[RESOLVED]UH-1H not usable at all in multiplayer in online?

[Bluemalice]

I've been through everything I can think of trying to figure this out. I've downloaded pre-made missions from other people, run default missions from the game and even made my own from scratch.

 

If there is a Huey in an online/multiplayer match that I host, it flat out just doesn't function. Everything you previously had bound to the Huey controls in single player resets to default and none of the hotkeys even work. You also get all these popups on the screen like a giant orange radar looking thing in the top right of the screen as well as a weird little rectangle box in the bottom of the screen.

 

Unpausing and then hitting the hotkey to close the doors, for example, does nothing. Even re-binding everything is useless.

 

What am I doing wrong? We just want to toss some Hueys into a few multiplayer missions...

 

Thanks for your time,

Wes

hi and welcome to the forum

 

are you using game mode? and not simulation?

Thanks. I am a new user to DCS for the most part so take that as you will.

 

I saw "game" in the keybinds but otherwise, I have no idea what Game Mode is and how to tell if I have it set this way or not. It's weird because every other chopper I place works perfectly fine.

 

How do I check to see if it's in Game Mode and how do I change that?

[BIGNEWY]

ok

 

Game in keybindings refers to the controls for game mode in the settings of dcs, this is a simplified experience.

 

if you are not using game mode in the settings you should map your controls in "sim" otherwise you will not have control

Thanks for the info. I'm pretty sure that's not the issue but I'm going to go and double check all of that and make sure before I say anything else about it.

 

Will respond again shortly.

 

*Edit

That was it exactly... I went into the game options and set it to "simulation" mode for everything and suddenly it works again. It's really weird because it was working in multiplayer before and just changed itself somehow I guess. I never thought to check that because both Game and Simulation keybinds were non-functional at all in multiplayer.

 

Does having it in "game" mode just make the Huey not function at all in multiplayer?

 

Thanks again for the help. This was driving me insane lol...

generally most servers do not allow game mode, simulation mode is enforced.

 

 

and no problem enjoy :)
