Dangerzone Posted December 26, 2020 Posted December 26, 2020 Hi, Absolutely love the new multicrew that's been released with the last Stable. Just a couple of questions: 1) I notice that when flying solo I can no longer switch to the copilot seat (or to any other seats) anymore. Is there a way that I can fly from the right hand side please? 2) How can I give flying control to the co-pilot when a co-pilot joins so I can take a break on longer flights from flying? One again - thanks so much - multicrew is fantastic!
Guile Posted December 26, 2020 Posted December 26, 2020 Hello, yeah multicrew is awesome! 1) depends on how the aircraft was set up in the mission editor. It could be set as "solo flight", so when a player jumps in the aircraft, it is allowed to switch crew stations. If not, then the pilot (right seat) will have to stay there. 2) flight control transfer is done with the "C" key, or whatever you have bound to "Request Aircraft Control" in your control options. The request/relinquish also varies a bit depending on how the "aircraft control priority" was set up in mission editor. 1 ▀▄▀▄▀▄ DCS: Air Assault Operations ▄▀▄▀▄▀ Join the fight! YouTube Channel
Dangerzone Posted December 26, 2020 Author Posted December 26, 2020 Thanks Guile. I'll give the 'C' key a go. As for the other - I wonder if I can get away with choosing slot #2 (right hand pilot) so I can use the sights and fly at the same time as a workaround. (I just have times where the copilot won't 'see' a target right in front of me and find it safer and quicker to switch seats and do their work for myself).
ED Team MatveyTsivinyuk Posted December 28, 2020 ED Team Posted December 28, 2020 Hi. It's not possible to abandon the commander seat in multicrew and I doubt it will be. "Solo flight" doesn't work like this, it's like flying an aircraft without any other people in it. Maybe we'll make a "disable multicrew" option next year.

True, but it's been my work-around when the AI Copilot sits there and plays chicken or "who's going to fire first" with the unit I want it to shoot right in front of us instead of hitting the guns. In those cases, I tend to switch to the left hand seat as a work-around and simultaneously fly and shoot the cannon myself. (I wouldn't mind taking off on the LH seat either and flying from the left if this was a workaround solution - but I think from my tests that the first pilot must occupy the right hand seat)? Thanks for considering my question! Either way - multi crew is absolutely EPIC and very muchly appreciated! Edited December 29, 2020 by Dangerzone
