    I didn't notice any bind function or feature in the controls area. Could you be more specific?

    It's just like binding the other controls. Just double click on the desired function, and bind a key to it by pressing it. Sorry if it's a little vague, I've always sucked at describing things

    Click the box you want changed, then click your hat switch or whatever button and it should set it, save and get playing.

    I knew about that, but there is nothing in the Air configuration screen for setting any such function. Is this something I need to set on the General configuration screen?

    Ahh. Yes, it's in the "common" settings tab, near the bottom.

    Okay, thanks alot. I played a bit last night and can definitely do better with the joystick. Actually got to shoot down a few planes, but being able to look around would definitely help in spotting other aircraft.

    Yea, flying in Bf1942 is useless w/o a joystick. The view switching can be a little tricky at times, particularly in the middle of a dogfight. It causes me to crash quite a bit Like I'll be dogfighting and have someone on my six, then I switch to rear view and forget my controls are reveresed and I go to pull back on the stick only to wind up nose diving into the ground

    It's been mentioned that the voices are getting redone, as well as adding the Iraqi voices.
    So does that mean when the coalition takes an objective the Iraqi Information Minister will talk and say they didn't?

    I've dedicated many hours to perfecting the art of flying. I can fly an F16 upside-down 2 feet from the ground now

    I'm going to try those hatch views u guys keep mentioning about.

    Arrow

    I programmed one of the CH-throttle buttons to switch hatch view with a simple thumb press.

    The only criticism I have is the ability to bomb yourself (in-flight) in this game. It's true to life to a certain degree (actually in real life, even at level flying there are flow effects, such as fuel tanks ripping through the tailpipe at subsonic/supersonic speeds). It's just that the statistics in the game are laughable. I don't recall the mass destruction of flights out of careless bombing of themselves in ww2...

    Then again I don't recall stories of troops dodging incoming bazooka rounds by jumping around either....those are some pretty weird one-on-one battles that go on, esp duelling with the game's AI.

    Yeah!!! Got it set up so I can switch the camera views. Thanks for the help. I also found that one of the joystick buttons will remove the dash instruments from view, so I get the cockpit view and x-hairs, just no dash, and I like it.

    If you push "inside view" twice (or once if you're already in "inside view") it will do that for you If you hit it again it brings the dash backup.

    I didn't know about it, I just ran across it on accident. It is way better that way.
