Mac got his first Multi-Crew Kill

The video is long and seems to have some irrelevant stuff but I will try to explain.

Brought Mac into DD's AspX and gave him gunner.
Mac couldn't target the punk so he could get the KWS.
Disbanded and checked settings on both computers. No problems evident.
Brought Mac back in. Still couldn't target the punk.
Ended up shooting at the punk to make him hostile and,, VIOLA', Mac could target and scan but this got us a 300 CR FINE.

So,, How do I get the gunner to target a non-hostile??

using the gunner mode aim at it and use T (target ahead), it works for me.

Actually, targeting is good for tracking, but gunners don't need to target, aiming acts like so.

Humnnnn.. I know I still have all the default "targeting keys set", and I have them bound to the top keys on my X3DPro. Normally though I use VA commands to select/change targets. Wonder if being in GUNNER is blocking the VA commands like it blocks them for the Chaff and the KWS.

Wonder if I can test this out on skimmers without causing then to go hostile and start shooting at me..

Ok, I have two more kills with Mac as Gunner. Pretty confident that the VA commands are being blocked since I was able to use the keybaodr and the Joystick to lock and unlock the targets.

Stll ended up with 200 CR fines for DANGEROUS WEAPON FIRE.

I did a LOT of kills with DD flying alone and never got a fine. Something is hosed.
