*Controller.ini special note: This patch will replace your controller.ini file, which will reset your Joystick and Keyboard settings back to the default. If you would rather change only the section of controller.ini that addresses Shift 1 and 2, please temporarily copy and move your controller.ini file before installing the 1.1 patch. To manually implement the Shift 1 and 2 platoon member target assignment commands, please do the following:
Select the following (starting with [SHIFTED]) text by highlighting it with the mouse. Press Ctrl-C to get the text into the clipboard. Open your controller.ini file. Find the spot in the file where it says [JOYSTICK]. Place the cursor on the line above that, and press Ctrl-V. That will paste the text into controller.ini. Save controller.ini, and copy it to the root directory of Panzer Commander. You will now be able to use the shifted key commands, including target assignment.
[SHIFTED]
TRAVERSE_LEFT = K_NUM4
TRAVERSE_RIGHT = K_NUM6
TRAVERSE_UP = K_NUM2
