To disable the autotargeting on button 2 in I-War 2, find the default.ini in
the configs folder, and edit it in notepad. (Make a backup first).

find this section:

[icPlayerPilot.TargetNearestShipToDirection]
Keyboard, T
Joystick1, JoyButton2

Delete the third line, so it looks like this:

[icPlayerPilot.TargetNearestShipToDirection]
Keyboard, T

That will remove the targeting when you press button 2.

Best regards,
