DrummerNL Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Taking a break from flying the F-18 a friend and I booted up the good old Gazelle in multicrew. I was hosting and acting as pilot, friend was acting as mission commander / weapons officer. We noticed, even though all keybindings were correct and the "second stick" option was off, he could only slew the camera up and down, not left to right. Everything seemed to work fine for him in singleplayer though. Anyone else noticed this what I presume is a bug? Another thing I noticed was on the minigun version. I was flying, friend was behind the gun. He could move the gun but even though master arm was on, he could not fire.
Sanbato Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 today, the copilot can no longer drive in multi crew. it was deliberately deleted by polychop, because of latency problems. It's not a bug, it's the new configuration. the copilot will be in charge of navigation (nadir, ADF ...), radio and armament (gazelle M). the pilot will be in charge of the piloting only. for the problem in the minigun, too much information is missing to answer ^^
DrummerNL Posted July 9, 2018 Author Posted July 9, 2018 Thanks for your reply Sanbato but I'm not talking about the co-pilot taking control of the helicopter but the Viviane camera system. In multicrew the co-pilot can no longer slew the targeting camera left and right, only up and down. This is in the M version and with the latest version of the open beta.
Hook47 Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 Looks like our virtual squadron has confirmed this bug in the SA342M in multiplayer. The bug seems to lie between how the TV Command box axis inputs are coming in for the co pilot gunner. In single player, the slew commands are correct, but in multicrew, the co pilot gunner is getting only up/down or left/right slew.
elcoo Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 Any news or maybe a workaround for this issue? We tried out multicrew today after a little break from the Gazelle and couldn't get the TV Slewing to work correctly as well.

I was flying, friend was behind the gun. He could move the gun but even though master arm was on, he could not fire. I am having this issue as well. Just tried the M version, with my wife as co-pilot/weapons officer. She could not use the keyboard commands to slew the camera at all. She also tried to use the joystick (bound to the camera slew) and found that left and right slew moved the camera up and down while the up and down did very little. At no time could she command the camera left or right., It is impossible for her to target with the HOT missile with this bug. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
zcrazyx Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 I just seem to notice an issue of where we both boot up in a fresh gazelle, he'll start up but for me the engine wont spool however we can fly.
epoch Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 Successive updates have degraded this module from what was a fun and rewarding multiplayer experience to one that's mostly disappointing. Hopefully the developers will resolve it, because it truly was one of the standout features in DCS multiplayer. Immense rewarding fun when it works. Frustrating and disappointing when it doesn't.
lionmagunas Posted September 7, 2018 Posted September 7, 2018 Same here today on sa-342m The Vivian worked just fine on single player But we can't slew it on multicrew It rly frustrated after we brought two copy of gazelle just for multicrew And it's looks like it happened for few months... Still no response from DEV team...?

Still no response from DEV team...? Nope, I'm not sure why. I have the understanding that they don't have time to be on the forums all day every day, but this thread is getting older without a response on a nasty issue that did work ok at one point. The multiplayer improvements to performance were groundbreaking, but without the HOT and a weapon officer that can shoot, what's the point? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
zcrazyx Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 I straight up cant turn it on most of the time in multicrew and i have a weird thing where the engine wont be on but the heli will be flying.
Pat01 Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 Hi Gents and Ladies, We checked multicrew issues and confirm the following : Currently, the Gazelle sighting camera is almost unusable in multicrew mode due to all sorts of issues, keys not responsing in time (two much delay), and camera moving erratically. We are looking at these issues but it will take some time to get rid of them. Thanks for your patience.
DrummerNL Posted September 9, 2018 Author Posted September 9, 2018 Thanks for confirming the issue Pat01, I'm glad you guys are looking into it. Multicrew with the Gazelle is one of the best experiences in DCS! Looking forward to be able to play it again!
-Painter- Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 Thanks for working on this issue! Multicrew in the M is a great experience and it is to bad that is broken at the moment. Regards REAPER 31 | Painter [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Please go to devs in P3d and ask how to do multicrew then. majestic has pretty much perfected it
swatstar98 Posted November 14, 2018 Posted November 14, 2018 Please go to devs in P3d and ask how to do multicrew then. majestic has pretty much perfected it Is more about the ED code than the implementation of it by Polychop. We will have to wait until they have UH1H multicrew ready and let the 3rd party solve their problems. Chinook lover - Rober -
VooDoo-S8 Posted November 17, 2018 Posted November 17, 2018 Any update regarding a fix for this and can anyone confirm that the Nadir is only functional for the co pilot at the moment?

swatstar98 Posted November 17, 2018 Posted November 17, 2018 Any update regarding a fix for this and can anyone confirm that the Nadir is only functional for the co pilot at the moment? A mixed cockpit is impossible right now due to ED code. So they splitted the cockpit into 2, giving a part for copilot and another to the pilot. But this is in multicrew, if you fly alone you can move it from the pilot side. Cheers! Chinook lover - Rober -
PitbullVicious Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) Me and mate tried themulti-crew (open beta version) on the Persian Gulf Blue Flag server on Saturday and were surprised to find the Vivianne slaving and lasing working on the M-model. Wonder if something was fixed by ED in one of the recent patches... or if the stars were just aligned right. We did have problems with the Nadir system in multi-crew, though (it didn't seem to finish the alignment properly).

swatstar98 Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 Okay, me and DrummerNL tested the slewing and worked, but the helicopter shutdown bug is still there. So if you are lucky and both have the gazelle working it should be good! Cheers! Chinook lover - Rober -
jeffdude Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 I just experienced the slew bug in multiplayer with me and another player as WSO. The WSO couldn't move the camera around at all. Their controls worked fine in single player. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

rider11 Posted December 26, 2018 Posted December 26, 2018 Anything further Polychop on the WSO (human copilot) fix for slewing? A-10C/C-101/UH-1H/F-15C/L-39/HAWK/Mi-8/A-10A/P-51/AV-8B N/A
buzzard55 Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Anything further Polychop on the WSO (human copilot) fix for slewing? Yeah, hang onto your skirt Rider. After the F-14 release they should be able to re-attack the multicrew.
