Next Target (Tab) won't remap?

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, so I'm trying to remap all aircraft related controls onto my new joysticks for ArmA 2 CO. Every control I have remapped functions perfectly with my new joysticks, however for some reason the Next Target (Tab) function will not work with either joystick. This problem arose with my old joystick, but I assumed it was just a problem with that stick and dealt with it. However now that it still doesn't work with either new one (both are different from one another), I thought I'd bring it to the forums and see if anyone else has had the same problem and/or if anyone has a fix for it (it's kind of an important button in dogfights lol).

I realise it's no help, but it works for me. I have 'next target' mapped to a joystick button.

Have you tried with/without joystick drivers?

Can you assign keyboard keys to your stick? That might be an alternative.

An application called JoytoKey allows you to do this. I used to use it for push to talk buttons.

Thanks guys, I'll try these ideas and get back. :)

Edit: Ok so I have tried remapping it just to a different key and that doesn't seem to work, and JoyToKey doesn't work either. I think my game is broken in this regard lol.

Edit Again: Ok something rather interesting I noted was that if I deleted Tab from the Next Target key binding list (so that there was supposedly no binding for Next Target), if I press Tab in game, it will STILL target something. What the hell?

Are you sure to use the right one?

There is two with similar/same names. ;)

Oh... My... God... What the hell? You're right! There's two, both apparently use Tab as their key binding, they both are called Next Target even! Well I remapped the second one and it works fine haha, that is so strange. What is the difference between the two? Is it like one for air vehicles and one for ground?

One is for infantry i think. However after OFP there is no more infantry launcher with manual lock. All are auto lock atm.
