Stupid Question
 

When I am in game is there any button to exit or for settings?

Because eveytime I got to fly something the only way to exit is to alt-tab and close the game.

I almost press all the buttons and I cannot exit to menu or to find any settings menu.

Try pressing your Esc button.
It is at the top left of most keyboards and is usually marked 'Esc'.

Use one finger to give it a firm, yet short, press down all the way.
The menu with the option to leave the game will then appear.

Ok I am not that stupid. :P

Of course I pressed Esc but nothing happens.

While most of keys work (so at least keyboard is working)
For example "P' pauses the game as it should
And "I" starts or stops the engine.

But "esc" is not working in game, if it should, I dont know what is the exit key.

Esc works in the first menu when I enter the game, because if I press it, it asks me for quit.

That is strange.
Check for sticky Ctr or Shift keys.

Try 'F Mode' or 'F Lock.'

I'm not sure if 'F Mode' affects the Esc button, but it's worth a whirl. I know it'll set up secondary functions on the F1 through F12 just like the num lock on the numerical part of the keyboard.

Older Logitec keyboards would default to the secondary F functions.


Also make sure you Esc button hasn't been 'reassigned' in the IL2 control panel. It may be that you just need to reassign it.

Hi

Add this to your conf.ini file in the IL2 installation folder.

[HotKey gui]
Escape=activate

Thanks for your replies.

The esc works in game but not for exit.
For example if I press TAB a list with voice commands appears, if I press esc the list closes.
So as a key it works, but is not working as an exit key.

My keyboard doesn't have any F lock key (I have a G15 the original)

So probably KG26_Alpha has the answer.

I cannot test it atm as I am at work.


But if you are right KG26_Alpha (and it seems that you are), how a key with a use such as the game exit is not in the default list and I have to put it manualy through the config?

Very strange

You asked for it when you said it was a stupid question to start with.

I'm laughing my head off. Letum will letum know when theybe stupid....

You guys are crackin' me up.

:oAsking for answers in "stupid" questions (at least when you know that they sound stupid to some) doesnt make you stupid.

Or they are?
:o

Thank you KG26_Alpha

It worked. :)
