Hey all,
Just picked up WOTR, looking forward to getting into it but am struggling a bit to get to grips with the key mapping. Specifically, I want to set NumPad 5 to look up, so that when I press Numpad 4 (over left wing, as per default) + Numpad 5 I'm looking at 9 o'clock high, Numpad 3 + 5 would be looking about 4 o'clock high, and so on. Am I missing something really obvious? Thanks in advance :-)

I don't think you can set it up that way, numpad views are usually built in and don't normally edit.
Unless you use some other 3rd party software you can't bind main keys like a numpad 4 and numpad 5 as a combo.
You can use CTRL, SHIFT or CTRL+SHIFT combined with a key for example but not two main keys as far as I remember.

Far far better to use TrackIR (very recommended) or free head tracking.

For most people, using TrackIR is like the seeing the light when trying a joystick for the first time after flying with a keyboard for years.

You could press scroll lock to free up the keypad panning. (put it back on lets you snap back the view when you then press a numpad key).

Have to agree with Pol Jonny_bass,Trackir or alternative headtracking is a worthwhile investment.
Do you fly with a joystick? does it have the POV,S on the stick? you can use them to pan around...You can also use the mouse to look aswell pal.

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
