    Setting Controls For Aircraft

    Hi, Does anyone know if it is possible to set the mouse keys as the 'Increase Thrust' and 'Decrease Thrust' for flying aircraft? I like to have mouse-look enabled to look around (as im left handed i can fly with the stick and control the view with my right hand). The problem I have is that I cannot easily adjust the thrust. I wanted the left mouse button to be increase and right mouse button to be decrease, however these keys are used for Fire and Optic zoom for the infantry. I dont seem to be able to remove these from the aircraft control without also changing the Infantry controls (if that makes sense) Does anybody know a way around this?

    Setting Controls For Aircraft

    Yeah this is the problem. The common controls like fire are not split between infantry / land vehicles / aircraft. So no matter what I do if I want LMB as fire for infantry then it must also be used as fire for all other vehicles. They have the drop down for Aircraft controls but they dont have a dedicated Fire command in that list... hence the problem.

    Annoyingly you cant remove the Fire or Optic controls as they are located under 'ALL CONTROLS' Oh well I guess it isn't possible. I have instead mapped the thrust to the POV hat on the top of the stick which isn't ideal but at least I dont have to reach for the keyboard!

    Aircraft seapons

    I have recently tried this but when i removeallweapons i am still left with the option to use them, although they have no ammo - the previous weapon names still appear in the list. How do i remove the names too?
  6. Basically I know very little about scripting and would like to know how to get a bomber to drop its payload onto an area and not say a tank. Situation of lots of troops milling around in town but plane will not target them so just flys around and around. How can i get it to bomb them!?!?! Thanks in advance

    Easy one for you scripters!

    Ok I have made a bodged attempt at the code you wrote for me: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> mirage1 = _this select 0 _iX = 0 _limit = 4 #Loop mirage1 fire ["flkmiragebomblauncher","flkmiragebomblauncher"] ~0.2 mirage1 fire ["flkmiragebomblauncher","flkmiragebomblauncher"] ~0.2 mirage1 fire ["flkmiragebomblauncher","flkmiragebomblauncher"] ~0.2 mirage1 fire ["flkmiragebomblauncher","flkmiragebomblauncher"] ~0.2 _iX = _iX + 1 ?(_iX < _limit) exit I get an error mentioning Reserved Variable in Expression - I assume its just me editing the code badly! Anyway YES! the plane will now drop 3 bombs in a line (not the fourth for some reason??) so i guess i will just play with it a bit to get it right! Thanks very much for your help

    Hey neat! I now have the bomb names. What do i need to do to get them to drop on a spot on the map? if its easier can i just get the plane to drop on a certain point on the map such as a town?

    Easy one for you scripters!

    Ok I have tried the DoTarget & DoFire commands on the planes but they still dont do anything I dont know the names of the bombs that it carries so not sure how to do the Mirage1 fire ["bombname","bombname"] I have tried it with the standard SU-25 and it does exactly the same BTW so its not the plane im using??....

    Thanks for the quick reply RED. I have quickly tried out what you said but it appears to make no difference. I have for test purposes just set up a group of troops on Desert Island. A Falklands Mod Mirage flies to waypoint above them. I want the Mirage to drop payload on to troops but it flies striahgt over them. I have added the "addrating 5000" to the units to be bombed but the plane does not even detect the troops, let alone bomb them!?!?! Like i say i am a complete novice to this but its really interesting. are there any manuals / references i can look at to help?

    1.96 problems

    I dont know if this is a bug or if it is something i havent set up properly, but with the new 1.95 / 1.96 i can no longer adjust my view slightly left or right. I use a joystick to fly helicopter etc and the numpad to look left to right but now all i can do is look as far right / left as possible and not hold the view (if that makes sense!??!?) Anyone tell me where im going wrong?
