changing crew positions?

when i try to choose the copilot spot to check out my new fancy garmin i end up in the back of my chopper. same happens when i try out the crew chiefs position.

i checked the quick start manual and found that 1,2 and 3 is the key of choice.

im having this issue in both 1.5 and 2.1. what am i doing wrong?

i do have the ns 430 installed.

bumped

thats what happens when i press 2,3

Maybe try a repair? 1/2/3 all work correctly for me in all three branches (stable/beta/alpha) and on all maps.

Previously, the most usual Mi-8 crew position problems were caused by cokpit mods, or leftovers from any old mods in Saved Games location. I'd hazard a guess that might be the case here as well.

i ran a repair, cleaned up and updated to last version again - no luck on 2.1 its still the same.

thx for the reply tho:)

Remove both the relevant DCS folders from the Saved Games then. Must be something broken there (remember that these folders are NOT affected by either cleanup or repair scripts).

what folders are those?

C:\Users\[your profile name]\Saved Games\DCS for (1.5.7) and [...] \DCS.openalpha (for 2.1.1), where all your personal data and settings are stored.

Back them up before deleting, of course, especially Config\Input subfolder (where controllers assignments are stored) and logbook.lua file in Mission Editor subfolder (where your logbook and campaigns progress are stored).

Launch the game, let it build new folders, and test. Then you can start moving your old subfolders and files back, one by one, checking which one causes the problem. You will narrow it down, eventually.

But, some mods like Peter's broken Proper Neck mod can mess something.
