Hiya,

Is there a way to disable control of Flight controls while in Gunner position of your own bomber?

I use a twisty stick, and find that when i need to act as own gunner I inadvertantly kick in rudder input while moving guns around, which then causes my bombers to react and go off course

Cooley i havent found that out yet unless you have a stick that can switch between modes or sticksets.....There is surely a way to do it but would have to disable rudder inputs from your stick in that mode.....

Cooley,
try adding a bit more deadband to your rudders. You'll soon adapt to the change in fighters. But it will make a diff when gunning.

At least it did for me.
