Default How do you throw a flare?

I've just started playing Tomb Raider II (PC version) and I don't know how to throw a flare. Everywhere on the Web, it says that you have to press the same button than the one you use to light one, but every time I do, it does nothing. What am I doing wrong?

But that only makes Lara drop the flare on the ground, she's doesn't throw it.

I'm pretty sure Lara throws a flare if you press the flare key again. But that may be only in TR4 and not in TR2 or TR3.

You are indeed correct Mytly.

Hmm...in my versions of TR2 and 3 Lara can throw the flare by pressing the flare button (both PC and PS versions)

That's weird it doesn't work for you, Newtype...it really should

I just found what the problem is. You can indeed throw a flare in TR2. As you guys know, you can use the number buttons to quickly draw a weapon. The number 0 lights a flare, but it doesn't allow you to throw it. However, if you use the / key to light a flare, you can also press the / key again to throw it. This must be a mistake from the programmer. Thanks for the replies.

It should work no problem with the 0 key.

Maybe it only works if you have an English keyboard. I have a bilingual French/English keyboard.

Just tested it myself and had the same problem with the 0 key. Just tested it with / key and she tossed it, no problem.
