BalticDude Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Why don't we get Petrovich-type AI in the Hip so we won't need to switch between seats and to appease those against current implementation of multicrew? That way we won't need any new technology and can use Mi-24 Petrovich basis but make it specific for Mi-8 such as flare and radio options? Hell, even charge us $15 bucks for the multicrew update and I wouldn't mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven (Elysian Angel) Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 We're about 6 weeks away from the 10 year anniversary for this module, and multicrew was one of the announced features back then even (as coming "on a later date").

randomTOTEN Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 I'm happy to report they absolutely took this concern to heart, and you can swap seats in the Hip still, the same as is currently possible in the Huey. GOOD JOB TEAM. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jubuttib Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Can someone confirm which seats are available? The wording in the release notes makes it sound like we're getting the 3 cockpit seats AND a singular gunner seat, is this accurate? I'm guessing the side gunner with the Kord is at least available, is the rear door PKM/PKP spot usable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3 cockpit seats and the left-side gunner are indeed the available seats (those are the only ones that was playable before the multicrew update, so it makes sense) The rear door gunner is not playable. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cgjunk2 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Super excited that multicrew finally came out! The other day a group of 4 of us were just cruising around, enjoying the view, flipping switches, trading on pilot flying, walking around the rear cargo cabin in VR etc. But I noticed that in VR, whenever I went in the back gunner seat, my position was in the middle of the cabin (next to where the slingload hatch would be). Whereas my buddies on flat screen would get a position next to the front side door. Is this a bug worth reporting, or is it some sort of VR limitation? I guess I don't mind walking over to the side the door if need be lol. Just need to clear the room so I dont fall on my face haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomTOTEN Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Did you try resetting your view? I find I have to reset my view in 2D even with TrackIR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramstein Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 (edited) I could walk in my vr headset in the room and it would move me to the gunner, but I could not touch of move anything in vr. otherwise, I too was stuck in the middle of the cabin too.
