How to set up Turret controls?

[335th_GRAthos]

ATAG_Dutch found the solution for me at the ATAG Forum so I post it here since it may be useful to others as well:

The axes controls for yaw and pitch (in turret controls) only affect the movement of the gun also for me, not the turret itself but again, maybe with two sticks it'd be different.

What I'd like to see is being able to assign all turret controls to your hotas, without it interfering with your flight controls once you've switched postion. At the moment, if you assign gun yaw to your rudder pedals, the gun moves, but so does your rudder! This might be different in multiplayer set-up though.

Swinging the turret around with your feet, as per RL, and moving and firing the gun with your joystick would be way cool!

THANK YOU = THANK YOU = THANK YOU = THANK YOU = THANK YOU ! :TYTY!:

'Keys/General' so this is where this frigging button was...

By the way, I would not use the same joystick for the turret control...
In most cases, I am badly shot up (so the bomber does not fly steady) and p@ssed off at my useless gunner and the bandit (aware that my gunner went on vacation and is not shooting back) is stuck close behind me.
So I need to take over the gunners position while flying the plane as well.

And yes, I have the left/right turret control on my Rudder pedals (and my rudder on my SW2FFB). But unfortunately it is the left/right gun movement - not the turret (there are no axis options for the turret).

Thanks to your solution I assigned the gun trigger to my Stick main guns now. I do not know whether it will press the trigger of the forward guns as well when I am in the rear gunner's position but it does not matter.
I have Saitek Pro pedals so I set the movement Left/Right of the gun on the rudder pedals and the Up/Down of the gun on the right break pedal.
Theoreticaly I can fire the rear gun HOTAS flying the plane as well.

Does anybody know if there is a key to kick that useless rear gunner of mine out of my plane? :Grin:
