Can't move any turret

Macro · Post by **Macro** » 2007-03-13 13:04

Hi Hi
I am playing this nice mod now for a while but since some time I can't move any turrets. They're all moving back to center-position and when I try to move it is also shacking (I guess because of the turning back). First I thought it is due to my joystick, but even if I plug out the joystick I still have this problem.

Did anyone has a similar problem or knows how to solve it?
Thx

You need the crewman kit to operate vehicles larger then a jeep.
You also have to be in the same squad as the driver/gunner

You need to get out and request a crew man kit to operate the vehicle..look at the message on the top of the screen.
If you sit in that seat for more then 10 seconds without the kit you die!

Well my real name sure as hell ain't Red Halibut.

Macro. As you are finding out, many things in Project Reality are different. There is extensive documentation available both in this forum: http://realitymod.com/forum/f12-announcements-news.html and in the reality mod wiki http://guide.realitymod.com/index.php?title=User_Guide

There are so many changes to the game play from the "vanilla" (un-modified) version of BF2 that a read of those two areas is absolutely essential if you want to get the most out of the game.

Welcome and Good Luck!

Oh, I almost forgot: The videos available at http://realitymod.com/forum/t14783-proj ... ideos.html will go a long way towards getting up and running quickly.

I know that I need a crewman kit and I have one

Make sure you are in the same squad as the driver.

Macro · Post by **Macro** » 2007-03-13 13:23

Well, I read somewhere that I will be killed after some time if I am not in the same squad than the driver but not that I have a strange behavior in the controls.

It won't work if you are not in the same squad. Not sure about the killing part of it, as I usually bail out immidiately if the turret's not working.

Ok, I will try that out

Thx

sometimes you need to reenter the vehicle for it to work.

We ought to have a quick FAQ covering the very very basics that people see as the mod's installing. Things like "how do I request kits?", "why doesn't my plane/helo/tank/APC work?" and "why do I keep crashing the helo at takeoff?"

I think that would fix a whole lot of the issues in-game.

Maybe the turret jammed lol

Might be the squad issue.

Maybe the turret isn't responding because there is a hydraulic leak somewhere in the vehicle, just re-spawn with a wrench those can fix anything.
