Description
Control the Camera

Pilot cameras, AI gunner turrets, and connected UAV turrets can be controlled from the cockpit view via simple controls:
Hold key and use mouse to slew.
Keybind to slew camera to HMD target or waypoint (Shift-click, Group, or ACE MicroDAGR).
Toggle stabilization.
Keys for Turret zoom
Vision made can be changed with Panel Mode or Vision Mode (Vehicle)

Doorgun Control
Manual Fire to have AI Doorgunners track your view direction and fire on command. Use group selection F1..F10 to select specific gunners. Gunners will only fire when they are within 5 degrees of aim direction. Works for Zeus remote controlled helicopters.
Use the base game control Weapons > Toggle Manual Fire (default ['/"] key to start/stop gunner tracking. While tracking, use Fire (LMB) or Command Fire (Ctrl + LMB) to make them shoot.
Hint showing status of gunners can be toggled in CBA Settings.
Rear Ramp guns only work in half their arc, pending fixes https://feedback.bistudio.com/T176798

Additional HOTAS Compatible Keybinds
Take Control - avoid having the scroll menu change
Collision Lights
PiP Toggle

CCIP Track
Track unguided bomb CCIP (roughly). Calculations are a bit off, most accurate at 35-40 degree pitch up loft/toss trajectory. For other bombing profiles, use Gun Elevation Up/Down (Page Up / Page Down) to adjust camera.

For IR lasers on turrets/tgp, see https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2919323490

And because of that any time i shoot a missile or toggle the laser it also shoots one round of the main weapon
Timber 7 Oct @ 1:13am 
Ive found that after i left click like to toggle a laser on or fire a missile or round of any type it will auto reset to the first weapon in line for example i have fire modes for the AH-64 for the gun and if i try to switch to another fire mode as soon as i left click it will switch back, or if i toggle the laser on it will switch back to the first weapon. any way to stop this? not a deal breaker but definetly annoying

keeps randomly opening up the gunner window and then the cursor sticks to the middle of the screen

Yes I can normally use the Camera from the Pilot Seat and control the Aircraft at the same time, as in not letting go of the Plane controls to use the TGP, both can be used at the same time.

Also worked in the Back Seat empty and filled by a Player.

I tried it with an AI Soldier grouped to me but that also didn't work for the F-15 or the FA-18F where slaving from the cockpit works.

That may be because on these Firewills Aircraft the TGP Camera isn't synced from Pilot to WSO. Every "Seat" has it's own "Camera" to use with the TGP.

I was playing on a Server with the FA18E/F and had my Buddy WSO for me expecting it to be linked but we had seperate Cameras and could even Lase separately with me being able to lock on either one of the Lase Markers.

Can I provide more Data to be of Help?
Thx for the quick Response and patience with me.

Is the camera normally moveable by the pilot? Or is it only moveable by the WSO? If the latter, make sure the WSO seat has an AI in it, grouped to you.

Hmm, I am not sure if I am doing somting wrong but it does not seem to work for Firewills F15.
It works on the FA-18 E/F, A10, AV-8B, EA-18G Mods but not the F15. I have tested with and without the Rebalnce Mods but neither worked, and it worked with the Rebalance Mod for the A10.

WSO Seat also does not allow the TGP Slewing in any of these that have one.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to look for a Solution.
