When you press the ACCENT (`) key on your keyboard or button 2 on your game controller in Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 2, you may experience any of the following symptoms:
 * You may not exit Padlock view as you expect.


 * You may unexpectedly switch to Virtual Cockpit view.


 * The enemy aircraft that you targeted may be displayed on the tactical display as a white dot instead of a yellow dot.

NOTE: If you press SHIFT+ACCENT (`) or TILDE (~), you may not be able to cancel the padlock on the targeted aircraft.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 2.



MORE INFORMATION

To target a different enemy aircraft, press the TAB key or button 3 on your game controller. To cycle backward through the enemy aircraft that are in range, press SHIFT+TAB.
