Can't jump to RIO seat in MP?

Greetings,

Saw a thread over on Hoggit which stated that we can't jump to the RIO seat in MP as a single pilot with no player RIO. Wondering if this is accurate or not? If not, will this ever be implemented in the future?

Thanks for your time, :thumbup:

That is correct and applies to every multicrew aircraft. You cannot occupy back seat without human pilot. No info about implementing that in the future.

And that's why you have Jester.

It would be nice to have the option to change seats between pilot-rio even if its another player occupying the slot, so you and your friend could change jobs midplay for whatever reason.

What about TGP? How to use it in multiplayer?

You can't without a human RIO. Unless the server has no integrity check and you use the "pilot TGP" mod.

I just dont understand why you shouldnt be able to just switch back to the RIO position in multiplayer. It would make the module even more fun to play. Its not often you play with a human RIO. SO to just be able to train that in multiplayer would be awsome. Hope they change that someday!

This is currently not possible and not something Heatblur can fix. It's simply not possible to switch seats in a multicrew aircraft in multiplayer in DCS.

To add to that, we requested this feature about two years ago from ED, but it was denied unfortunately.

As Naquaii has said: It's a technical limitation of the DCS engine and how multiplayer has been integrated in it.
