Aircraft Gunner Sight.....

[wld427 1705]

Hey everybody....

I am hoping someone can help me eith this. Im working on the gunner optic for the Su-24 fencer. Im having an issue witht he gunners head not turning with the sight. The optic perfoms perfectly other than you cannot designate your target since the co-pilot is not looking there.

if anyone can spot my error please help.

Same problem with my B-52 right?

As RKSL mentioned, ArmA bug.

Ingame, the TAB key is your only friend as gunner ;)

Not all guns are head mounted. Aircraft gunners are usually looking at a screen and not turning their heads.

@wld427= this looks all too familiar...went down this same road with the F-111 in ArmA1 and was hoping they would fix this in ArmA 2. Hope they do in Arrowhead. Will open a whole bag of tricks....

Found this with the F-111 as well. We tried various "gunner turrets".

Looking more in the direction of a console. I like what was done in the F-117, but this in corporates Mando's and have no ides where to start with that.

@Gnat= have you had any experience in using one for your B52? Would you mind a coop in this regard?

Yeh, but no. I prefer to use standard coding in my addons.

Consules are best left to others.

..... but this thread just gave me another idea to try, that maybe a work-around.
