ViXaAGe Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 With the Gazelle multi-crew now out, and with the Mi-8 being the beast that it is, I would love for the Magnificent 8 to get the multi-crew it desperately needs. How many times has this been shot down as on now?
gospadin Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 It hasn't been shot down, to my knowledge. I believe BST is investigating. It was definitely not committed though. We *are* getting door gunners though: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2847337&postcount=22 My liveries, mods, and missions for DCS:World M-2000C English Cockpit | Extra Beacons Mod | Nav Kneeboard | Community A-4E
Slazi Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 I thought multicrew was alway their intention once ED had gotten it finalized. It will come.
Cibit Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 I have supported Belsimtek since they first announced themselves. I have defended them against some pretty bad criticism and bought most of there modules. I love the huey and hip but I would love some clarification regarding multi crew. Polychops has raised the bar and the multicrew is going to attract lots of pilots to the gazelle over the other choppers in the wonderful world of MP. Please give us your answer. If it is incompatible with older code and can't be easily achieved for your choppers then fine we can live with it. If it can be done it would be great to know and look forward to it.

gospadin Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 with regards, what is the purpose of getting multicrew with mi-8? Side gunner will be player controllable. At that point, multicrew would make sense. To simulate longer missions, having a human navigator and radio operator in the right seat wouldn't be a bad idea either.

NeilWillis Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 Are you volunteering for the boring roles then gospadin? Which do you prefer, the tedium of navigation, or the constant squelch of the radios? I can absolutely see the need for door gunners, and maybe a pilot/co-pilot combo, but surely no one would want to sit in the middle seat? I too would love to know what the future plans are regarding multi-crew.
ebabil Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 ok door gunner makes sense. but navigator not for me. sometimes even while pilotting the heli i get bored. but how about realistic cargo operations? second man would be good too but again, rest of the trip he gets bored for sure.

NeilWillis Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 I guess we could just look for some books about the Mi-8 in action to read while we wait with baited breath to push a button, or twiddle a knob?
Cibit Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 Boy there are some negative vibes here. Neilwillis just because you don't want to be in the middle seat is pretty irrelevant. Some people do it is a diverse community we have and the people who take helicopters seriously would enjoy fulfilling a different role in a mp environment. It would be a good seat for IP's giving lessons etc and it is an important seat for using the sas channels radios start up etc 2 i5 8600k@5.2Ghz, Asus Prime A Z370, 32Gb DDR4 3000, GTX1080 SC, Oculus Rift CV1, Modded TM Warthog Modded X52 Collective, Jetseat, W10 Pro 64 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Adding JTAC Guide //My Vid's//229th AHB
Rogue Trooper Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) Multicrew would be good and the newer missions that would follow on from its release would allow for a more even distribution of pilot & co-pilot work load. Co-pilot would cargo, then navigate to and through the battle field and then run betwixt gun positions during the hot LZ ingress. Indeed, looking at the long strong survival of the civilian sim market over the last 25 - 30 years, I think there is a very strong market for people who prefer to fly than fight. DCS has room for every one.

Looney Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 There's ample work for another crew member aboard the Mi-8, regardless of normal flying or moving into a cmbat enviroment. Navigating and spotting comes to mind as well as doing the radio calls and fuel planning.

Unfortunately we get these comments in every other dev forum. Multicrew is an enriching experience in Mi8 and Huey.
Domcho Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 I, personally, would love to play as a navigator. Also being/having someone in the middle giving lessons to new people who bought the model would be a lot of fun as well. 1
Rogue Trooper Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 further, once a true combat arena is established.... fighting MoFo's will value logistics boys to a far greater degree.... just like real life.

It would be a good seat for IP's giving lessons etc and it is an important seat for using the sas channels radios start up etc I totally agree with this. Flying the Mi-8, navigating, managing the weapons, fuel, tuning radios and becons, spotting targets, searching for air threats... Then we have real life things going on, too. I might need to speak to the wife, answer a phone call. There are far too many things for one person to do in an Mi-8. The only exception to this is a pre-made mission that you are playing again and again with all the units in the same place. Multicrew is essential for the Mi-8. Keep the negative attitudes for the playground, please. We're all here to have fun, not to feel insulted about our tastes.
Angelthunder Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 I can't wait to see what Belsimtek will do to their two helos when we do get multi-crew.But i also want to see AI infantry and special forces carried aboard the helicopter too.With drop off animations as well as picking them up from the battlefield.That would be cool to see along with the other roles that the Hip & Huey can do like rescuing downed pilots or picking up wounded soldiers.
Slazi Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 But i also want to see AI infantry and special forces carried aboard the helicopter too. Yup!

Yurgon Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 (edited) I seem to recall that it was listed as a planned feature for both Huey and Hip. The product pages in the E-Shop don't currently show this feature for either helicopter. Or is it still shown on another page? Like many others have said, multiplayer cockpit would be an incredibly helpful addition to both modules, both from a fun perspective and from a training perspective for new pilots. I'm not saying I wouldn't have gotten these modules without the prospect of MP shared cockpit, but removing such an important feature from the feature list without so much as a single comment, that's far from ideal. Of course I'm still hoping there's just a bit of a delay and MP cockpit is still coming for both of them. :thumbup: Edit: The detail pages of both modules (not in the E-Shop) still include the item "Multiplayer coop mode for crew members of the same helicopter under development for a later update", so it seems this wasn't silently discarded. Edited December 3, 2016 by Yurgon
Phantom453 Posted December 3, 2016 Posted December 3, 2016 I really hope they still intend to include multi-crew at some stage, perhaps once ED have the capability fully developed and stable in DCSW?
