Balloon controls: changes

Because I'd noticed that the function keys on my new laptop worked differently from my old one, I pulled up a save file for Asguaard to check the balloon.

Now, instead of F6 and F7, its ctrl+F6 and ctrl+F7.
I noticed that someone else had to use lock plus the keys.
It might be helpful to other players to post here any more variations, so that people don't get stuck.

But I suppose it is a matter of your laptop being different, right?

as in, all functions (not related to asguaard or even games) that involve F-something require to add CTRL

Yes, it's the laptop that's different, and many of them need ctrl, but not all of them, and a couple of things that I used to use F keys for don't seem to do it no matter what combination I've tried.

I also realise that I've started this thread in the wrong place; it needs to be in the main section, not hidden away in Maps and Walkthroughs

Moved!

This kind of stuff is exactly what I came up with this topic in the first place:

Ctrl +F7 doesn't work on my Windows 10 laptop. I can fly around, but can't land. Any other suggestions?

It should be just F7, not with CTRL.

I think the keys are F6 and F7.
Make sure you can land (ie be over a green patch of grass for instance).

f7, F7, ctrl f7 or ctrl F7 or ctrl+F7 doesn't work. fn F7 or f7 doesn't work, alt F7 or alt f7 doesn't work. I tried many, many different combinations with no success. I have downloaded the game again. No change. I've tried to land in all kinds of different places, even as soon as I come out at the first flight. I know I have to be over land to be able to land the balloon and I always am. This is so frustrating.

Maybe a silly question, but can't it be your F-keys are turned off for the game? Does F1 do anything when in Asguaard?

Well, I have a silly question, too. What are the F keys besides the letter F or the fn? F1 does nothing.

Never mind! I found out what was wrong. It is the little, tiny letter and number next to the big icons for my volume controllers. I have to hit the fn button first each time. At least now I can play it again!

My bad - by F-keys I mean Fn keys (F1, ...).
And good to hear you solved the problem. +::Thumbup
Turning the Fn keys off can be pretty annoying. It tricked me so many times...

I don't have the ability to cut the f keys on and off except by clicking the fn button each time I need the f6 or f7 button. That's OK. At least I can play it again! I'm already back on the world map!
