No Turret Control

[PatrickAWlson]

Getting back into a tank after some time away.  I have no turret control.  Can't turn it, elevate it, or fire anything.  I can drive well enough.  I reset the key mappings to default.  I then mapped my joystick as well.  Neither key nor stick inputs are accepted.  I am in the gunners position.

 

Tried mapping turret traverse to the mouse as well - no luck.

 

Ideas?

Mmmmh, there is a bug that blocks the movement of the turret ... changing position or locking / unlocking sometimes allows you to regain control of it ... if that's not it, then, sorry, not solution ... but congratulations, you discovered another bug ... good luck

I finally got around it by designating the mouse as the turret controller and then mapping mouse movement and controls to the turret.  The mouse is the only thing that worked.  Joystick and keyboard did not.

Usually it's because you have mouse selected as the controller in the Basic Settings (forgot which one, the one towards the top of the settings page). Joystick should be selected,  mouse is default.

 

This one.

hello 

just to give you a feedback to shoot core problem

in my case both keyboard and mouse turret control works now 

so there must be some kind other problem involved 

if you have a copy of default input folder as a back up 

you might try with it 

that might reveal the hidden casue

when you changed to gunner position, did you use the take control of keyboard command?

As in Shift-T?  yes.

 

CTRL-C to move to the gunner's position.   Shift-T to access the gunsight.  Did I miss something?

 

BTW: no doubt the problem is in the chair.   I'm just trying to figure out what the heck I'm doing wrong.

The answer is T

CTRL-C until you are at the gunner

T to control the turret (why do I have to press this?  If I am in the gunners position isn't it obvious that I want to control the turret?)

Shift-T to nestle to the gunsight.

 

Nice video here:

The simple answer Pat is the Turret/gun locking system they put in place several releases ago.  The code has the gun being put into “Road Travel” position when ever it’s “not in use” instead of a “prepared to fire/centered/ready for combat position” when it’s not in use.  We’ve complained, but like all things TC, it falls on deaf ears……

Sdkfz10-5:  It's the same for me, buggy?  .... 

Example: i can't get back to drivers position with the side boards in traveling position once the gun is been active.
