He-111 Crew positions

[1./ZG1_ElHadji]

So I thought I'd try to fly the campaign as a He-111 crew member. Thing is I can't change positions so obviously I'm doing something wrong. The keys are assigned but nothing happens when I press them from pilots position. I seem to be stuck in the pilots seat. It works in the Ju-87.

 

Any help appreciated.

Disregard. It was a mapping issue.

 

Next question: how do I map turret movement to my 360-controller? I want to sit back and enjoy the ride in-between combat. I can't seem to find the section in the controls settings where this movement is mapped to the mouse. Everything works except for actual turret movement.

I beleive the trick, at least for the mouse, is to bind the PILOT HEAD VERTICAL/HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT to the mouse, and make sure to UNBIND the "gunner head" movement options.

 

Basically, it's all controlled by pilot head movement, not gunner or turret movements. And it seems inverting the Mouse Y will kill the turret vertical movement, which is sad (so now I have to push my mouse up to pitch the turret up).

There is something wrong with the design here... Does head movement really control where the barrel of the gun is pointed? I mean, I should be able to point the barrel right while looking left. There doesn't seem to be a way to point the gun with the controller while using TrackIR for head movement. To be honest I find the entire controls setup menu to be a bit of a mess. Well, guess it's back to kb/m if I want to do this unless someone has a workaround. Thanx anyway Yankee.

 "PILOT HEAD VERTICAL/HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT ...There is something wrong..."

 

Is used the same command for turret because when one assume the turret (T) can look around, but when lean to MG gunsight (Shift+T), the only thing that want to move is the MG barrel. 

 

"Does head movement really control where the barrel of the gun is pointed? I mean, I should be able to point the barrel right while looking left."

 

Just leave the lean position (Shift+T) and  "point the barrel right while looking left"... supposes that this is useful.   

 

Look what is need (re)map, to control turret with gamepad (if possible):

Thanx Sokol1. Problem is that when I bind it that way, TrackIR stops working as intended when I'm not nestled to the sight... How on earth can 777 make something this basic so difficult?!? Also, where are the TrackIR bindings in the control list? Can't see them anywhere...
