Multicrew ?

[metzger]

As we have UH1 multicrew working very nice, considering it was not meant to be released yet, can we expect to see MC for the Kiowa ? This is really the buy/no buy difference for me personally.

 

Thanks.

Its been said a multitude of times already, that they do not plan on adding multi-crew to the Kiowa.

As it is right now, the Kiowa does not feature multicrew but as we've stated before on multiple media platforms, we're awaiting the results on the UH-1 multicrew functionality and whether this function will be part of the SDK as an API, or is at least accessible to 3rd party developers in some way. If that is the case there is a good chance we will implement the feature. As of right now it is uncertain such an API will be available though. We'll have to wait and see.

I'll buy your chopper Polychop, multicrew or not!!

Hear, hear!

You call that “working very nice”? It’s good that they’re working on it, but it’s got a ways to go.

I said "considering it was not meant to be released" so this is a state which we should not even see it. Taking this into consideration - yes it works very well a.k.a looks very promising. Of course there are issues.

Thanks for the answer. Yes I remember reading that you are waiting to see how MC for the UH1 will go (or something in that sense) and so is why I have opened the thread.

Fingers crossed Kiowa and hope ED will provide you access :thumbup:

[cordite]

Until ED have it officially released, it might be good to temper your expectations.

[Volator]

Now that ED has released multicrew for the UH-1, it would be great to have multicrew capability with the Kiowa at release as well.

[Hook47]

ED knocked it out of the park. In all honesty they surpassed Heatblur in their implementation, and proved a lot of the skeptics wrong with how a shared cockpit can be handled...  That is saying a lot because HB paved the way on solid multicrew. I certainly hope this means Polychop will implement this in the Kiowa and fix that long borked Gazelle multicrew. Sort of a big deal for me as far as buying the Kiowa goes, I can't envision me having much time for a single crew bird when there are a few great multicrew offerings in the Huey and Hind. I get too much joy out of flying multicrew with friends.

Multicrew is a make it or break it feature for me. A multicrew Kiowa is the upcoming module I'm most excited about. A non-multicrew Kiowa would be the only helicopter module I didn't buy, given I bought the gazelle when it 'had milticrew.'

Same for me. I bought two copies of gazelle... please multicrew for kiowa

[River]

Same, only buy it if there is Multicrew. The Hind and Apache set the bar, its awesome in MC.

@Polychop SimulationsI noticed a comment on Barundus' latest video on the Kiowa that I found interesting:

That's a fairly substantial change from the last official statements on the matter.  Did ED change the SDK to make MC easier to implement for you?  And does this mean the MC aspect of the Gazelle may also finally be fixed so it works?

Good info! Nice found.

I want this so bad, Have not had a proper Kiowa since Janes longbow 2 and EECH- mod and the EECH version is pretty nice (proper zoomable 3d cockpit) but its nowhere as nice as this module is going to be.

Really need AI copilot, only about 10h in Gazelle now, but hi threat enviroment badly need extra crew member, even spotting targets/threats outside pilot view with optical sensor would be good.
