Unable to change views on laptop

First off, I have searched the forum for this info but came up empty.

I am running fs9.1 on a dell d610 laptop, using a joystick without a hat switch.

I can't seem to get FS to recognize the num pad embeded on the keyboard.  This makes chaging views a real hassle.

Any suggestions?  Without reassigning the keys.


Thanks

Hold the Fn key to use the NumPad usually.

or....just spend some $15 and get a usb num keypad. that way you'll have a full keyboard.

Yeah, I would say buy a numpad.  You could probably get it for even less than $15

Or buy a joystick with a hat switch. Almost all have them these days. And you dont have to spend a fortune on them.
