Am I ghosting?

[KoKoRocha 9]

I use arrow keys for controlling the tank and z, x, c for the turret and space for shooting. 

 

I can circle a tank and turn my turret at the same time, but if I turn the tank, turn the turret and fire, then the tank doesn't turn. I have to stop the tank, then turn. 

 

 

To clarify, this is while using Firebird and Freeze: 

 

1)...I can turn the tank

 

2)...I can turn the turret

 

3)..I can turn the tank and turret at the same time. 

 

4)...I can stay stationary turn the turret while firing. 

 

5)...I cannot turn the tank while while firing, though I can turn the turret.

 

Seems when I add the spacebar in the mix, that's when I have the problem. 

 

I'm using the Asus iBuyPower keyboard that came with the computer by the same name. Both are about 6 months old and have kept up with all the drivers, updates, etc.

Does it only happen with Firebird & Freeze?

Yes, seems like you are.

Well, come to think of it, it happens with Isida, too. 

 

Everything seems to work fine until I get the spacebar involved.

It should happen with every weapon though you are more likely to notice it with constant firing weapons like the ones you mentioned. It is keyboard ghosting and the only way to stop it completely is to buy a better keyboard. You can also try setting different keys like u,h,j,k instead of the arrow keys though this isnt guaranteed to work.

I've done some reading about ghosting, but nothing is ever mentioned regarding the spacebar.

 

Remember, I can turn the turret and shoot at the same time, such as with Vulcan. But my tank doesn't want to respond while the turret is turning and shooting. But I can turn the turret and tank if I don't shoot. So, the problem seems to be connected with the spacebar and arrow keys.

You can check this topic, maybe it will help you.

Other than that all you can do is buy a new keyboard.

I've read that article before. But I can't seem to find anything concerning the spacebar as having a problem. 

 

I just read the post you redirected me to. I didn't realize the keyboard in the article was interactive. As I read the post, I see I'm not the only one with the spacebar and arrow keys combo. 

 

I'll go back to that webpage and explore it more. 

 

Thanks for the link.

Thanks for the link. I read the topic and was very interesting. I see I'm not the only one with the spacebar/arrow combo. I'll explore it more.
