Project Reality Forums

Hi all,
I'm a newbie and I have a big problem with PR 0.8
I download the Core and Levels installation files v0.8
When i play with a vehicle i must wait many second to shoot with heli(drive is difficult too),TOW mounted on Hammer,APC such as LAV 25,Linebreaker and others, with tank I drive it normally but tower cannon is locked..i move mouse and it's just move a lot and return to initial position
For move it I reset always control but when I go out from armor or I change position the problem return...anyone can help me?

Sry for my english...Im italian

THX for who can answer me

Don't worry that's normal. It's to simulate the need for a turret to "warm-up" before it can unlock, and more importantly, reduce single-seaters. I'm not sure if you have, but I suggest you read the manual as well, because it's essential to understanding the changes in pr from bf 2.

You can find the guide here, and there is a downloadable PDF file as well. you can find it on this page.


Welcome to the forums

I heartily join McLuv's offer to read the manual. I don't usually read the manual for video games but it's really, really important for Project Reality. It's not that long either.

You can't switch between two seats on a millisecond in real life. That's why it takes time before you can fire the cannon. And it's also why you should have a gunner.

This's OK
But what about the cannon's turret? I can't turn it because it's locked..

You did not get the point, did you?

Ok, in short... putting away the "realism" explanations.
You have to wait 30 seconds at the gun, before you can turn the turret. DON'T switch positions, because everytime you go onto the gunner seat (position 2 / F2-key) you have to wait again 30 seconds before you can move the turret!

EDIT: I also STONGLY recommend one of the following:
- READ and UNDERSTAND the manual
AND / OR
- get someone who knows PR already to show you how it works on a server
AND / OR
- go onto a TRAINING-Server and test/ask/find out for yourself

Good luck!

Thx to everyone
I will read the manual with more attenction

Glad to hear it. Also, I suggest you just get onto a fairly populated server and find a squad using mics (you should have your own, too ). Just tell them you're new, and try to stick with being a grunt until you've got that down pat. Most SLs would welcome you and try and help you out as best they can, I know I usually do. But don't get too put off if you're kicked out of the squad.



Oh, and BTW, whatever you do, DON'T try flying, ever, until you can do it on a training server.
