Pilot controls under CPG control list?

[skypickle]

When in the controls tab, setting the dropdown to AH-64D CP/G, there are multiple options for the pilot, for example PLT NVIS Mode switch positions, as well as the sight select switch positions. Why would I want to have these functions bound? There is already a sight select switch on the right handgrip and unless the CPG has pilot control (by pressing C) the sight select switch on the stick does nothing. The Pilot NVIS mode switch also seems redundant. Can I not achieve the same result when flying as pilot in the CPG seat by choosing sight select TADS and acquisition source GHS?

What if your pilot in the back is incapacitated, and now you need to fly the aircraft from the front? You can borrow his PNVS and select your sight while keeping your hands on the collective and stick.

(This is just a guess; I am not an expert in these things.)

The "PLT NVS switch" is a typo in the controls that has been reported. It is meant to be "CPG NVS switch" and controls the NVS switch in the CPG cockpit.

Both crewstations can use different NVS sensors independent of each other, which is why they have separate switches.
