    Hi,

    How can I edit parts of my current vehicle ?
    I'm trying CTRL + W as defined in the keymap :
    Code:
    %mm.bindVLuaCmd(keyboard, "ctrl w", "partmgmt.showGUI()", "");
    ... but UI is not displayed. Do I need to do something else before doing this ?

    Thanks for your help !

    I just understood why I can't open the edit parts menu : as I'm using an AZERTY keyboard, I need to type CTRL + Z not CTRL + W.
    Pretty simple ?

    @Devs : is a fix in progress ?

    OMG! It was the same problem as yours. It's very strange that I could use any type of keyboard on Win 7 and it still worked. After I started using Windows 8 the layout of lithuanian keyboard changed and I couldn't realise that. :D

    I think BeamNG reads the scancodes directly rather than reading the character returned. The scan codes for the physical key locations on AZERTY and QWERTY keyboards are the same, just the character that corresponds to is not. BeamNG was just looking for the key that is in the same place as W on a QWERTY keyboard.

    Bit of an odd one. I think improvements to button mapping are coming in future, perhaps it will be sorted then. In the meantime I think this issue should be added to the FAQ. Nice find.

    Yes, I think I was not the first one who asked the question here ...
    Putting it in the FAQ could avoid many other questions like this one !
