What's up with PT Boat Rockets
« on: September 07, 2012, 03:16:38 PM »
I posted this in the tech support section but Skuzzy is out till next week... Any theories as to why this is happening?

Since I started flying again after about a year off I'm having a problem with PT Boats I never had with the previous versions of the game. I can't select, move or fire rockets.

I load up with rockets, open the doors (and see the launcher swivel) and then press seven to move it up and down.

Nothing happens.

I can go to any other station on the boat (1-6) but cannot select station 7. I can also fire torpedoes from station 1.

It's driving me batty, especially the other night when I managed to spawn with the CV directly in front of me but could only sit there plinking at it with my guns till the ack got me.

I noticed it the other day too but I had had a few so I thought it might have been something I did.

  Check your key map to make sure #7 is assigned properly.
