I NEED TO USE A KEYPAD. I DON'T LIKE CRASHING PLANES!

Err.... yeah.

I play a game called Flight Simulator 2004, and I downloaded an aircraft that fires missiles and can shoot down aircraft. What I want to do is go to the gate, wait for a large airliner to taxi on a runway, follow him, and wait until 10,000 feet or so, and shoot them down

Problem is, when you're taxiing, you can't use your wings, or you'll turn over. You have to use something called a rudder.

In FS2004, the rudders are used by pressing keypad numbers. I am using a laptop...

Now this is an older laptop, and when you press Num Lock, it doesn't turn the row of numbers into a pad. I tried that.

I am going to buy a USB multi-tap and an external keypad next week, but is there a way I can use the row as a keypad? Thanks.

(By the way, I can't find the rudder control in the coc/kpit (wth it censored as ****...), so that's why this is a problem.)

I could've sworn Number Lock changed JKLUIO789 to the numbers 1-9 on the number pad. It does on mine anyway. Just do Fn+NumLk or whatever it is, and try to use JKLUIO789 as 1-9 and see if it works, because for my laptop, they're the numbers on the number pad...

Oh yeah, I forgot about the Function codes. I looked down on my keyboard, and saw them XD

It works now, and I shot down a small Cessna 172
