Default Opening All Torpedo Doors

In cfg/commands i deleted [cmd309] and [cmd312]. I also removed line(;Key0=0x57, , "w") from [cmd323] it is possible to have several or all torpedo doors open at the same time.
Using the "q" and "y" commands open Tube 1 wait for Weapons Officer to confirm then cycle to the next tube and repeat. Then cycle back to Tube 1, tubes 1and 2
should be both open. You can have all doors open using this.

Just for clarification, salvo firing still means cycling through the tubes and firing individually, right? Either way, this will greatly improve efficiency. Thanks.

Ok, it works great. Now How do you close the doors again if you decide not to use the tube? When I press 'Q' again it just tells me it's opening the already open tube. If it closes on it's own after a period of time I'm not so bothered but it would be nice to do.

Removing those commands allows you to get them all to open?? What exactly are the new modded commands to cycle through your tubes?

I was obviously doing the hard way.:hmm: Best I had was a Dual Salvo.

That . is . just . odd! But a good find for you! Please give us details and what you are using. :p

Wow good find! I was extremely sick of spending upwards of 30 seconds to launch a spread of torpedoes.
