Doorgunner is the eyes and ears Escort : Doorgun mark positions with smoke, supress enemy positions Convoy : Survey convoy area

sound problem still occuring as of DCS version DCS 2.9.6.58056 audio bug still persists, the gunner will hear the correct minigun sound effects when shooting, but pilot hears cannon like rounds when the gunner is using minigun

@swatstar98 happy to report that the ctd no long occurs, i have DCS version DCS 2.9.6.58056 and can successfully allow multicrew gunner request and there is no crash for the pilot. thank you polychop team! (hoping the joystick binded axis assignments for minigun slew range will be increased / fix in near future!)

did some further testing and flying seems like gunner is effective at 1000 ft at 60-80 knots being able to shoot at targets 600-1000 meters and at 2000 ft at 110 knots being able to shoot targets at 900 - 2500 meters with the pilot trimmed to hold the speed steady..

that was it. wow.. im sorry to have wasted your time, i have like 10 controllers connected to my PC.. so i guess once in a while i mis-assign button functions... thank you @Flappie that was driving me nuts!

at first i wasnt trying to get yet another dcs aircraft. but after doing a huey cargo mission to build patriot SAM batteries on pre-contact server, it was fun i ended up pre ordering because: 1) helo with digital nav.. at least from all the crazy MFD's, more helos that can program in waypoints, i am for it 2) build farps 3) I WANA BE A RAMP DOORGUNNER.. my DIY doorgun joystick controller needs CH47 and M3M .50cal.. CANT WAIT!

this is not new.. all i can do is test and report.

we need more ppl to say something! it just takes patience and keep bringing up issue everytime patch comes out. for planes that do not have moving maps or MFDs, the NS430 is helpful its a product, that i would like to use but just wish this could be fix sometime soon.

Tested in single player and on multiplayer as a solo player controlled aircraft. I have an issue where I have to man the controls as co-pilot gunner after switching to copilot gunner. And I can not operate the aiming station for the guided missile.. Previous to the patch, petrovich would fly the hind when I move to the copilot gunner position.

i am still reporting this problem as of DCS version DCS 2.9.6.57650 in Multiplayer and VR (i tried the Hoggit training server) when i would go to F10 map, i am zoomed in.. and scroll out to zoom out... once i jump into F1 cockpit view, and then go back to F10 map, i am once again zoomed in, and go through the trouble of zooming out AGAIN i do not have this problem on desktop screen mode.. only VR can u take a look @Flappie TNN_release-2.0.84-20240722-212935.trk

i have the same problem. i go to the instant action mission, i select a role, but i DO NOT load into an aircraft... just a spectator view. i confirm @GregP problem as well @Flappie

looks like marking target area with smoke helps also.. found this short snippet on doorgunnery.. but general http://www.118ahc.org/chapter vi.htm

im starting a thread on the topic of helo operations with a human doorgunner. seems like there is not much info on how two operate as a crew, pilot and doorgunner i am looking for tips on how to fly to targets, how to fly in and coordinate with doorgunner to effectively employ the doorgun if anyone has suggestions please share! at this time i see that flying in on a target at 1000 ft at 70 knots was doable for my human doorgunner.. but will continue to figure out best distance.. pilot was using trim minigun / M60 effective at 1000 meters.. kord 12.7..effective at 2000 meters.

DIY built collective and virpril mongoose also vbk t-rudder pedals.. working great together

i been asking here in the forums to have the NS430 locked down at a fixed point in space. (like kneeboard or show controls indicator or FPS counter) i totally agree that the NS430 staying in front of your face is quite useless in VR. @Flappie can we check in with the Dev's about this again?

DCS version 2.9.6.57650 and the NS430 still unusable in VR due to NS430 constantly floating in front of face.. please lock it to a fixed position in space like a kneeboard.. many of us do not fly with VR controllers

running dcs DCS 2.9.6.57650 my keybind for night vision goggles on/off only set for Pilot... (copilot binding was NOT assigned to anything) in a multicrew session, jumping on to a HOT start SA342M for a night mission with BSD instructor copilot joining my gazelle.. when i (as pilot) enable my night vision, it also enables night vision goggles for the copilot AND VICE VERSA. it was annoying, but we would could out to each other on comms on when were were going to enable / diable night vision goggles..

running dcs DCS 2.9.6.57650 in a multicrew session, jumping on to a HOT start SA342M with BSD instructor pilot, before taking off, we set a polar way point with no problems. i had a BSD instructor pilot bring me to a target location and with in 4000 meters i proceeded to set the gazelle SA342M to a auto hover (CSV engaged) i was instructed to put in a polar waypoint (pressing POL-> number '0' -> number '2' (for waypoint #2) then ENT, but it didnt allow me to do anything we had to abandon this function and was unable to add or edit waypoints,

Just wanted to report...thanks!

I'm getting errors for the new FC2024 aircraft...simshaker put alot of errors when I was trying out the F5E flaming cliffs...

After reverting back to non public test channel on oculus link software, dcs works again

ok awesome.. thank you @Flappie!

Someone on reddit suspects it's the oculus software in PTC. Have to check when I get home
