Rockets on PT boats: How do you fire them
« on: January 10, 2001, 09:31:00 AM »
I can make the rocket launchers swing out into firing positions, but they don't seem to be loaded (can't fire or select them). Haven't loaded the new patch, so maybe this is was a bug that's been fixed.  Anyone know? Thanks.

 I open them by pressing the letter "O" when in the Captains position (pos 1) and then elevate or fire them from position 7 using my joystick and the "B" button. I use my rudders to slew the boat left or right and align the bow on the target.

Once doors are open (they are swung out & rdy) jump to pos 7. Adjust elev with stick forward & back & fire away. Note, no traverse, but rudder will turn boat.

from your captain position press any key that you asign on the key mapper to open doors on the vehicle. then press the 7 key then fire secondary weapon key or button. before you fire pulling joystick up will give you proper elevation.And rudders will help direction.

Sabre,are you going to be doing any scenarios in the near future?

I found I had to map a gunner key to get them to work. Once I did that, it works great. I have "o" assigned for flight and also assigned "o" for gunner. Prior, the open doors gunner key was unmapped.
