Heavy Gear - Remapping "A" and "C" keys
Sammy
Has anybody found where the "A" and "C" keys are mapped in the default
configuration? I can't seem to disable the defaults. The "C" is the
default switch between the 1st person and 3rd person mode and the "A" seems
to be set for "Auotpilot" - even though I find no mention of it in the
manuals.
I use the "A" for turn left - it works, but I get an annoying beep and
warning "Autopilot is not available" or somesuch. "C" I want to map to
crouch but without being able to disable the default, I'm reluctant to try
(crashes mid game I can do without).
Overall I like the game. It may not be the finest graphics - but they are
good. And gameplay is a lot of fun - take that cadet Timmons (you little
suck-up)!

From any screen before you enter battle, hit the escape key and you'll see
"cockpit controls". You can re-map all the keyboard commands from there.

their defaults because they are not listed! I've looked long and hard in
all the screens - if you've found the default locations please give me the
exact location.

Oh. Sorry, I misunderstood you. I haven't actually remapped those keys.
That's weird, though. I wonder why those keys aren't listed ??

Thanks Will. Editing the 'gamekey.map' file did the trick! You can edit it
with any text editor. It has a warning "edit at your own risk" but anyone
with the smallest amount of programming knowledge (like me) should have no
trouble with it.
