Hi,

I'm having problems with the chopper missions. I start out inside the ship but as I go to take off, I'm left on the ground as the helicopter flies away. No views help the situation.
Any ideas? Seems to be a view issue.

thanks
Rick

Which mission(s)?

Your controls make it fly but you are outside? (Wow! I can use that for something else.)

To ask the obvious, you are certain you have not hit F12?

Nope, just when the bird is ready to fly, I am still on the ground as it flies away. All I've done is hit the Up Arrow for the collective. I have put the helo patch on also. Had it working a few times but it does this on every mission on the 1st mission set(with Helo's that is).
I'm running in XP sp2.
Also having problems with in-flight refueling which I am not sure if it's my ability to fly or my keyboard setup.
Rob who also has the game is also having the same issues with refueling. He's a pilot and a trainer in RL so I know his flying skill is up to the task. We believe it may be a keyboard setup problem.
Just as a side note, really enjoying the missions.
Thanks

Can you open your Controls folder and send the file to me that you use? Default or whatever you named it? Thanks.
