    Yesterday I played BF2 on my M17 ... but this time not at home with my Bluetooth Keyboard ... and as I tryed to shoot during flying ... I realiced why I had to suffer so mutch :eek:

    When I press "W + D + -> + SPACE" ... the keyboard seems to be overstrained. I only know this from Keyboards not pluged in with USB (3 pushes not more) ... so I was realy suprised and disappointed^^

    Is this related to W7 or is this a hardware "problem" also on Vista?

    THX for infos!

    Split-S followed by an Immelmann, especially if there are some clouds around. if he loses you, that should put you nicely in position behind him without having to press thirty-three buttons at once. after that, just smoke him with the sidewinder. if he tries to hit the deck, get him with an aim-120.

    two staple moves of air combat, and then shoot the bogie down. doesn't sound too difficult :)

    on a side note, gotta hand it to the germans - they sure know how to fly :D
