I use a HP Pavillion Windows 10 set up. My Controls are W= Throttle up. S= Throttle down C= View change etc. Sometimes during gameplay these buttons will some times no longer function and all I can do to drop bomb throttle control etc have to be controlled through my mouse pointer on the controls in my cockpit. This is very slow and hard to be effective. Does any one else have this issue? And is there a way to get keyboard controls working again during the game. I usually have to close and reopen game to reset it. Thank you for any advice.

are you using wireless keyboard. If Yes, try replacing battery and see if it works.

I get the same problem, and I'm not using a wireless keyboard. Unfortunately, the only solution I've found is to tuff it out with the mouse pointer until I crash or someone shoots me down. When I get back in plane, sometimes by controls are back, sometimes not . . . it's about a 50/50. Eventually, they have always come back during the game for me, but it is a royal pain, especially on bombing runs.

Hi Cypher and SE (and Blue),

I use a laptop running windows 10, and it sounds like I have an identical keyboard set-up. I've also run into this same problem. I have found that I can fix it by clicking on the chat and hitting 'enter'... not typing anything, just a blank post. I'm pretty sure that every time I've remembered that fix, it has worked.

I should probably also say that I think its possible the chat function is (in some mysterious way that I couldn't begin to diagnose since I have no programmer skills) the source of the problem. That is, this problem seems to only occur when I chat during a game. If I choose to remain silent, the problem does not appear to emerge at all.

Hope that helps. See you all in the skies.
Cheers,
uncertainty.

guys,..when that happens,..just click in chat box. ( with mouse),..dont type anything,..and press "enter",.. that works always for me

Right on. Thanks for the replies. I was thinking that I was the only one with this issue. And yes it only seems to occur during a game where i use chat. I will try the click chat then press enter remedy and see if this works. I will also post this to the thread for Bug Fixes. Thanks again.
