Key configs for Keyboard Players

So I was thinking of making this a Rate/Fix thread for anyone not using a joystick to play.

Just for the uninitiated, Your configs are the *.zrd files in the Microprose/Mechwarrior 3 (Or Pirates Moon)/Keys/ folder.

As the forum doesn't allow files of the *.zrd persuasion, just zip your config as a normal *.zip using any of the free compression software on the net. (I chose zip instead of 7z since many people don't recognize the 7z extension.

So I'll get this started.

This is the config I'm testing on my Laptop.

Due to my laptop's limited buttons, I chose to omit several functions that I deemed unnecessary (I don't need throttle controls if my throttle is the W and S keys).

I'm using the number line keys as the lance command keys as to not make FRAPS go insane.

So tell me what you think, and post your setups for viewing.

Thank you Slyde, this config is working great for me on by laptop with a few tweaks to make it easier to utilize in single player. Too bad the silly Training missions refuse to take note of any control mods you make (like my laptops \ key showing just as ] when I attempt to use it in MW 3 or how i do not have a numpad enter key)

Thanks again!

I was going try to work with my Mouse and Joystick configuration. But it seems that Mw3 dont want me to be able to aim with my mouse/ and use the moving controls with my joystick. ANyone know what im doing wrong? I even tried to map my joystick to letters i used when i play Mouse and Keyboard, to no luck!
