mods conflict No gunsight view for side gunning

[Tshark]

Been trying to get the Huey multi-crew working with the side gunners.  Used to be a player could jump into a side gunner (without head tracking) and have a down the gunsight view that is mouse controlled.  Now when going to a side gunner you cannot see the gunsight due to a gunner body in the way.  This is the same in single player on the ground switching to a gunner position.  I have tried using the "hide pilot body" key command and option with no effect.

I don't have a gunner body in the way. Do you, when you replay my track?

If you do, please attach your dcs.log. You might have a conflicting mod.

Thanks for the reply Flappie.  I tried the track and I can look down the gunsight.  I found that for some reason when I enter the gunner position my default view is looking at the back of the other gunner.  When I turn around to face my gun I can not look down the gunsight.  Also the gun jumps to full traverse side to side when aiming.  I uninstalled all mods with no luck and tried it on another pc that has never had a mod on it with the same results.

Thanks again for the help

Here is the log file:

In your latest dcs.log, I see a lot of active mods. Some of them cause errors:

But let's pretend it has nothing to do with mods. Try this:

1. Browse to "Saved Games\DCS\Config\View".
2. Rename "SnapViews.lua" to "SnapViews.lua.bak".

Flappie, you were right it was the mods.  Something changed with the recent DCS updates and the mods started causing the trouble.  Since I had the same problem on the PC I "thought" had no mods installed, I had ruled them out in my troubleshooting.  After your response above, I dove deeper into that installation and found several of the same mods.  I deleted the mods on both PCs and now views work as they should.  Lesson learned!

Thanks again for your help.
