I've been playing 1946 for a number of years now & I decided to try the console version on PS3. I've had some trouble with the custom control setup regarding menu navigation.
On the X52, the Trigger is "square", the flip up Cross button is the "x" button, & the other 2 pickle buttons to the right of it are "circle" & "triangle" respectively. The lower buttons, T1 & T2, are "Select & Start" & T3 & T4 are "L3 & R3".
I won't bore everyone & list them all but I basically figured out which button represents the corresponding button on the wireless controller. I've mapped all the flight controls I need in combat to the Stick & Throttle & the less important buttons like gear, map, etc. to the keyboard.
I can navigate through the menus enough to play the Single Player missions & it works fine. However, it occasionally goes haywire in areas like the Hangar where I can start looking at the planes & then it stops responding & won't let me continue to scroll through or even back out. I don't want to turn on a wireless controller to get me out because I am afraid it will delete my custom setup.
After finishing the Single Player campaign, I thought I would hop online & try out the multiplayer with a Strike Mission. Since I've always preferred ground attack to dogfighting, I was pretty excited. I joined a lobby, & there was only one guy in there & he was in a fighter plane. I picked a YAK & readied up figuring I could just switch to a ground attack plane after I died. Nope! The options on the spawn screen appeared "grayed out" & I could not press the "square button" (I think) for profile.
I totally understand that I'm a little late to the game here & I certainly haven't learned all the little nuances but I would appreciate it if someone could give a little advice.
Thanks
