- Give them time, they'll get better. It seems that they won't fire
- on any target that your chopper is locked onto, can anyone verify this?
- If this is right, just use the select next target key (or whatever it's
- called) to select some other target, or none at all. Then they'll
- start blasting.

- Try milton.u.washington.edu, I think the directory is
- /archives/pc/mps/gs2000. The patch which is there, v6 I think, does
- weird things to the select next target key, but seems to work fine
- if you use joystick button #2. It also adds a couple of other control
- modes, like two joysticks (it's nice to have rudder-like controls),
- joystick and modified keyboard controls, etc.
-
- Hope this helps.
