Sorry to spam the thread. But if you're going to play ACE, you'll need to make sure you have your keyboard set up properly.Â
The most important thing and which often confuses people is the Interaction and Self Interaction keys. By default they are setup to use the left-windows and right-windows keys on the keyboard. Not everyone has the right-windows key on their keyboard (especially older keyboards), so it is important to make sure you re-map it. You can do it from the ACE Menu in game (just press escape in-mission or from the main menu). Without both of these functions you can't really play ACE!!
A couple of other useful keys;
SHIFT-3 allows you to choose various methods of grenade throw. Underarm roll, Overarm throw and post. Have a play with these.
SHIFT-SPACE - allows you to rest a weapon either on the ground when prone (not all weapons can do this). You can also rest a weapon on scenery (rocks and stuff) and also against the corner of a building.
PgUp and PgDown control the brightness of NVGs.
There are tons of map tools too - check the ACE Documentation for how to use these.
There are loads more - it's worthwhile having a play in Single Player!
I apologise if you are all ACE veterans and already know all of this!
