Huey gunners not there?

[vracan]

I recently bought huey heli with normandy dcs 2.2 but I cannot find a way to have door gunners/guns visible. How do I get them to appear?

 

also, only "fast mission" is available for the huey in 2.2.

Door gunners need to be added as a weapon. Do it in mission editor. Read about it in the DCS manual.

 

DCS 2 is still beta. Basically no official missions for any modules, except a few training ones, nothing for the Huey I'm afraid. Install 1.5 to gett official missions or download community made ones for DCS 2.

I see. By the way I meant only "fast missions" are available as there are no "instant action" available missions (I edited original post).

I do not have enough hd space nor time/bandwidth to download another 30GB for version 1.5. I wish it were more clear on the dcs website when I bought the huey module that it does'nt really support 2.2.

Anyhow, I guess I'm stuck for what I have for now.

 

So are you saying I can at least add guns/weapons thru mission editor then?

It's actually fully supported in 2.2, but since 2.2 is beta I guess it's to much of a risk to create official missions in it at the moment. But it's supposed to go official 2.5 in about a month from now with the new Caucasus map and hopefully all missions belonging to it.

And yes, you can add everything in the mission editor, also create your own missions if you don't want to download from the community.

 

By the way, a lot of content of 1.5 and 2.2 are the same so it's not a full download required, the installer simply copy everything that is identical from your 2.2 installation. But if you don't have the hd space this doesn't really help.

I read over the mission editor manual and tried to add weapons by adding helicopter group. I found the weapon loadout options but none show door gunners, only ext guns and missiles. Still I would be happy for now with that at least I get to do more than just fly around.

However,

after I press fly mission in the editor , it brings me to the game and can see the loaded external guns, but I have no control of the heli. I beleive it's jsut allied bot heli. How do I set the loadout in MY heli?

When you have added a helicopter group, make sure it has "player" assigned to it in what I believe is called "skill level" (bad memory and not at my computer).

To add a new loadout: hit "new", bottom left

To add/change weapons: right click corresponding column on loadout row. Column numbers corresponding to numbers on top image

go to rearm refuel, add doorgunners, and choose either 3 or 4 (keyboard command) to change to the gunner position!

It should be noted that you can only add gunners to the Huey if it is a gunship. In the Mission Editor there is a checkbox saying 'Enable external hardpoints'. If that is not checked there is no place to mount the weapons to.

Not sure how much you've really read the mission editor manual, you can do everything in it. Play around in it, a lot of the stuff is self explanatory. You can add any weapon you want (available for the platform). You can add AI units, you can add enemies. You can configure the weather. Triggers, scripts, ect.

 

Add a new helicopter group, pick a group name, pick the aircraft from the list and pick their role. On skill, you put it for player (SP) and Client (MP). Down in the box you can add waypoints and modify them. The next tab is the payload one. If you don't like any of the existing payloads, you can create your own, by clicking "New" on the bottom left and so on. A lot of your questions can be asked by searching in google. A lot of video and threads about the mission editor
