Multicrew - gunner unable to use weapons

[Crank Larson]

Last night a friend and I decided to try multicrew in my Cutter to have some fun in a CZ. However, for some reason he tells me that whenever he takes on the gunner role, he can't work out how to use the guns. I can tell that he is the gunner, as I lose control of my turrets (as expected) - but he is unable to fire them. He's been able to use the fighter with no problems.

So, does anyone have any ideas? I have a feeling it is something really obvious that he/we are missing.

Is he able to enter the gunner 3rd person view? He needs to have a binding set for that. Has he set up his firegroups?

You have to manually set all the bindings, which takes time and experimentation, which is part of why I never use this feature.

Thanks. I did ask him to check both those things, but I guess next time we'll try to work it out before we get to the CZ. I don't know if he entered third person view - do you not go straight into that view when you take on the role (if not, then the key binding is most likely the issue)?

I've never even tried it thanks to this as I didn't want to fail on someone else's ship. A training mission scenario with the others would be good for this.

You don't. It's the very first binding in the multi-crew category.

You are free to fail on one of my ships if you like. I guess the tutor category kind of works for setting up.
