observer not firing(?)

[bubu]

I have been playing FE2 for quite a while and can't help but noticing my rear-seat occupant is not carrying his water (firing his weapon at enemy aircraft), rather he just eternally pans his gun around. Is this something hard-coded into FE2 or is there a file I can modify so he helps me out?

^{All two seaters or just one in particular? Let us know which ones. Should be an easy fix.}

every two seat aircraft behaves this way...

^{sort of frustrating but here is the strutter 110 data ini and the correct lines appear to be In there:}

Not sure if this is the problem but if you are using some of Peter01s flight models( or aircraft that are based off of his work) they use a different gun for the 2 seaters so if you do not have that gun installed they will not fire.

try either changing this "303CAL_LEWIS_MK2_Gunner" to this "303CAL_LEWIS_MK2" or find and install the gun named 303CAL_LEWIS_MK2_Gunner

I agree with whiteknight, change the "303CAL_LEWIS_MK2_Gunner" to "303CAL_LEWIS_MK2".

ok that worked... the gun referenced has to actually exist in the guns files... thanks!
