Ive been flying this sim since the first day IL2 was released and seen some strange stuff, but this takes it. I cant take any more screen shots. With or without mods, checed the config file, changed the key it was assigned to in it, then changed it back. There is no control to activate it, and I havent changed a thing since i last took some.

Any suggestions?

Maybe you were typing in something wrong ?
I didn't give you the whole config file but this is from an unaltered/unmodded clean version of 4.08m.
It's the one I use to make a new copy of the game before I alter anything.
The extra parts of the config file are just so you would know for certain where it was located in a clean install.

T-landing, could you tell me where to find the dx thingy? The closest I saw was some kinda extension called dx8wrap, and I couldn't even open it.

Wheels up, that is exactly what I have for print screen. I changed it to anohter key to see if that worked, but it didn't, so I changed it back to exactly that.

This is the goofiest thing ive seen yet. And I really don't wanna re-install for the 3rd time in 6 mos. There has to be a file somewhere that has changed that affects this.

I would need to transfer all my stuff over to a new install, and I don't know what to leave out to keep it from happening again.

How is it coming with this one Enforcer ?

When you altered it did you change the file in notepad or did you do it in the game controls section ?

I believe you have the same thing but would you post it anyway.
No need to post the whole config file just a section of it will do.

Maybe you have TrackIR, and it's "stealing" the key ??
