How to fire the guns on the B17G

Postby CaptJon1979 » Tue Jul 28, 2009 2:04 am

I downloaded the file by HerbieG B-17g Ack-Ack Annie. This is from the readme It says  -Guns flashes, smoke and cartridges.You can experiment changing the triggers.I use the strobe (O) key, adapted to the trigger of my joystick. I have tried this and nothing happened. I evened moved all the gauages where they need to be. So do I need any extra effects in order for this to work.

This didnot work I have pressed "O" and "I" and smoke only appeared like contrail type smoke so I went and deleted all files and reinstalled it and nothing still. What have I done wrong I read the readme and printed it too and still nothing happens.

Check the aircraft.cfg file.  in the [smokesystem] section there would have to be entries that end with something like "fx_guns" (for example).  Also, there would have to be a coresponding "fx_guns" effect file in your Effects folder.
