Option to have AI WSO on Manual-Startup

[MarkP]

Would be cool if there would be a option to enable automatic WSO startup.

Somewhat imersion breaking to jump in the WSO seat after the startup and flip the needed switches, mostly for laser and Chaff Flare

There are button bindings for turning on the TGP and EW stuff from the pilot's seat, FWIW.  Not perfect, but at least no jumping into the backseat is required

Thanks, yeah, i know. But im in VR, always a hassle to put the headset off, use keyboard (cant find them with VR on) and align the headset again. Maybe its can combined in the "diasable multicrew" or something

Get VoiceAttack and pretend you have a WSO.

Cheers!

And that is what is keeping me from VR. Hopefully Raz will get an AI WSO in this thing at some later point. It could really benefit from one.

I think I have plan for this, even though I'm not VR'ing, but I need to know which switches in WSO seat need to be in what position during Startup. I've watched various Startup videos but they all seem to vary, or ignore that crew position to get up fast.

Ex: TGT Pod - WSO - STBY

Let me know and I'll hopefully resolve this for both VR and non-VR.

I have a workaround that does the trick for me. I'm NON-VR but too old & lazy to jump in the back seat. Right now I have the following in my WSO Startup sequence that initialize thru a VA command 'Backseat Startup after I both engine starts, it all happens in about 5 seconds :

TGT Pod - WSO - STBY, All 4 displays - WSO - ON, RWR - WSO - ON, EWWS - WSO - ON, COUNTERMEASURE MODE - WSO- Semi-Auto

I'm really not familiar yet with what other basic systems need to be turned ON from WSO seat but would continue this process if some folks can let me know what other systems need to be turned on and in what position from WSO. (On - Off - Standby - ???). 

Once I sort out the non-standardized crypto language of the LUAs, I can do this for the non-VA pilots with a switch in the front seat.
