DarkStar79 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I dont see the point why we couldnt jump in the helicopter in the gunner position in a multiplayer server? I mean we can fly the helicopter from that position also. The helicopter would be much more fun if we could use the gunner seat in multiplayer! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northstar98 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Personally, you should be able to switch seats in multiplayer, for seats that aren't already occupied by a player - exactly like single lpayer. 1 Modules I own: F-14A/B, Mi-24P, AV-8B N/A, AJS 37, F-5E-3, MiG-21bis, F-16CM, F/A-18C, Supercarrier, Mi-8MTV2, UH-1H, Mirage 2000C, FC3, MiG-15bis, Ka-50, A-10C (+ A-10C II), P-47D, P-51D, C-101, Yak-52, WWII Assets, CA, NS430, Hawk.

Tarres Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 A few days ago by mistake I changed the positions in the Mosquito in MP. I don’t know if it’s something WiP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiki Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Does Mos have multicrew? You can change seats in MP in any aircraft that does not have multicrew, ex Mi-8. Before multicrew you could do the same in Huey, but not anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarres Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) Yes, since day 1 it has multicrew. And we used it in order to be able to do navigation with the TR1154/1155. So it was a shocking surprise when by mistake I was able to change position. Edited January 19, 2022 by Tarres 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacarino111 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Hi. Main problem is you have no acces to the system needed for starting the hello from the front seat. Switching front to back and vice versa (I think) is not allowed on MP planes, can't tell in Hellos. In the F-14 it is not allowed to do so, nor in the C-101. Never tried in a Huey as I allways thought it was not possible! Don't have the Mossie, so nojoy on that matter. Saludos. Saca111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we can already jump between the seats in the Mosquito in both MP and SP, so surely they know how to make it work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'd assume that's the intended behaviour. I have never tried it though, and I'm positive it was replied from ED in the Mi-8 thread that wished for multiplayer support, that it couldn't be done? Hmmm must try this myself I gather. Well, I thought this didn't work, but I believe you that know, so now I have high hopes for MP support for the Mi-8 in the future. And hopefully in the Kiowa and later the Gazelle too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castor Troy Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 How would you start the Mi-24 from the gunner position, when there isn't any start up system in the gunner seat. This makes as much sense as trying to start a car sitting in your trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes as much sense as trying to start a car sitting in your trunk. Perhaps Petrovich could be used for starting the aircraft? Though switching seats (so long as they're unoccupied) is a must IMO and I'm going to test this, as a few users above have stated that it's possible.

Castor Troy Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I suppose he could. Didn't think of him. Have an option to command the start sequence from the gunner seat via the command menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the mission editor you can choose, if a Huey is supposed to be used with multicrew (then switching seats is not possible, as you are supposed to fly with another player crewmember) or if it is supposed to be a solo flight (then it is possible to switch seats, even in multiplayer). I assume ED will do the same with the Apache, so I don't really understand the issue of this thread?

I tried multi crew recently and still had sync issues, so I still think it’s not fully mature yet Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
