How to operate door gunners?

[power5]

How to control door gunners with mouse? I have not been able to sight the door guns with my mouse. I have to use the <> ;/ keys to move the gun and then use Shft+ctrl+npad to move the gunner to line up with the sights. Obviously not efficient. Can barely do it while on the tarmac.

 

Maybe I am missing something so I will go back and keep looking.

I don't remember having to enable anything special to get the gunners to aim with the mouse. Did you check in your options for the UH-1H under AXIS COMMANDS and see if the mouse is linked to the views? My mouse axis's are mapped to Horizontal, Vertical and zoom views, maybe that is it.

 

Can you use your mouse to move any views at all? external, pilot etc

Hi,

make sure "Track-Ir Aiming" in "Options - Special - Uh-1" is enabled, and then turn on the Cockpit Mouse ingame with "L-Alt + C". Should work that way..as far as I can remember

Mouse view works in all modules including Huey. I know I had track IR aiming disabled because I do not have track IR, so I will have to enable that and see what happens.

The Track-IR Aiming option is key to getting good mouse control over the door guns for sure.... even if you don't have the Track IR

 

If you are having trouble just take a look at it and change the checkmark from whatever it's currently at. I swear that I had it checked in one update and un-checked in another... ? One of them will work to give you sight alignment and mouse control.
