why do some of the key commands not work? such as getting the radar sweep up on the no cockpit screen....
You have avionics settings on "novice", set it to "realistic" (option menu).
also don't have the waypoints available when i press control enter to put weapons on safe and get the nav mode...
Look for the upside down lollipop symbol (Comanche).
the F12 key does not let me fly a selection of aircraft when i am in free flight...have gone to the eech.ini file and made sure the fligh (sic) any aircraft is set to 1...
F12 has nothing to do with it. Just start a campaign and you can select e.g. the Blackhawk now. With F12 you can cycle through all army material (press "U" if you like the helicopter, so you pop into that one).
