Shift-Z not working

Post by mike5045 »

Just upgraded to v5.2, client only. The Shift-Z function is no longer working.

Is there a new setting somewhere that I have missed?

Cheers,
Mike

Hello,

Refer to this post: https://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopi ... 6&start=15. You will either need to install the updated content package or update the file I posted as a workaround.

Hi,
have the same.
Try if other keys work. "S" Key to toggle view, or "P" for pause.
If not, hit the "CTRL" key once. Check again the above mentioned and Shift+Z
If it works now, minimize the Simulator open a browser and check what happens in the browser command line.
In my case "K" and "5" comes in a row as it was permanently repeated.

I have no idea what is going on here but it would be great to find out if anybody else have this issue.
Thanks
Andreas

No issue if you install Content also or do full fresh install of 5.2.

Issue solved for me.
FSUIPC was the rootcause of unexpected Key pressing.
Uninstall FSUIPC and reinstall latest version solved it.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. The solution for me was Rob McCarthy's new missionpanels.cfg file referred to in his post above.
This new file also activates the messages on the top right side of the screen.

By the way, I really appreciate the new white letters, so much clearer than the old red letters.

Cheers,
Mike
