Can't unlock target

Postby burninator » Fri Jan 05, 2007 2:58 am

When playing CFS2, I can't get the target brackets to go away.  Pressing shift + ` will sometimes change the target, but other than that usually doesn't do anything.  I've tried changing the key commands and assigning it to buttons on my joystick, but nothing works.

I can't get the darn brackets to go away unless I shoot the guy down!  I know they arent that big of a deal, but they bug me.

Has anyone else had this problem?  Please help!

I don't use the target brackets for the very reasons you quoted. As far as I know, they can't be turned off unless A: The target crashes. B: The target is out of radar range.

You can also trick the program By pressing the Shift together with the T dial. That will bring up the Tactical display. Now press the T dial and you will get the options of Ships , Gound Objects and Vehicle and AC. Now change the bracket from a AC to a ground tarket. Now none of the AC will be cover by the braket.





I hope I have been helpful

On my system pressing Shift plus ~(the tilde key) will turn the targeting bracket off.

So after I read that last post I tried changing the tactical display and that worked.

Then after that, using shift+` worked all of a sudden.  I don't know why.  

For anyone who can't get shift+` to work, try messing with the tactical display and then try shift+`.
