[X2] 1.4 to 1.5 Questions... And... a Gripe.

[Tolwyn]

Ok. you guys know I've been around since rocks were soft.
I failed to upgrade to 1.5 successfully, copied my save games, and installed from my Superbox X2.
No problems.

Loaded my last 1.4 save game.
No problem. Except...

Shift 1 and Shift 2 no longer map targets to my monitors.
I've reconfigured all the controls I have "control" over, but I can't get this to work anymore.
Also... Um. Egosoft? You guys are fibbing about 1.5. You've changed more stuff than just this whole "stats" upload thing. My bad guys are saying differnt things, I can't map monitors, things are just... a bit different.

EDIT: Superbox may be different than 1.5 Patch.
I've confirmed this as a bug with 1.5 Superbox

What gives? Any help?
Mostly, I just want Shift 1 and Shift 2 (etc) to map targets to monitors.

Patch 1.5 add only possibility to export your game statistics:

The new UPLINK facility to export your game statistics to a file which can then be uplinked to the Egosoft.com servers for display and comparison.

If I remember correctly patch change only texts files (440001 and other language description files) and X2story.obj file.
I never play X2 with 1.5 patch, but try to start new game and try it agin - Shift 1 and Shift 2.

Shift 1 and Shift 2 no longer map targets to my monitors.

Maybe you mean F1 and F2 ?

I use my monitors to view my target on the right and view my rear turret on the left. In X2 the monitors are a little more clumsy since there's no pointer control but they are still very handy.
