With Flightgear's Increasing New Capabilities, We now have Dogfight Effects Such as Bullets and Smoke on Hit!


Setup

You First Need to Bind a key for the Trigger. To do this goto Your Flightgear Data Directory and Edit Keyboard.xml. Add the Following :

 <key n="119">
        <name>w</name>
        <desc>Gun Trigger</desc> 
        <binding>
               <command>property-assign</command>
                      <property>/controls/armament/trigger</property>
                             <value>true</value>
        </binding>
        <mod-up>
        <binding>
               <command>property-assign</command>
                      <property>/controls/armament/trigger</property>
                             <value>false</value>
        </binding> 
        </mod-up>
 </key>

In the Code, we have used w as the trigger. Change it to a Choice of your own!
