Hey Joker, I actually am using the German version 1.02, reinstalled game again, patched it with 6thsense .9 language pack German to English, seems the keys for f5 are mapped to command, just makes the status and command come up in arma, maybe thats why it doesnt turn on, but even when I alt tab out of game I can turn it on with f5 at desktop, but still doesnt seem to work, think there is a way to free up the f5 in game to maybe turn it on, nothing seems to work, just dont get it, is there a way to change the program default f5 to turn it on to something else that may not be mapped in the game or binded? example, using the no fog had to rebind home key and arrows to get it to work and bring up console etc, any thoughts, damn want to get to use this thing, frustrating as hell. thanks...
