Can't aim the rear gunner...

[Trout]

Anyone know why on some aircraft (both online and off) when I switch to the rear gunner I can't move the gun around or shoot.

You need to hit your autopilot button. There's a way of setting it to manual control by default as well, but I don't remember right now.

If you jump in the seat and hit autopilot to take control, don't forget to give control back to the autopilot, or you'll have a 'dead' manual gunner back there.

what he said

"You need to assign a key to 'Toggle level Autopilot'.

Once used it will change the behaviour of autopilot switching:

- default is 'Switch Autopilot on' when you leave a position in a bomber.

- default is 'Switch Autopilot off' when you enter a position in a bomber.

Once you've used the key, the automatic switching is off, and you will need to switch the Autopilot off yourself when you enter the bombardier position, and (which is more relevant to remember) switch it on when you leave a gunner position.

Hope this makes sense!

Have Fun!"

lol FT actually it does not!!

'Toggle level Autopilot' is used for stabilizing the bomber. 'Toggle Autopilot' is the right option.

it was probably just a typo

I think it is called Autopilot Automation...

As FT said, it changes how the autopilot works in gunner positions.

This is old topic but...just use mouse man.

You move rear gunner MGs with mouse.

Believe it's by defolt.

I toggle the auto with my right mouse button and do just like Gec.
