when i play FL in fullscreen, everything is fine..... but when i play windowed ( like i do about 99% of the time ) i cannot "hold" my crosshair into one direction and press another key. ( duhhh... was that clear enough to describe the problem?:wacko:)
ok, example:
i am flying/dodging around - and i press tab to trigger the thruster. once i hit thrust, the crosshair resets to the center - and my ship flies a neat straight line, practicly saying "shoot me!" - happens with strafing, too - and all the other stuff - basicly whenever i hit an additional key on the keyboard. i can of course move the mouse again, but especially in case of the thruster - it resets me to the center every now and then ( rather randomly ).
i guess its a windows setting - any of you ever had a similar problem - or knows if there is a way to get rid of it?
Yes, go to the shortcut you use to open freelancer. Right click, properties, under Shortcut Tab in Target add " -window" to the end and don't forget the space.
habit - from the days of freespace 1-2 and wing commander .... i ll reassign another thruster key - and i m sure i ll die countless deaths, cause i ll hammer on tap ( which will then still autocenter me ) but won t thurst:D- worth a try though
Finally something i need... since the global server isnt working anymore... i cant play in windowed mode..
Cant wait to get home and add the -window/-w in my shortcuts...
The auto-centre of the crosshair is something new to me... never noticed it... i only know that it auto-sets itself after an cetrain amount of idle time of the mouse.
