Salute, all!
In the wake of the latest patch, I can't seem to get my F keys (i.e., F2, F3, F4, etc.) to function in Career mode. Granted, I have only jumped into a new career that I launched last night with the new channel map...so I'm not sure if this is channel-map related or career-mode related. The F keys do work in Quick Missions.
Anybody else experiencing this?

Make sure you 'check' the allow spectators option in your settings.. Aha...so that was the difference. Been wondering about this myself. Thanks for the clarification.

I think it's a literal interpretation. The external view is like a spectator.

Could this perhaps be the first indicator that 777 is planning MP in career??? Hmmmmm......

The Jedi Master Seems to me they should finish the SP campaign first.

It's strange sometimes how things work... Ref the channel map, I messaged Viks at 777 and he told me that we can't transfer our current standings and ranks achieved in our ongoing profile as the channel map is on a separate database!!! This means that even though you have attained the highest rank, you have to go back to the start or lowest rank to play a career on the channel map! How mad and frustrating is that! The good thing though, is if you use PWCG you can start at any level, choose the amount of activity you want to see at the front, fly for just about any squadron that actualy flew in the war, and even change from map to map as the sqaudrons changed locations.. this is something you can't even do in the official game, and Pat has put all of this together himself! Amazing! Why they went w/ a separate DB is anyones guess but it doesn't look like a good decision in hindsight as now they can't be linked. It is amazing what Pat has been able to acheive and he keeps improving it.

The Jedi Master Seems to me they should finish the SP campaign first. Negative. Co-op has been badly neglected during RoF's recent development. We can't get multiplayer careers soon enough. If they use the same mission generation scheme between SP and MP careers future fixes could be applied to both. Right now there is a gaping lack of Co-op missions especially with recently-released planes as flyable. Cheers, Fafnir_6

Had the coolest thing happen in quick mission. Collided with another plane and we were stuck together for most of the way down to the ground. But because of this external view thing I couldn't get a pic of it
