Dracollin Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 Since the 2.9 update the Pilot Gunner is now missing in the Crew Status page. You can see the door gunner visibly in the helo but he's missing on the Crew Status Page for me.
Flappie Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 I see both left and right gunner status. What are you calling the "pilot gunner"? SP/MP? A track would be welcome. Mi-8 gunners.trk ---
Alireza.kh Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 i think he means the back door gunner. and yes i tested and its line is missing from crew status page. this happens when you spawn from cold start mode. in hot start it is visible and working.
Flappie Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 Even with a cold start Mi-8, I cannot reproduce this issue. Tested in SP and dedi MP. MI8-20231025-000139.trk Maybe a mod conflict is causing your issue. Please try without mods. Oh, and if you keep reproducing the bug, please, please, attach a track. 1 ---
Alireza.kh Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 i tested again and you are right. then it might be related to rearming. if you rearm on farp or airfield with empty payload then this happen. with payload it won't. mi-8 back door gunner 2.trk mi-8 back door gunner.trk
Flappie Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 Yes, indeed, now I see the bug. Thanks! Issue reported. 1 ---
RedBjorn Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 If you load a mission with the rear gunner, he is available to command like normal. If you add him to the helicoptor from re-arm, he does not show up in the sub menu and only the left hand gunner is available. If he's on the helo from mission start, removed, then re-added, he again is not available.

Dracollin Posted October 29, 2023 Author Posted October 29, 2023 Apologies. I've been away due to work. Looks like some input has also been added. I should have added more context. I play on Rotorheads server, load into FARP bravo in a cold start helo and when I rearm with both door gunners I only get the LH GUNNER & not the BK GUNNER in the Crew Status Page. He is still physically visible in the helo just missing from the crew page unfortunately. 1
Flappie Posted October 29, 2023 Posted October 29, 2023 The thread is tagged "reported". That means the problem has been reproduced and reported internally. Please let this thread sleep. I'll wake it up once a fix is about to be released. That's a promise. 4 ---

Sulfa Posted December 29, 2023 Posted December 29, 2023 (edited) I have found if you repair and rearm you'll get the BK Gunner Edited December 29, 2023 by Sulfa 1
EconomicSacks Posted March 10, 2024 Posted March 10, 2024 Any update? Seems like a simple fix yet has not been patched as of 2.9.3.51704 2
Renko Posted April 12, 2024 Posted April 12, 2024 Amazing this is still present in the April update (6 months later) 2
ANDR0ID Posted May 27, 2024 Posted May 27, 2024 Too bad this is still an issue following the latest update. 1
Norforce Posted June 20, 2024 Posted June 20, 2024 The RH gunner doesn't appear in the AI Gunners Panel in MP it works fine in SP

ZuluThreeZero Posted November 27, 2024 Posted November 27, 2024 Can confirm this is still present, and in a new twist the repair and rearm trick doesn't appear to work any more either. Rear gunner is visible, but only functional if he was there at spawn. So dynamic spawns are OK, but static spawns are buggered. Happy to be corrected on that though. 2
mousepilot Posted April 14 Posted April 14 We are also experiencing this issue in our server. It's problematic for us because our helicopters all start without any payload and for that reason the gunner will not work when they rearm.
318_Bonzo Posted April 14 Posted April 14 (edited) This is a huge inconvenience. It's 2025 now and this problem hasn't been fixed. It ruins multiplayer. Gentlemen, please take care of this. Edited April 14 by 318_Bonzo 1
LuseKofte Posted April 15 Posted April 15 Kind of hard to swallow this. It really do piss me off. I try hard not to make a drama of these insignificant bumps on the lighter side of my life. But MI 8 still is the best UH chopper produced here and it is next oldest. Show her respect and give us a answer on why and if it’s going to be fixed. 1
