Beskrivning
My version of the 105 mm Howitzer Motor Carriage M7 American self-propelled gun.

It's an approximation, not a 1:1 replica.

The 105 mm HMC M7 was produced during World War II, and was given the official service name 105 mm Self Propelled Gun, Priest by the British Army, due to the pulpit-like machine gun ring, and following on from the Bishop and the contemporary Deacon self-propelled guns.

A total of 3,489 M7s and 826 M7B1s were built. They proved to be reliable weapons, continuing to see front-line service in the US and other armies well past the end of World War II.

The M7 Priest served in North Africa, Western Europe and in the Pacific Theatre, and also in the Korean War.

It is armed with a 105 mm M1/M2 Howitzer and a 0.5 in (12.7 mm) M2 Browning machine gun for self defense.

The vehicla had a crew of 4 - driver, commander, gunner and loader.

The 105 mm Howitzer had a reload time of 8 seconds, which I set the timer to, but in game it's more like 4 seconds.

Controls.
Driver's Seat
WASD: Drive and steer.
L/Headlights: Headlights.
K/Hazard lights: Blackout lights.

Gunner's Seat (manning the machine gun)
Up/Down arrows: Main gun elevation.
Left/Right arrows: Main gun horsiontal traverse.
Fire action 1/Num 1: Fire gun.
Alt + arrow keys or Mouse: Control machine gun.
Alt + Fire action 1/Num 1: Fire machine gun.

Camera 1: Main gun sight.
Camera 2: Machine gun sight.

Driver's sight hatch, fold-down armour, rear ammunition storage and engine hatches are all opened with corresponding buttons.
Spade and axe can be removed by activating the detonators.

NOTE!
The real thing had up to 7 crew, but since Bob is a thicc boi and the three extra crew were basically extra loaders/gunners I kept the crew to the minimum.
Also since the guns in the game are so huge I had to freestyle the whole gun carriage and some minor clipping may occur with the gun at its most extreme angles.

Feel free to edit, but if you reupload publically in any way please acknowledge the original creation and creator.

Have fun!

Oh phew!!!! Haha glad it finally works ok. :)
Lesson learned - sensors that are only affected by other sensors can still be interfered with from driver's seat if they are not set to have the correct custom seat even though the driver's seat has no input to them. Weird, but now I know.

ok now it working

Ok I've now set all the pertinent switches and sensors to the gunner's seat being the Custom seat, if that doesn't help I have no idea what to do. I'm afraid. The driver's seat is not involved in any way in the Switches and sensors so I have no idea how that can interfer.

Then I don't know. I can only test with a dummy in the driver's seat and for me that works now but didn't before I tried to fix it.
How on earth do you give main gun controls to the driver?!?!
