vracan Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) 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. Edited December 29, 2017 by vracan
Holton181 Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 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.

vracan Posted December 29, 2017 Author Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) 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? Edited December 29, 2017 by vracan
Holton181 Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 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. Helicopters and Viggen DCS 1.5.7 and OpenBeta Win7 Pro 64bit i7-3820 3.60GHz P9X79 Pro 32GB GTX 670 2GB VG278H + a Dell PFT Lynx TrackIR 5
vracan Posted December 29, 2017 Author Posted December 29, 2017 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?
Holton181 Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 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). http://simhq.com/forum/files/usergals/2014/01/full-11236-73295-launcher_2014_01_31_19_28_02_52.png To add a new loadout: hit "new", bottom left To add/change weapons: right click corresponding column on loadout row.

hannibal Posted December 30, 2017 Posted December 30, 2017 go to rearm refuel, add doorgunners, and choose either 3 or 4 (keyboard command) to change to the gunner position! find me on steam! username: Hannibal_A101A http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197969447179
Kang Posted December 30, 2017 Posted December 30, 2017 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.

Shadow KT Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 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 'Shadow' Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days
