On the main webpage it says quote: "Multiple player positions, including pilot, co-pilot, and door gunner."

And on the module site it says: "Multiplayer coop mode for crew members of the same helicopter under development for a later update."

So which is it? And why do they contradict each other?

i'm presuming you did not purchase. If you have any interest in the helo i would suggest buying it. I have not learned a fraction of it, but like to just wing it and have some fun.

 

Those statements are true, you can be in the co pilot, gunner etc. They plan to add multiplayer coop to those seats. IE 2 coop players in the same helo.

The multiple positions feature is currently implemented. You can freely switch between the different positions all you want in game.

 

Multiplayer cockpits, aka 2+ human players in the same aircraft, is not yet implemented.

The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

...Guess i'll wait

 

Multi-crew is on the way:

 

 

Another new aircraft coming to DCS World later in 2014 will be the venerable L-39 [...]

 

We also plan for this module to include multiplayer front seat / back seat capability. We believe that this feature will add a new dimension of gameplay for this aircraft and several others like the UH-1H, Mi-8MTV2, Hawk, and C-101.

That's a huge bummer. Multicrew would be pretty cool. Maybe what's taking so long is that they are making it better than the Gazelle multicrew......but at least theirs is out already. I don't normally badger for updates, but I'm seeing this thread as started 2 years ago, seems like a reasonable amount of time to iron something like that out I should think. BST, why did you say this was gonna be a thing, then never do it? Man up and tell us if you aren't, we can take it. Be a whole lot better than stringing us along.......

That's a bit of a kick in the nuts... I was really looking forward to Huey multi crew.

I'm not holding my breath either. Best just to enjoy what we have and have the expectation that we'll never see an update. Then if you do get an update you'll be pleasantly surprised, and if not, you weren't anticipating one anyway. Less heartbreak that way :smilewink:

Well, also not holding breath, but if you are gonna say it then......and hey, if PolyChop can get it done why can't the amazing BST folks?? I think that's my biggest grievance with this situation, if I am allowed to have one. The Huey is a much more complete module than Gazelle, but even those guys got multiplayer included.

Yeah me too. I am betting we never see this function. It seems things others have been able to do for years is still out of reach for ED and some of the devs sadly. Will try and kepp some hope alive this gets implemented at some point. I am sure work is being put into the function, probably.

Robert31178, you cannot compare multi crew in Huey with the Gazelle. BST made the Huey long before multi crew was implemented (or figured out) and I bet it is not easy to implement at this stage.

 

In my opinion, the multi crew system is still a proof of concept and will continue to be perfected as DCS develops. I have tried multi crew in both L-39 and the Gazelle. It is fun, but still has some issues with sync and glitches in multiplayer. Once it get more robust, perhaps with 2.5 and the

Mi-24P / F-14 modules I expect to see a lot more people flying multi crew.

I believe BST is far more active in the Russian language forum and they dont frequent the English one....would be interesting to know if any updates have been posted there, or responses to some of these questions?

Dead quiet. same for Mi8 man. Not sure multicrew will ever show up for these choppers.

 

That's very sad news if that doesn't happen. The potential to have four people in a single aircraft is huge. The 2nd and 3rd people don't even have to have full setups, could just use a suitable laptop, mouse, keyboard and Rift.

In development. It`s more difficult to do then multicrew for L-39.
