Questions regarding the crew embark/disembark mechanic in AH-64D

[zerO_crash]

It was interesting to see you release this mechanic in the AH-64D, and it does point to off-board plans by ED/3rd parties (and/or). I have some questions regarding this, and mind you, no binding answers. It is purely for getting an idea behind the thought:

 

- Are there any further plans that you can share with regard to this mechanic? Are you thinking about making a similar system to the disclosed carrier plans (allow to simulate everything from briefing, "drinking a cup of coffee" and entering the aircraft)? Can you indicate what one will be able to do when disembarked?

 

- Currently, the mechanic is in AH-64D. Is it possible to implement a new mission start state (module specific), which allows to start outside the helicopter? To make a basic implementation; have the pilot start next to a humvee automatically placed behind the helicopter or so. It would allow for some valuable input and testing by the community. (Depending on whether the aircraft is set to multi-crew or single - the AI would still spawn inside the helicopter. In multi-crew, both pilot/CPG would start outside.)

 

Thanks in advance!

By the modelviewer, the embark / disembark on the AH-64D, has only a animation with some arguments. Has none actualy on DCS with we start to think on a "first person" feature, on fact, that animation has similar to the escape on the WW2 aircrafts. By the moment I put that on the "box" meanwhile ED dont confirm movements on your side. About Supercarrier Briefing room, I think the same, dream on a future with all players start on a barrac, move to Breafing room on the base, and move with vehicles to your aircrafts and viceversa.

That's what I'm guessing, but curious if ED is willing to shed some light. Interesting to hear that it's a basic implementation currently. One would think that it required more programming than that.
