Got film? Got ammo?

Did you reset your gunner controls? B17 and tank turrets the same thing.

Ditto what Hans said. Was stated in the readme file for 1.02.

What are the gunner controls now? For example, in the half track I used the key "N" but it does not fire any gun let alone all four guns. Hitting "B" looks like it fired only two?
What is the button fire ALL guns at a gunner position in a halftrack (or bomber too I guess now??)
Thanks!

If you go to the setup page and look at keyboard mappings, you can see what all the defaults are anytime.

Thank you Kieren. I got it all set now. If it was any closer it would have taken my nose off.

Thanks hans, did not know u could "reset" your guns, will read up on that.

Well, what I meant was I had remapped some keys using the keymapper for the gun turret of my tank. What came as a surprise to me was the fact that I had inadvertantly remapped some keys that I used while flying as an airplane.
I had to be carefull and make sure I wasn't undoing my keys for my airplanes while making buttons for my tank. The big thing was the turrets. The gunner of a tank is the same thing as a gunner for a bomber.

I have seen something similar to this before 1.02 but did not think it was enough to report.
When I had my guns at extreme angles (I mean all the way left, right, up, or down) they sometimes would not fire. I would have to move them slightly off of the extreme to get them to fire. Sorta like a "dead zone". This is especially true on the cheek gunners in a low six position, and the rear gunner of the 26 on extreme left/right/low positions.
I have also had times when I quickly switched gunners and they did not fire, even though they looked to be not in the extreme position. I thought it was something with my connection or something with my joystick.
I will pay more attention to this. If people think I need to worry about it I will start to film and think about reporting it.

I feel the best way to fire guns is by using DirectX (DX) button 1. This button, I am assuming, is almost always the trigger on joysticks.
The advantage to doing this is that you have have 2 paralell means for data entry. Keyboard data does not interfere with DX data and vice versa. IE: You can still fire while trimming, zooming, etc...
To select primary, secondary or both gun functions I change stick sets. Stickset 1 is fire both, Stickset 2 is fire primary, and Stickset 3 is fire secondary.
As an example; you might remap the key f to select Stickset 2. Instead of directing firing the gun, pressing f now configures AH to fire the gun via DX button 1. Pulling the trigger now shoots primary guns. This will work in any vehicle or plane you are in, because primary guns are primary guns.
This can all mapped very easily within the AH keymapping and stickmapping routines. They are very versatile. Only your own imagination limits you.
Good Luck! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
