How to set up Turret controls?

I looked all over and cannot find any vids or tutorials on this.

The controls menu is a bit confusing. Can you not move the turret with your mouse? I tried to assign it but it didn't work.

It is the same as looking around in the cockpit. You use your mouse or what ever you use plus you press the button that allows camera movement.

Hmmm...

Not sure I understand.

Button to allow camera movement?

Ummm... I use Track IR so I never push any buttons.

If you go into controls>camera, there will be an option to key bind a key to allow camera movement.

Pressing this key or button you have bound plus moving the mouse will move the turret.

In general control section, key binding fire current weapon will fire the turret gun.

I am not sure if it is different with trackerIR, as I don’t have it yet(I think my letter to Santa got lost in the mail).

If you are alone in a 110 do you yourself have to shoot the rear gun?

In the German gunner positions you have to open canopy just like in the spit or hurri, not to be confused with jettison canopy. You may then have to press f10 to enable the mouse.

I think the turret in the blenheim use the turret rotation keys, found under keys/Turret.

There was a bug if you changed to the gunner position then back to pilots position the rear gunner would stop working. Which in the Bf110 means no more cannon reloads... Do not know if its fixed...

Howzat?

Hmmm... actually, I was tempted many times to kick my AI gunner out of the plane or have him sent to the firing squad because he is there but never fires at the enemy planes

but he reloads my cannons every time so, I bite my lips every time...

So, yes and no: When you fly alone the ME110 you have an AI gunner. He is supposed to handle the gun (and shoot), re-load your cannons, watch for enemy planes.
You get two out of three, if you want to actually shoot at the enemy planes you have to do it yourself...
