When ATGM stuff is turned on from the front seat, the R-60M's in the back seat won't work so I think I need to tell my co-pilot to turn everything off really fast before I turn on R-60M for planes or helis.

Thanks, will try it out and wait 3.5 mins before turning on observe!

When you say it takes 3+ mins for the system to warm up, you mean once we turn on the missile power and guidance unit from the co-pilot seat? You're saying if we turn them on after using R-60M's, we should wait 3+ mins before hitting observe?

No it's not that. We waited minutes for it to start moving and it remained caged. We see that there's input with both the mouse and joystick but it's still caged. I'm thinking maybe we have to turn the missile and guidance systems on and then don't hit observe until after like 3 mins for it to warm up? You think that's the problem? If we turn off all the systems and swap to R-60M, fire and then swap back, we get the same problem of not being able to uncage. We just can't move it around. Are you also thinking we have to turn them on and wait minutes before hitting observe so it will let us move the periscope around?

Sometimes I am unable to move the sight around when I did all the steps and turn observe on. It just doesn't let me. Any idea what I'm doing wrong or what I can do to fix it so I can move around the periscope? Does it have something to do with warming something up before I activate observe? I just turned everything on really fast, is there a guide to how you're supposed to do it properly and what steps to take at what times? I heard that you need to let it spool up before the gyros work or something like that. Anyone know how it works? Lastly, when I want to use R-60M, should I turn off everything before my pilot uses the missiles, or is there a proper procedure to swap back and forth? Petrovich seems to be able to do it almost instantly. Thanks.

Let me ask you another question. Sometimes I am unable to move the sight around. It just doesn't let me. Any idea what I'm doing wrong or what I can do to fix it so I can move around the periscope?

I would like to know if this feature is coming still. It's been like over a year and I still can't understand what's being told to me in the Hind.

Anyone know how we can get the missile system to get back up and operational after I experience a vert-gyro failure?

I don't think it's needed imo. Just learn some Russian like I have to distinguish between missile, Igla and rockets and you're good. They do need to fix the Russian lights though up top. That's got to be a glitch.

Maybe Crew-2 can use our new Hind or Ka-50???

I'm VERY happy with it. It added much improved FM changes, Impressive and useful IGLAs for low-flying jets and helicopters, and most importantly a MWS that has saved my ass over 5 times in a single flight.

Who said it's a plane? Might be a helicopter, you never know

Something like this? Doesn't have to be perfect. Would be greatlynull appreciated.

3 months and no response lmao

Hope we get news soon. I understand they prefer to work and not let anyone know what they're doing until they have something ready to show but it would be nice to at least know what's on the menu.

When I press Auto-Hover button, it's bounded and everything however it does not engage. Is there a reason for this? On this server I am playing on, it is snowing heavily and I have anti-ice on for rotors and engine. Besides that idk why Auto-Hover is not working. Anyone know what I can do in the future or if this is a bug? Thanks!

I found the solution. It's Left-Alt + T to unlock Track-IR and to get the buttons to start working.

It's great that I can sit down in the Hind's crew compartment even without the KORD gun, however the height when I am sitting down makes it seem like I'm 3 feet tall. It also clips into the back rest a lot with Track-IR. Would it be possible to fix this, so I am sitting down at a regular soldier's height and I'm not default inside the back-rest? Thanks!

I use Track-IR but I am able to disable (pause) Track-IR with a single button. When I do so, or even if I were to play DCS without Track-IR, mouse buttons 2 and 3 do not work. I am unable to move the camera around to get a proper aim on my target. All I am able to do is move the gun around and fire it, however I can not get proper aim picture. Is this a problem for everyone? Seems like genuine bug to me.

Anyone know how to use KORD gunner properly with and without Track-IR? Mouse buttons 2 and 3 don't seem to work for me.

It turns out I had my pedals binded to the wrong axis for specifically only the co-pilot. That was my issue. Thanks! I still have the question about the KORD gunner though.

I will have to test it out once more and try and look at those channels you're talking about. When I took control of my friend's Hind as the co-pilot, I didn't have any rudder control and the Helicopter swung in the direction of the torque. I looked down and saw I don't have pedals so that must be why but I'm still unsure. You are saying Hind does have pedals as copilot? Is it like a lever you use with hands? I don't understand.

I have a lot of questions about the Hind's copilot. I understand we now have a functional gunsight but I don't understand what the point is when I have no rudder control as the copilot, even if I was given control over the heli. Why does the copilot not have pedals? How is the copilot supposed to fly/emergency land the Hind if he can't control rudder left/right? Am I right to say that the copilot doesn't have rudder control, or is this specific to the mission editor's settings? If the copilot really don't have rudder control, then what's the point of having aircraft control and passing control back and forth between multicrew friends? Is there a functional reason to have the copilot have the gunsight if he can't properly aim the cannon due to no rudder? Lastly, is there a detailed guide on YouTube to explain the role of the copilot in the Hind in DCS? Lastly, is there a tutorial for using the 12.7mm KORD gun with Track-IR and without for either the Hind or Hip? I tried it out with the Hind but it only followed where I was looking. I want to be able to use my mouse and also aim properly by using head movement. How can I do this? Thanks!

He doesn't know what he's talking about. BS2 had an English cockpit. What? Is BS3 supposed to remove that functionality?

Still not fixed. I use the ENG blue cockpit mod from user files on DCS' website and this bug makes it almost impossible to read if I have auto-hover on/off or any other light warning. Hope this gets addressed next update.
