BobMiFly 0 Posted September 16 Returning Noob here, Just trying Arma 3 again after a year of absence. I play in singleplayer Eden Editor Scenario mode. A couple of years ago I created a Red v Blue urban combat setup on Altis with a helo, tanks, infantry, an enemy base and that big chain-gun-toting landing craft, etc. I'm running Arma 3 with a few of the most popular mods: ACE3 and CUP vehicles, weapons, etc. And with "place vehicles with crew" checked YES. Slowly remembering how to get back into the game.... I started the scenario and found that I couldn't get into some of the armored vehicles. I was able to get into a tank but I couldn't move from driver to gunner. When I clicked on the mouse wheel the switch seats menu appeared, but rotating the wheel did not move the cursor off the "exit vehicle" at the top of the menu. It just made the display slightly zoom in and out a bit. I cant remember how to do this.... So next i started moving as an infantry soldier, and at some point got hit. I tried to administer first aid but I could only get the inventory screen to show up and no way to administer first aid.... I watched a few videos but all just say....click on the mouse wheel and rotate to what you want to do...but none of that works. Probably missing a most basic setting or procedure to enable both of these things. What I really need is to talk on the phone with an Arma 3 pro for about 10 minutes while i sit at my machine with the scenario running....but that is probably not an option...... Any suggestions are appreciated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jackal326 1181 Posted September 16 Sounds like your control settings have been reset, the historical default controls changed around about the time APEX released and the new "default" is more "FPS-based" than it used to be. Anyway, [ and ] I think should scroll the actions too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobMiFly 0 Posted September 16 Ok, so what do you suggest to reset it to the correct settings? Thanks for the reply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Options > Controls > Presets (down the bottom-left of the menu), then select which-ever you want to try. Experiment and see what works for you, but mine is set to 'Arma 3 APEX' and I have no issues. If you try these and your mouse-wheel still doesn't work for options its either a mod-conflict (ACE maybe?) or your mouse is FUBAR... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobMiFly 0 Posted September 18 FYI Jackal 326 After a couple of hours of fooling around with keystrokes and looking up various keyboard layouts, swapping mouses, etc. The answer to "cant switch driver to gunner" is: YOU MUST HOLD DOWN THE SPACE BAR WHILE SCROLLING THE MOUSE WHEEL! Pretty simple but is it written down anywhere? not really. Next is figuring out how to administer first aid.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jackal326 1181 Posted September 19 If you're running ACE (which your OP states you are) its not as simple as just having a first-aid kit in your inventory. You'll need to use the ACE Medical Interaction system (unless you've disabled ACE Medical). I'm about 8 years out from the last time I've used ACE for a mission so I'm not exactly the most qualified to talk you through it but I bet YouTube (or even the ACE Thread) will have some tutorials etc. I seem to remember it uses a combination of the left windows key, with a mix of CTRL and ALT/Shift for various sub menus... I still maintain that ACE is the most-likely root-cause of your Action Menu issues (and the requirement to hold down the space bar to override it)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobMiFly 0 Posted September 23 Thanks Jackal I'll have to take the long road through youtube videos looking for that 1 needle in the needlestack.... I don't need to use ACE. I am far from a frequent user of the game but would like to have my older grandkids able to play it without glitches and hundreds of questions from them that I cant answer about simple things like switching from driver to gunner and how to set a cache of first aid supplies and ammo somewhere. If there is a decent group of mod packages you would recommend, vs ACE and CUP which is what i have , i'm all ears. Basic needs are helo, decent rifles including sniper rifle/scope, rangefinder, antitank RPG's, various APCs and tanks, artillery, grenades, and the structures used by the military.... Thank you for your responses.....I also forget to check the forum for a response.....sorry.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
