How to fly with real people

[John Galt]

Just jumped in the Huey for the first time and really enjoyed it, but a friend wants to be my door gunner but I don't know how to create those slots so he can join. When I add a Huey to a mission, all I can choose is the pilot slot, what am I doing wrong?

If you place a Huey down with skill set to "Client" and host the mission online, it should automatically generate the other slots for multicrew.

But the first person has to occupy the pilot slot anyway otherwise the other slots won't open.

You prepare the mission on the Mission Editor, but then you have to use the MULTIPLAYER option of the DCS menu, to start your PC as a Server to which your friends can join. It will give this seat selection screen:

@John Galt Your friend has to own the Huey as well.

You do not have to do anything extra in the editor. Are you running a multiplayer mission as well? (obvs)

On the slot selection screen he then picks one of the other positions after you are in.

You will receive a message asking for permission for him to join.

You accept and then he will be placed in that slot.

Hope that helps.

Thank you so very much for that info.
