Control and KBD lockup In-Game

[lensman1945]

just a thought..and worth checking

make sure you have 'anthropomorphic control realism' disabled.

What the heck is Anthropomorph . . . ?

-oh wait



Okay, I'll be straight with you.
I have TWO keyboards on my rig, and one of them has been turned into a homemade button box.

So I KNOW about IRL problems with keys not working.
But I can fix those with a soldering iron.

This problem is different.
The rig NEVER locks up in:
IL2 1946
LOMAC Flaming Cliffs.
Microsoft Flight Simulator X
X Plane
Orbiter
Wings of Prey (don't laugh)

So it HAS to be a problem in CoD.




In the meantime, for lulz,
Here's my approach checklist:

Mix full Rich.
Throttle to 1/3
Wait for airspeed to bleed off.
Press Lower flaps key.
Press Lower Flaps Key.
PRESS LOWER FLAPS KEY! ! !
Press lower flaps key on the other keyboard.
Press lower flaps hotspot in the cockpit with the mouse.
Flyby view (numpad3) to check -NOPE.
but Hey! the keyboard must be working again so
Press Lower Flaps key.
Nothing.
Alt tab out to notepad to check keyboard is working. Yep they both are.
Back into game. - Nothing

Finally somehow get gear and flaps down.
On late final:

ON Centerline.
ON Airspeed.
ON Glideslope.

Looking Good, crossing threshold.

Power Off.
(I said throttle off. Off. OFF! Dammit, Dammit, Dammit. Go Around? To late the throttle is closed now.)
Level Off
Hold Off

aaand we're down.
aaand we're in the ditch at the far end of the runway.

Wait -
That's an ACTUAL in game setting?

I thought you were making a Joke about Real World controllers.

I wonder if the game is reading motion on 2 axes eg rudder, aileron and elevator and locking me out of the keyboard.

I wonder how long the lockout goes for?
How soon after making a trim adjustment can I lower flaps?

Thanks HEAPS.
