys shortcut. Hope this work's for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D17S Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Just a thought . . . Did ya'll clear out all the X-45 commands that came preloaded in the LOMAC control panel? I erased every last one and then use the X45's profiler to load Ruggbutt's excellent X-45 map. So far, so good . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D17S Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 That’s great. A success story. Sorry you had to opt for the ‘nuclear option’, but it appears that is not an unusual solution . . . and one that can work. It worked for me too. Glad you got it going Time after time I am seeing some kind operating system or software configuration that has LOMAC targeted like an AGM-65 locked onto a hot tank. Almost always, it only effects LOMAC and often leaves the program nothing more than a smokin’ hole. (Lock-ups/crashes/or, in other words, one time ED customers that might thing twice about supporting ED’s next sim that we all want them to build for us!) UBI has no idea what is causing this. ED would fix it if they could. We’re on our own. If you’re starting over with a fresh install, it would be interesting to see if something finally conflicts with LOMAC as you build your HD back up. Let us know. It’s almost certainly going to be several things, but every little bit helps. Thanks and good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Han Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 No NewView installed on your PC? No alt-tab during mission? With Best Regards! Daniel Tuseyev Il-2: Battle of Stalingrad and Rise Of Flight projects manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D17S Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 What's NewView and Blink? If I run across someone having problems, I'll make sure that the "Remove NewView and Blink" suggestion gets forwarded . . . but I'm not sure what this stuff is!
