Using the chin/rear guns problem

Recommended Posts

When I try to switch to the chin/rear gun when flying the Albatross (I think it was the albatross, at least), the plane will automatically try to fly to the current waypoint. This obviously makes it almost impossible to hit anything using this aircraft, as the plane usually is not heading toward the waypoint, causing it to bank heavily. Is there a way to disable this behavior? Or, better yet, a way to have the plane maintain straight and level flight when switching to the gun positions?

 

Also, the manual says use "F8" to toggle gun positions, and "shift f8" to toggle in reverse. It took me awhile to figure out that only "shift f8" works to switch to the gun positions.

No gun in the Alb, but for 2 seaters..auto pilot (Ctrl+Shift+A) will fly straight ish... rem to disable that when you jump back.

Ah, excellent. That'll work.

 

I guess what happened was, I selected a fighter career, but advanced the date initially on the squadron I picked to the point where their default plane was a bomber...

 

At least that's what I think happened...

 

Also, the F8 issue is due to TrackIR taking the key to go into precision mode, so not a bug in the game.

K cool, use shift+F8 for the gunner, avoids the need to remap TIR
