Speedbar Issue

Post by :FI:TacticalS! » Mon Feb 14, 2005 6:13 pm

Been asking around the Net about this problem but forgot to post it here among "family." ;)

This weekend I installed IL-2 Manager 5.0 available from Check-Six!. I tried out the no Speedbar option and thought it was neat for offline as it only shows the Heading (no altitude or speed).

However, when I went to turn it back on (meaning back to normal) it still only shows the Heading. :shock: I have toggled the Speedbar, double and triple checked the IL-2 Manager and IL-2 game settings.

Does anyone know how I can edit back the speed and altitude settings? I'll play around this some more tonight if I can't get any answers. I'm just not ready to go without my Speedbar. :(

Not heard that one before... but oh well, someone has to be first. Could not have happened to a nicer chappy :D

You have a keyborad setting toggled for it? If not try setting one up and seeing if you can change it that way.

It's probably one of those setting in the conf.ini file. No idea which one though. To near supper time to start looking Image

If you want I can mail my entire conf.ini file, it will probably fix your issue, but will probably screw everthing else up for you :)

Drop the tea time dear chap and work on this problem ASAP! :D

Thanks for nothing Gurb. ;) Don't think the setting is in the config.ini file - I looked. I'm hoping it's a glitch that will go away when I fly some mock online games tonight (as it's suppose to only effect offline according the IL-2 Manager).

If not, you'll see Tactical crashing more than usual. :(

Well it is a toggle/command/option in the FB set up options. Conf.ini is the only place I can think of where they are stored..

Hi TacticalS!,

Thx for your question, it seems you found a bug. That option doesn't work anymore in manager. So if, you change it in PF, you can't change it with Manager.

So, here is the solution for you :

1- Launch PF
2- Create a multiplayer game
3- In the Mission select window, go in the difficulty panel, and select or No speedbar.

Do the same for offline mission, and it would be ok.

Best regards, and thx again.

Thanks Phoenix, had some English guy trying to help but, well, you know. ;)

Hey wait a minute, it was the French that got me into this mess! :x
