Greetings! I have a silly problem. No matter what mode I'm in, once a mission finishes loading and I'm in the cockpit, the console is open by default. There is nothing in my startup shortcut that activates it, and I can't find any options about it, and searching through the net and these forums have proved fruitless; any idea why this is happening? Thanks much!
Try pressing 'ctrl' + '~' . That should disable the console.
If that does not fix your problem. What version of the game are you playing? Are you playing with any mods?
In 1.3ta5 (and pb4a before that), errors in ODFs will open the console after loading. Bzone.exe should flash the console open momentarily, then close it after a second. Bz2edit.exe will keep the console open. Stock should not cause this to happen; have you installed any mods that don't note that they're compatible w/ 1.3ta5 (or pb4a)? If so, please complain to the modmakers.

Oh, yes, closing the console is no problem, it's just a bit inconvenient that it's open by default each time.
I was unaware there was a 1.3ta5, I only have 1.3 and Forgotten Enemies for 1.3, guess maybe I could try updating to said patch!
Wow, that did it. Thanks much, guys!
MrHooHah do you know General HooHah by chance?
Either General Hoohah got dishonourably discharged, or it's his brother. :-P
