How Do I Angle the Upper Wing Gun Upwards?

[artao]

I've read that the upper wing guns can be angled to shoot targets above you, but can find no way to actually do that.

Please help. It would have been useful many times yesterday.

Thanks.

AHA!

Yet another command to bind to one of my joystick buttons.

..

Eventually I'll hafta re-consider ALL the assignments I've made and turn them into a more logically useful unit. LOL

.

T.1600M HOTAS .... PLENTY of buttons. (Tho the game apparently doesn't allow button combos)

Just gotta determine what's most useful and needed and, more importantly, WHERE on the HOTAS system to assign them. ..... That's HOURS of "gameplay." hehe ... game play ... heh ....
Normal "tuning" for any flight sim, of course.

You may also want to map a button to fire only the upper wing guns (I think the command is something like group 2 weapons), so you're not wasting Vickers ammo when shooting upwards.  FWIW I use a button on the T16000 to tilt the gun and then spacebar to fire it.

Same here. I have the trusty MSFS Sidewinder 2. Button one for Vickers, button two for Lewis and a button on the HOTAS to tilt the Lewis.

 

Hope that helps.
