Title: A 3rd trigger key for fire gondolas weapons......
Post by: clouds on June 14, 2004, 03:27:40 PM
Hey guys what do you think about the assignment of a weapon to a self choosen key ?

That means in example, in a 109 we can carry 20mm cannon gondolas assigned by default to a precise trigger key (Primary or secondary weapon key I don't remeber well now) but.....i could decide to use my gondolas separately from the other weapons assigning to it another trigger key so I can have 3 weapon keys: Primary, Secondary and eventually another key for gondolas weapons.

This is because I've noticed that in a 109 I usually set the inboard weapons convergence to 650 (but this is not a problem because they are close to the plane centerline), while instead I set the outboard gondolas to 250 so, when i fire to near tgts all is good, while if i fire to far tgts (I could say farther than 400 yards) the gondolas fire is lost because of convergence problems.

Instead I would use gondolas for near tgts and inboard weapons for far tgts.

If it had it in real life then yeah, but I have a feeling it didn't?  Anyone wanna clarify?

It should be added, there was at least the 190s that had three separate triggers for, I think, the 13x2+20x2+30x2.
