    No F Key Commands Working

    Just bought a gaming laptop with NVidia GTX 1050Ti vid card. (Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming).

    Loaded CFS2 in separate folder than default, loaded the No CD exe file.
    Told it to use CFS key assignments, not FS.
    Sim works for free flight but NONE of my F keys work to change views.

    Went into settings in CFS2 and everything is as it should be.

    Any ideas?

    See if CFS2 is still using F2 or F3. Maybe the .exe has small bug?

    Lightbulb A couple of ideas:

    Yo Lee;

    Laptops tend to have split functions on the "F" keys. Maybe hit the "fn" key first?

    or

    Can you plug a USB keyboard into the laptop & see if that works?

    Yes, on a laptop hit the fn key and the F keys at the same time. You really need 3 hands for CFS2 on a laptop.

    Problem solved.

    Taking my shoes n socks off to hit the FN key with my toe while flying and changing views.

    My laptop has FN key yet things work fine. I'm using the FS key setup so "F" lowers flaps. Sounds like I got some good luck with this laptop and CFS2.
