[VR] How to close the left door?

[harf4ng]

Hi,

In VR I'm unable to use my VR controller or even the mouse to close the left door, I look left and try to click on the knob and it does nothing, the cursor does not turn green.

It works well for the right door though.

Any solution?

Thanks

Jump to the left seat (default key is "2"), then you can click the door handle.

Nah, it's more immersive to ask your buddy to close it.

The Huey copilot is useless anyway so I just shove him aside and do it myself.

Doorgunners get the same treatment when they refuse to fire

Haha! I find him "adequate" when I tell him to take control for very short periods. Apart from that I agree.
Are the gunners useless again?
Got hooked on "I love this" job", and there neither is needed.

I think there is an issue with them not recognising “delayed activation” units that only appear after an event trigger (but I would need to check what exactly is causing them to ignore certain enemy units).

The UN pilot campaign for example I think it’s mission 7 or 8 where you need to go defend one of the outposts from “hunters”. At the very end (before picking up the wounded soldier) you need to “convince 2 infantry and their car to leave the area”, and that never worked correctly (at least in the last 8 years or so): so I end up landing right next to them and shoving the business end of an M60 in their face

I see. I have the campaign, just haven't gotten around to it yet. Thanks for the tip!

And how do you fly while using the door Gunner?

Then I will have to add some keybind. I do not see my keyboard in VR

I didn't have an issue with this campaign. And don't remember this mission where you have to convince soldiers. Maybe they changed it.

This is a joke? Or you can really ask him to do so ?

To fly using door Gunner just put the huey in an orbit situation and activate "orbit" autopilot when you finds its a safe orbit and then jump to gunner side and tha dah!!

Neither do I: I don't even have a keyboard in my VR pit. But "1" and "2" are very useful keybinds in multiple modules so I have them bound to my VPC Control panel 2.

Yes, using VoiceAttack or similar 3rd party software - as MAXsenna said earlier in this thread.

Yes, like Raven mentions, I use VoiceAttack, which is pretty cheap and well worth it. There's a free plugin for DCS called VAICOM which makes you talk to ATC/tankers/JTAC etc. without using the radio menu at all. It will even distinguish between modules, so I can have one command ie. "close cockpit", that will press different keystrokes depending of the module like planes vs. helicopters. 

Cheers!
