Title: Firing all guns on a bomber or formation
Post by: Karnak on August 13, 2011, 03:28:12 AM
I am stumped.  At some point I ceased being able to fire anything other than the position I am at when using the defensive guns on a bomber.  I have Fire Primary set to "f", Fire Secondary set to "b" and Fire All set to "v", but only the Fire Primary seems to do anything.  When I press the keys on my keyboard instead of using the joystick, "f" fires the gun(s) at my current position on only the bomber I am on and "b" and "v" do nothing.

What am I overlooking?

Do the "b" and "v" keys work when you're in a fighter?  If not, I'd double check you in-game key map settings.
I also have my secondary mapped to "b". but my fire all guns is mapped to "n".  So far, no problems.

Which of the 4 control modes are you in? Is that mode set up?

I use the "n" key to fire all guns in all bombers, seems to work fine for me and I think this is the default.

While it has nothing to do with firing guns when I logged in to host FriKOTH, both transmit buttons on my joystick failed to work at all. They were registering in the joystick mapping section and going to the right area and they were mapped correctly. After the event I logged in later that day and all was back to normal.

Figured out what was happening.  The "v" key had been assigned to another command by a recent patch so it was showing both "Fire All" and either "Increase Gun Range" or "Decrease Gun Range", don't recall which.

I am not sure why "Fire All" was working in fighters and not bombers, but all better now.
