Controlling Weapons/Rotors with the Mouse.

Hello i didnt played for like 6 Months. But when i played i was able to build a ship and attach a rotor do it. On the Rotor i attached a Cockpit + Weapon so i was able to target with my Mouse. The Rotors where Moving up when i pointed my Mouse upwards, and where moving down when i pointed my mouse down.

A good example is this Mod:

There you had the Turrets attached on a Rotor and where able to control them with your Mouse. Is this still possible? And if so, how?

It's only kindof possible.

You're not actually controlling the rotors. You're controlling a gyroscope, and forcing the rotors.

Moot point, since turrets are controllable now. Save yourself some hassle, go to the change log, and watch the patch videos on all the stuff you missed.

The Problem is, i am using a Mod where you only have a Barrel and i need to attach the Barrel to something which can turn.
Its the A Better Arsenal 1500mm HE so you can have a sight by yourself

Use a remote control block, a camera, a gyro, and two passive rotors.

Since i didnt play for a long time, could you build it for me and upload it to workshop? So i can download it and see it with my eyes?

Normally, I would, and I'd also make poke fun at you, saying things like "Why am I doing your homework?" Unfortunately, I'm not actually posting from home right now, so I can't.

My suggestion stands. Get some popcorn, and go on an update-video marathon. You'll save yourself a lot of hassle.

Well i watched some Videos on Youtube via the Searchterme : Remote Turret but i was not able to get it to work. So if you would try it out when you are home, i would really appreciate it

The Problem here is . I know how to make a Small Ship Turret on a Big Ship.
But since the 1500mm HE is a Big Ship weapon i dont know how to make a functioning Turret without it getting extremely big

Ye sure. Another Problem i have is, when i turn my Mouse the Rotor is speeding up like Lamborghini on Crack. When i move my Mouse 1mm to the left the Rotor is allready rotating like 20 Degrees. I tried all settings on the Rotor but nothing worked.
