Minigun usage

[skypickle]

The minigun addendum says:

 

- 115V AC bus must be powered
- Master Armament switched to ON ("M" position)
- The minigun can be moved using Track-IR or the mouse
  Using the mouse, click the mouse center wheel twice, and then once to allow the mouse to move the minigun.
- Shooting can be made two ways
  Joystick or keyboard, a button or a key must be first assigned to the "Pilot Stick/Fire Gun or Rocket" command.
  Mouse, Shooting is triggered by the left mouse button.

 

Although I can swivel the gun w the TrackIR, I cannot shoot. Yes, the master arm switch is up (M).

On the minigun, the cover is also flipped up and the toggle is put into the up position. 

Pulling the trigger on the stick (which is assigned to fire gun) does nothing.

Under the controls setting drop down, try assigning fire minigun under SA342 Gunner. Plus you have to be in the doorgunner position to fire...

It is NOT the pilot stick trigger or weapons release that makes it fire

OK. I got this to work with the mouse but first I have to press L alt - C (clickable mouse cockpit mode ON/OFF). I also had to check 'decoouple minigun' in the special options.
