How to set up Turret controls?

Hmmm... actually, I was tempted many times to kick my AI gunner out of the plane or have him sent to the firing squad because he is there but never fires at the enemy planes
but he reloads my cannons every time so, I bite my lips every time...

So, yes and no: When you fly alone the ME110 you have an AI gunner. He is supposed to handle the gun (and shoot), re-load your cannons, watch for enemy planes.
You get two out of three, if you want to actually shoot at the enemy planes you have to do it yourself...

Well he seems pretty useless alright. He needs a swift kick in the rectum

The 110 gunner must work in AI only then, bucause I've had the blighters shoot at my Hurri.

Turret AI will fire the gun but rarely ever hit anything and will usually be dead
very quickly from any enemy fire on ur tail. You do get very frustrated when they seem to have a clear shot at a bandit directly on ur tail and don't shoot. Very useful however for spotting bandits before u can see them.

OK, here is another question:

Has somebody managed to assign a different key for the Fire button of the turret gun????
If yes, where is this frigging option in the controls????


I have setup my extra Joystick for the turret control but, I still need to use the mouse key because I did not find a way to assing the fire key on one of the buttons on the stick

Well, I have it working, but I cannot believe that the turret was that slow to traverse.

Also having to hold the center mouse button to move the gun mount and firing with the left mouse is really awkward. Far more so than firing a real Lewis gun I would think.

Very odd choices for implementing this area of the sim.

If not abble to chance in GUI, you can try whit JoytoKey.
Button "XYZ" from joystick = Left mouse button.

Just hit F-10 (to change mouse behavior) and no need hold center mouse button to move guns. BTW- Turrent Y axis are inverted - minus in Italian bomber.

I have given up in using gun turrets for a long time now. With the slow traverse I could have lived, but it's not only the akwardness of having to press one button all the time to fire, in my case at least up and down was reversed without any chance of changing that, so that's been that.

edit: Sokol beat me to it, but good to know about the F10 key
