Works fine on ORNYMG 150.1

There are background programs that can catch key presses, what other programs do you have running?

[pcohen]

Hi Derek, thanks for reply.

Currently only MSTS is running In openRaills.

Thanks

Paul.

[derekmorton]

MSTS does not run in OR, do you mean that you are running MSTS content with OR?

You need to check with task manager for other programs running.

Under Apps Microsoft edge Is running.

Under Background processes (59) All on 0 Percent (cannot find Percentage key on this keyboard)

Hope this is what you meant.

Thanks

Paul.

Have you tried other routes? On ET another problem was reported with F6 and it turned out to be route specific.

[pcohen]

Hi Charles, sorry , what;s ET?

Will certainly try some other Routes.

Thanks

Paul.

ET = Elvas Tower (it's another train sim site).

Is this a laptop? Some laptops hijack the function keys and require using the Fn key usually by the Ctrl Alt and Start key (lower left).

When I bought a new computer a couple of years ago, I found this switching of the actions of the Fn keys from what I had been accustomed to kind of awkward as well, so I found a way to change them. If you Google "How to Change Fn Key Settings Windows 11?" you will be able to find various ways of getting back the Fn functions you want, appropriate for your OS. Then you will find F6 works as it should.
