SRV controls help

[The Real Adster]

Hi Commanders,
I'm probably missing something really obvious here, but for the life of me I can't work out how to assign a secondary fire button to my SRV controls.
I wish to have my turret on primary fire button ( currently L3 ) and my data link fire on a secondary fire button. Cannot work out how to do this.
Also I cannot work out how to change fire groups whilst in the SRV. Either would solve my problem as I could assign the data link fire button to L3 but in fire group 2. I have done this, but cannot work out how to change fire groups.
Thanks for any help

Anyone?

I don't think you can change fire groups. At least I can't. You just have your primary and secondary in fire group one and that's it.

OK thanks. I guess this means when I wish to scan data points I have to disable the turret or is there a way to assign the data link scan to a different button?

I don't understand. I data scan with Y, shoot with RT, deploy turret with B. There's no conflict

You can assign the scan to secondary fire and have the turret on primary. So no, you do not need to turn anything off. Fire groups and primary/secondary fires are different. The SRV only has one fire group. On that one fire group you have primary and secondary fire. Same as our ships.

How do I assign the scan to secondary fire? I only seem to have one option "fire SRV weapon" which I have assigned to L3. With the ships I have primary and secondary fire which can be assigned to different buttons.
There is the option to "operate datalink scanner" which is assigned to A, but this only highlights objects and does not scan them when held down.

If you don't mind all your controls being remapped, choose the default or classic options in presets in the control options. This will map out the controls for the SRV for you. I chose classic and fire the dat scan with LB and turret weapon with RB....

Thanks for the response
Well I do mind really, but maybe I could get used to it if I have no choice. Perhaps I can look at the default controls and see how they work and then reassign them with a better understanding of what does what

Certain things can't be scanned. Try to find a crashed nav beacon. Those can be scanned. If, for some reason, you can't scan that then you have an issue. Or, like mentioned above, reset the controls back to default and go from there.

Cheers,

I'm not having problems scanning or knowing what to scan. However to scan I have to take the turret out of (1) in the fire group and make the datalink scan (1) instead. Then when I press L3 it scans things. I would like to have the datalink scan on secondary fire (2) in the fire group and assign a button to it like with the ships. If they are both on (1) the turret fires at whatever I am scanning. Not tried assigning the turret to (2) yet though. That's my next idea, but doubtful of how this would work

You should maybe map the turret to a button, not a trigger. On mine (variation of default or classic, can't remember), it's X to enter the turret. LB scans (secondary fire), RB fires gun (primary fire). Just press X again to leave the turret. When in the turret the triggers etc still drive the SRV, so you can look around and still be moving.

Hmm, thanks for that. Doesn't seem like too bad a setup I will give it a go. Atm I have vertical boost on LB but could switch it to L3 if I move fire turret to RB.
