.....but I guess no such luck.

Buff Auto Guns seem to be inoperative. Fire primary doesnt fire the entire formations guns, just own aircraft's (like fire secondary did earlier).

Added: Further investigation revealed that it fires only he gun that you are in not all possible guns on even the one plane.

Now I am REALLY hoping that this is a STICKY!.....

All fire buttons and keys have been moved into the global set. There are 3 different fire functions there. Fire primary, fire secondary, and fire all guns. WRT to being a gunner, this is how those functions work:

Fire primary- fires only the gun you are manning.

Fire secondary- fire the secondary weapon of the position you are manning (e.g. coax machine gun in tank turret)

Fire all guns - Fires all positions that are slaved to your gunner position. This includes other gunner positions on your plane and other planes in your formation.

It sounds like you just need to map a button to fire all guns and use that when you're a gunner. If you only want that functionality when you are a gunner, use one of the other modes to map that functionality and then switch to that mode when you gun.

so we have to map out different "Modes" now and toggle thru them
if we want the same controls as we had before with one mode?

Thank you for clearing that up Pyro!

Guess I am going to have to start learning how to use different stick maps......AGH! Got away so far without dabbling in all that compex stuff.......

Sigh! Back to dweeb school! Or is it called Newb school now?

Yep done that, seems to work OK now. Just that in previous versions it was fire primary that fired al guns on bombers and not fire all guns, but I guess it makes more sense to have "Fire All Guns" fire all guns.

Just made out three new stick Modes........I ahve a throttle so I can afford to do this:
Mapped + to Fighter controls
Mapped - to Bomber controls
Mapped \ to Vehicled controls (Q and W for gears, Select Primary fire for toggling between AP/HE/SMK etc.)
