From Polychop discord: State of multicrew in the Gazelle Dear Gazelle pilots, For the upcoming update we’ve implemented a completely new multicrew method that will be a huge improvement over the method we’ve been using before. However, I’m writing this to tell you we’ve royally screwed the pooch by prioritizing the release of this feature over proper quality control and testing as well as putting most of our time and assets in to the upcoming OH-58D Kiowa Warrior release. Even though most of the multicrew elements will see a big improvement with this release, with a much more stable and robust functionality, the rotor RPM synchronization in multicrew broke at a point of no return right before the final submission date. This poses an issue only in multicrew, as single player and regular multiplayer are not affected. In multicrew it means that the left seater will not see changes to the rotor RPM, which is especially noticeable in a cold start where the rotors will not start spinning as well as in a hot started aircraft where the rotors will not come to a halt on shut down. There is no way around it, we made a mistake in trying to push this out as soon as possible while we should have taken our time to thoroughly test it instead. We will be working on rectifying this issue as soon as possible and hope to find a way to get this fix out at the first opportunity, whether this will be a hot-fix or planned patch date. With this we offer our sincere apologies, Dan Polychop Simulations
