When your bored of that you just select the next place you want to be and exist the flack gun. You have now just disabled the Flack Gun.

How to Fix:
With the KEYBOARD key (not mouse gui) select the flack gun thats now not working when AC are engaged or if you realise you have done the above. These keys are "T", "G" an "F" IIRC. Ok your now back at the gun thats not working, if under attack, turn Gun in the general direction of enemy, fire a short burts, (Now the important bit) EXIT TO BRIDGE ONLY. Flack gun now turned back on. If your not under attack, its pretty much the same deal. Select the guns via the Keys. When "T" key used, line Gun up to stern - EXIT TO BRIDGE ONLY. When "G" key used, line Gun up to stern - EXIT TO BRIDGE ONLY. When "F" key used, line Gun up to stern - EXIT TO BRIDGE ONLY. Do NOT cycle through the flack guns and then exit, it wont fix the bug, you must do 1 flack gun at a time.

PS: You dont need to lay the guns aft, thats just my normal "must keep boat ship shape" mind at work.
THANK YOU Cmdr Gibs. That's exactly what I was looking for. Much appreciated.
