Can't move the turret

[Jorge_S]

I am having trouble moving the turret

 

I can access the firing position, then I can  "take control " and "lean to gunsight"

 

the problem is that I cannot make the turret move vertically/ horizontally, I think this is due to my trackIR hat taking control of the head views

 

is there a way to make the turret movement independent of the trackIR hat/ head view? Ideally to control movement with mouse, view with trackIR

Look for the key binding for your mouse 'Pilot's Head Movement Vertical/Horizontal'. It is what you need for moving the defensive weapons.

The funny thing is, six hours later, another player posted the same issue in the 'General Discussions'. You were not the first players with this problem and you certainly won't be the last, as it is not easy to understand, why the guns are controlled with the pilots head movement, not the camera movement, as I had thought, too.

The problem is, if you bind the mouse to head movements you can't use it during the sim or it jerks the view around. With TrackIR you have to unbind those controls, and then you can't control turrets.
