Numpad

[Blitz4]

I don't have a numpad and even getting through the tutorial is tough. I don't know how I should rebind the keys to not use a numpad.

At least for me that comes to mind, I use the numpad for two reasons - external camera movement and for entering numbers (duh). I may be missing something but that should be the main two in my own use. Perhaps you could rebind the camera movement to the up-left-down-right keys, and the up/left etc combos aren't specifically needed. But that also depends on if you fly using those keys - I never have, I've always used the mouse. The 'Change camera mode' set to 0 I think is only for 'livestream' (F6) and the reset camera mode on 5 you could just tap the F2/F3 key twice to reset (or bind it to something else, B or whichever).

The default use for numpad keys is to look around, but you can do the same thing by holding [Shift]+MMB and moving the mouse.

mind is blown

I wound up remapping keys here and there. If that works, then I only need to press them for the tutorial or else the tutorial gets stuck. I gotta see if Shift+MMB works for the tutorial.

I've remapped the keyboard inputs I use most to the left side of the keyboard, which opened up the right side (mostly) for remapping "camera" and such. You can find the inputs at START/SETTINGS/CONTROLS/GENERAL

To remap a key, left click on the box that displays the current input to select and clear it, then click the keyboard input you want to use for that command.

Edit: Tutorials and screen prompt text will change to fit your remapped keys.

I could do that. I worry about other games/stuff.

Once I get a layout for a game I'd play for a while (like X4). AutoHotkey is another way todo that. I often stick with AHK cause no matter what, I can reset the game's controls to default and use AHK to rebind keys to what I want and save the script to the cloud.

There's even cooler ways, like adding new shift states, messing with the game's config files. If you haven't highly recommended. Like you can rebind all of those menu keys that you can't rebind, and last I tried, you can even have 3+ controls per command instead of the 2 that are allowed in the settings.


EDIT:
Oh yea I have TrackIR and I gotta try that out too. Only reason I have TrackIR is cause of the game DCS World. The Shift+MMB+mouse movement, if MMB is annoying if it can't be remapped, it can be via AutoHotkey and sometimes via your mouse software.

Yes remapping the keys do work even in tutorial, it will shows the prompt with the new assigned key
