Gun use in WOI

[Flanker251 1]

Hi,

 

I feel very stupid I can not seem to get my guns (or is it cannons) firing.

I can cycle through the air-to-air weapons (assigned it to D-key and SHIFT+D),

and by that way I can fire my targets with missiles/rockets but NO gun (cannon ?).

 

Please anyone can point me into the right direction?

 

Many thanks in advance.

Default key to fire guns it the spacebar I think.

Do the same thing to you PRIMARY guns assign you primary guns to your trigger on your flight stick you ARE using a flight stick right? assign your a2a and a2g weaps to the #3 and #4 buttons on your flight stick it makes combat a LOT easier Edited January 11, 2009 by Viper6

Thanks for the quick reply.

I will try that (my Trust stick) later on for sure.

 

Now I'm using the keyboard as control. I can fire a2a missiles and rockets but no guns.

This makes me and my squadron very unhappy :)

BTW, I guess gun==canon?

 

FYI, my "default.ini":

 

...

NEXT_AA_WEAPONS=D

PREV_AA_WEAPONS=SHIFT+D

NEXT_AG_WEAPONS=RBRACKET

PREV_AG_WEAPONS=SHIFT+RBRACKET

FIRE_PRIMARY_GUN=LCONTROL

FIRE_SECONDARY_GUN=SHIFT+LCONTROL

FIRE_WEAPON=SPACE

...

NEXT_GUNGROUP=SEMICOLON

PREV_GUNGROUP=SHIFT+SEMICOLON

 

 

If you got a hint I surely appreciate that.

In the mean time I'll try again and again.

BFN.

See where it says fire primary guns= control L that is your answer you can also change the weaps control in the options menu in the game

Thanks for the rapid answer JA 37 Viggen!

I have indeed assigned the Spacabar to fire my selected weapon(s),

I can indeed fire a2a missiles with that key, but no guns.

 

FYI, my "default.ini" relevant entries:

 

...
NEXT_AA_WEAPONS=D
PREV_AA_WEAPONS=SHIFT+D
NEXT_AG_WEAPONS=RBRACKET
PREV_AG_WEAPONS=SHIFT+RBRACKET
FIRE_PRIMARY_GUN=LCONTROL
FIRE_SECONDARY_GUN=SHIFT+LCONTROL
FIRE_WEAPON=SPACE
OPEN_BOMBBAY_DOOR=CTRL+O
...
NEXT_GUNGROUP=SEMICOLON
PREV_GUNGROUP=SHIFT+SEMICOLON
...

 

Thank you again in the mean time I'll try again to get my keyboard working

to fire my guns.

Hi again Viper,

 

It is SOLVED and not.

So I expected i could use the LEFT-CTRL to fire, no luck however.

Then I decided to try assigning another key (in my case 'C') and now I can fire my guns!

 

The CTRL-key is accepted (in Options menu) by WOI but NOT effective, strange as it is ???

Also I checked there was only one entry of LCONTROL in my default.ini, and ...yep.

 

Well thank you for your cooperation and for the fast replies.

Tomorrow this cat will have much happier dogfights.
