fixed internally AH-64D - Multicrew slot joining issues

[Archi]

On multiplayer servers when trying to join as a AH64 CPG, the ACCEPT button will straight up not work (the DENY will), and some other times it will work and I will be slotted in but the BREIFING button will not allow me to get in the cockpit. This only happens on the Apache as far as I know.

 

Has this ever happened to you and how did you fix it?

I've definitely had this issue. I have worked around it by selecting a slot in another aircraft and then going back and selecting the CPG seat I wanted.

Tried everything from reslotting, to leaving the server, to restarting both the game and my computer but I sometimes it just doesn't work. No idea how to fix this or what causes it.

Yes, we have seen this, too. 

Joining a different aircraft as pilot, then joining on the original Apache as CPG seems to work for us as well.

when this happens can you attach your dcs log from the same session, so we can look for clues 

thanks

Just to add, 

it will be greyed out until you click on the user requesting in the pop up. 

Click the user, then click accept. 

let me know if it helps

if not please record it happening if possible 

thank you

That's a bug in the current OB version. If this bug occurs you can see the player being listed in the spectators slots as well as in the CPG/RIO/WSO slot at the same time.



To avoid this bug, the CPG/RIO/WSO player needs to slot into a different singlecrew aircraft slot first and then slot into the CPG/RIO/WSO slot from there.
