Have to admit to a Rotorhead like myself, it doesn’t matter which turns up first. I’m buying them all anyway, I’ll be a fool to even deny that. But if I had to give an opinion, then I would guess we will likely see the Hind first, purely and simply by the fact it’s an in-house module, so it will have been able to take advantage of the Multicrew code while it was being developed for the Huey, I would guess 3rd party’s would only get access to the code once they know it works fine and has been shown to us all. Listening to Cosmo I get the impression the Kiowa is coming along, but there’s still some way to get it right for release. So maybe June/July if we are lucky. ( that’s a complete guess on my part by the way and at no point has those times ever been suggested anywhere ) The Apache, honestly I’m not expecting that till 2022 at the earliest. Anything sooner than that will be a huge bonus.

Go into mission editor, on the Huey you want to use, click far right button on bottom that gives you the extras like exhaust suppressor, there you will see a tab for. Pilot in command, just select anyone rather than right or left seat. that will allow you to just hand over control whenever you want. you both need to obviously program in a take over control button, mines Side mouse button, and then as soon as anyone presses that button they are flying the aircraft. the asking and confirming who has control is just RP and good practice so people don’t get confused

Wow now that is fast work. Thankyou for listening to us.

So my first impressions after my first flight today in Multicrew and in VR of course. what can I say, after all these years of waiting but WOW, working together as a crew is truly a different experience, seeing your mate flick switches or have them monitoring the airspeed and altimeter while you’re landing in a confined space, while also at the same time having a mate in the back, counting you down and confirming the tail is clear or needs to come right or left is just a dream come true. Plus it’s the smaller things, like once you set up the pilot in command to all crew, so all they have to do is click a button to fly and the pilot doesn’t get a menu popping up. Really is immersive. Flying along copilot asks you if he can fly, state you have command, he answers I have command and bang he’s flying, no menus, no pop ups just a smooth transition really makes it feel like you’re in the same aircraft. Likewise my daughter came to say goodnight while I was flying, or another time my frame rate plummeted because Oculus did a update halfway through the flight, I just called you have command, and my copilot took over. Now it wasn’t all smooth sailing, BUT I’m hoping the Multicrew is important enough to Ed for them to be following any threads like this, that they will pick up on these issues and hopefully fix them. To be fair there was only a FEW glaring issues that I found or didn’t like with the Multicrew and it may be a VR issue alone in Multicrew, and that is the way the head movement isn’t independent of the door gunners weapons. Which means the gun seems to be fixed to your nose and you can only control it by moving your head. It was horrible and induced VR sickness in both myself and my mate, to the degree where he had to stop flying for a bit. The head position was better when we swapped out the M60 for the mini gun, but just having a way to select mouse control for the gun only would solve that issue. Likewise looking left and right to aim the gun lead to your head in VR pass through the seating on the right or come outside the aircraft all together, as it moves around on the axis of the rear grip of the gun rather than the realistic position of the crew member. While you do have to be able to lean outside the aircraft while in the back, to be able to watch the skids or tail in confined landing situations or the sling load, it should really be completely independent of the weapon. NOW if Ed fixed that, Multicrew would be downright perfect, it’s almost there, it is amazing, and adds so so much to helo ops, but just needs a little tweaking still.

Just come here to post these very requests. I hope they pick up on them. VR in Multicrew is amazing but the gunner controls leave a lot to be desired. Let us look around independently from the gun in VR, so we can assist our pilots with sling loads, confined landings etc.

Hi guys, is there anyway I can turn off the Weapon in the gunners seat following my head movement while using a VR headset. I would like to be able to look about and ONLY move the gun with the mouse or joystick. The weapon appears connected to my nose, and is rather disconcerting.

True it was, BUT look at the state of the viper on release. It was rushed out far to early. personally I say let’s give them the time, no moaning, no pestering, no calls for release now when they show it off in vids. Let’s just sit back and wait, I have to agree I do expect 2 years ish myself. but so long as it’s done right, I don’t care.

Day one purchase. NOW we have multi crew working in helos, that’s one big step already taken. Apache And Kiowa in DCS, pink teams are a go. I AM THE GREATEST

So has anyone tried it yet, I’m still downloading the patch. does it work? is it any good? is it all we have dreamed it would be? im sure the answers are all positive, but come on guys, this wait is killing me.

might have something to do that only steam users have the latest patch, the rest of the community is still waiting, so the open beta server is working on 2 versions at mo, so i guess might be getting rather confused. i would write off today and hopefully all will be sorted tomorrow

hi guys, got and issue with my open beta installer. its asking me to update to version 2.5.6.58125 and shows my current version as 2.5.6.52437 The thing is my open beta is fully updated and shows 2.5.6.58125 in the main screen. I've tried to repair open beta with no success. Any ideas?

Not by choice, it’s called being married with a small child. Sadly the restrictions have been placed on me by the higher power. ( my wife )

Hi there, appreciate you don’t give out times for the patch so to speak as it’s completely fluid, however IF I had only an hr to fly, at 8pm GMT, is it worth me sliding the flight till tomorrow at least. got to plan my flights carefully so not to waste the hr I get per week.

OMG, I know we were promised Multicrew, and have been waiting for a long time, BUT to get a FULL crew experience is more than I could ever dream off. I was convinced we would only get the front seats. a massive Thankyou guys and girls. This is gonna be a dream come true. can’t wait to operate as a full crew

Hi guys, strange question for a flight sim forum i know, BUT has anyone found a better massage app that works with this jetseat other than the one that it comes with. Basically i want to use the massage function while playing other games but WITHOUT any music playing in background. Sadly the current software plays sounds while its doing the massage thing. My backs playing up with the change to cold weather, so just wondering if the massage function would help.

Cheers mate, not touched SS in OTT, will try reducing the resolution to your settings and have another go.

Hi guys, just setting up my quest 2, now I have V23. Set everything shown above but one quick question, is what render resolution do you guys set the quest 2 in the oculus software? at mo I’ve set it to Max right, and it’s a tad clunky to say the least. What would be a good settings for nice clear visuals but with a usable FPS?

There is only one response for an update like this..... WOW you guys have really outdone yourselves, what a stunning update that’s heading our way, while I appreciate the B is the more modern Cat, there is something about the A that it just cry’s out to fly. I’ve read some many books and story’s about the A model, I can’t wait to try it myself. Only one slight issue is I don’t know how to fly the cat at all, BUT I will be starting my training tonight. Honestly cannot wait. Just mindblowing.

Well after looking for solutions on how to store and to be honest display my various aircraft handles, I’m very pleased with the present my father in law made me. Looks great, displays them nice and tastefully and stops my wife complaining that they are just lying around on the desk. :D

Ahhhh I was just popping onto the forums to try and find some upto date reviews on this product, as I was rather tempted. However I was aware that there were a few issues with the pre production units sent out, hence why we never got proper reviews. Sadly however IF they truly are not CE certified then that rules them out, regardless of the reviews out there. Bugger.

How is it, I’ve never heard of this before? I’ve literally just stumbled across this device after watching a YouTube vid on how the USAF have used DCS and VR to extend their pilot training and was curious about what the device on their fingers was. Must admit it looks stunning, and if it’s good enough for the USAF, well I think it’s gonna be good enough for my little setup. just requested to be put on the waiting list for V2, and will look forward to my number being called. very impressed by what I’ve seen on the vids so far.

Nice find Thankyou, will test that out tomorrow.

I have had a quick flight in it this afternoon. If I’m honest I can’t see any real difference in visual quality to my Rift S I’ve been using. Which is disappointing. Thinking it’s my settings though, as other programs and movies in particular are night and day, so so much clearer. Will be testing it again later tonight.

And it will still be fun with the realism which is the whole point of using a simulator is it not. Granted we all got used to the wrong way of doing things, which have now been fixed quite rightly. It won’t take long to learn and get used to the new way or right way of working with the sensors. Why should the rest of us have to put up with a unrealistic simulation of the A10, just because you can’t spend a few hours to learn the new controls. I’ve been flying the A10 since day one, and it took a whole hr to get used to the new way of doing things.

Damn, impressed you can use miles to pay as well as the huge discount for previous owners. £4 is an absolute steal.
