** IMPORTANT INFO INVOLVING AIR CONTROLS IN PATCH 1.45 **
Patch 1.45 has introduced 3 new AIR controls, located under CONTROLS in
the OPTIONS menu, on the 2nd page of the AIR tab. If you have applied
the 1.45 patch to an existing, previously played install of
Battlefield 1942, you will need to define keys for these controls
in order for them to work while playing.
For reference, if you apply the 1.45 patch to an installation of
Battlefield 1942 that has not been previously played, the keys are
setup by default as follows :
