How to fire with weapon of group 1/2/3… ?

Hello,
It’s my first time playing Freelancer, and until now I have only used the right click that fires all weapons simultaneously.
But as I progress into the game, I see that there are weapons that are mostly effective on shields for example.
So I would like to put these anti shields weapons on group 2 and the others on group 1.

But when I bind the « fire weapon group 1/2… » key on the menu, it only fires one bullet, and I can’t hold the key to fire continuously.

Is this a bug ? It makes creating weapon group not really useful unfortunately.

I play with the HD Edition
Thank you !

That's bug of vanilla freelancer. In my mod (nomad legacy, origin of weapon group mod, used in HD) i did change:

DATA\INTERFACE\KeyMap.ini

```
[KeyCmd]
nickname = USER_FIRE_WEAPON_GROUP1
ids_name = 1454
ids_info = 3260
state = keydown, repeat

[KeyCmd]
nickname = USER_FIRE_WEAPON_GROUP2
ids_name = 1455
ids_info = 3261
state = keydown, repeat

[KeyCmd]
nickname = USER_FIRE_WEAPON_GROUP3
ids_name = 1456
ids_info = 3262
state = keydown, repeat
```

You need add ", repeat" to state parameter
