Hey all. I'm having an issue bringing up the engine control window. I know you are supposed to right click on the screen to bring it up but nothing is happening. I have tried it several times and once in a while it would work when I tried different parts of the screen but now I can't get it to open at all. Yes, my mouse is on and it works. The right click button is operational. I don't know if I screwed up some setting somewhere or what. Has anyone ever heard of this problem ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also try youtube for startup procedures on all the aircraft...

I recommend getting in the online server as soon as you can take off if that's ultimately where you'd like to fly...I flew single player for 30 minutes before I took the plunge...The ATAG online server is a great environment to learn and there's not really any damage you can do in there as a new player.....It is also mission based just with real players trying to foil your objectives...If you are concerned then pick an airstrip furthest from the front line (there always is one or two on every map) and get some alt before you go hunting...You'll get tagged a lot but there are tricks you learn out of pure desperation in those first few weeks that you'll be able to use later...I know cos I still use the same tricks I learned then too because they work...and never underestimate the stall to get you out of a tight fix...That sometimes works too...

TeamSpeak is optional but you'll learn a whole lot faster with it even if you say very little once you are on the server...You are quite welcome to just listen if you feel more comfortable with that....so you don't actually need a mic either...Try it and see!

Lewis, thanks for the quick reply and the great welcome pic ! There was a lot of great information there and I appreciate your time. However, the problem I'm having is that when I right click on the screen to bring the window menu up, nothing happens. I am UNABLE to bring it up. I am doing the procedure exactly as I'm supposed to. Nothing happens. The mouse moves around the screen and I'm able to click on the clickable controls in the cockpit but right clicking on the screen does absolutely nothing. You can understand my frustration here.

Hey Bull-shark,

Check out this thread (https://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18615). He seemed to have a similar issue.

If you did any weird editing to your confuser.ini it may have gooned the window portion of the application. Roll through the thread and see if their fixes will work.

Don't give up!

Zeb, thanks for the info (and thanks again, Lewis, because a lot of what Zeb sent me was from you). I am currently not at my computer but I will try these things as soon as I can. I did try to uninstall and reinstall but it reinstalled with all of my settings intact so maybe I have them in the cloud or something. I will check all of that. Thanks for taking the time - it is much appreciated.

Hey dB. I replied to you on Steam. As I said, I am doing the procedure correctly. For some reason it does not bring up the window anymore. Before, I would try right right clicking in a few different areas and then eventually it would work. Now, not at all. Very strange. Seems it must be a setting or a glitch or something. Was just trying to find out if anyone else has had this problem. I guess not.

If I understand right you are trying to edit the engine info window and you can't bring the "edit window" for the engine. have you tried to create a new one?

Like he said!

Also...could try to reinstall CLOD...Take out your 'confUser' and 'user' files for backup...The go to 'integrity of game cache'...Worth a try..
