The Dreaded PTA again

Postby Firebird on Sun Nov 20, 2005 8:16 pm

I am having the same problem as several others in that I cannot get the PTA to work. The system works without the activation selected, but no joy with PTA. I have searched thru the threads here, and found a statement that PTA will not work if the keys are assigned to any other function in the game. Since I am playing F4AF, the selections are extremely limited if that is the case since all keys are used in one function or another. I am using the latest build (1.7.8). I have tried everly combination (not including the f13-24 keys) that are available, with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated........[/quote]

Since I don't own AF, here's what I recommended to Polecat and it seemed to work for him. First, what I think is happening is the game thinks the PTA and the first action command sent from VAC is a key combination. It also appears F4AF is the only game to do this.

What I suggest is to assign the PTA key as the middle mouse button, then tie a joystick button/function to the middle mouse button. To activate the PTA key press the joystick button that's tied to the middle mouse button. From my understanding F4AF does not see the mouse button and a keyboard key as a key combination.

Let me know if that will work,

Thanks for the quick reply. I did get it working, but trial and error showed (at least in Falcon AF) that it will only allow a key which is not being used by the game for another function. Even if you try to string keys which together are not used, if any key is in use, PTA will not function (at least that was my experience). All that said, it is probably the most functional VAC that I have tried yet, and I have already recommended it to a few people. Great job Shift_E
