WallyJas 10 Posted January 25, 2011 Guys, What mods/scripts are available that enable a single player chopper pilot to control both the piloting and the gunning tasks? I have Mando's addon installed and it's awesome (this allows the pilot player to use the hellfires via an MFD view) but I was wondering if there are any others that I should check out. Cheers, Wal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigMorgan 11 Posted January 25, 2011 Make the gunner playable, then a simple tap of a button (Y on my game) puts you in the gunner's seat ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WallyJas 10 Posted January 26, 2011 That's a really simple and effective way of doing it, thanks Morgan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WallyJas 10 Posted January 29, 2011 Guys, I've been doing what Morgan suggested and it worked well before I installed ACE2. Now that I am using ACE2 (for their manual guidance on hellfires via the designator) when I switch to the gunner (using Y key) the chopper stays hovering but it increases it's hover height by about 5-10m. Is there some kind of a minimum height an ACE2 chopper will hover at? Also, is there anyway of taking control of the gunners sight directly from the pilots seat? Again in ACE2 there is a 'fire control' action menu, I would love to see that work by enabling all of the gunner options for the pilot. Anyone know if this is possible and/or it could be scripted?

Posta 10 Posted January 29, 2011 Yes there is a .pbo in the SLX Mod that does that. slx_cargunner.pbo It's nice. Just press auto-hover. Choose manual gunner and you have full control over the 30mm. Blast some guys and switch back to pilot and fly away (Backspace). I use it all the time with ACE and Mandos. You can't lase and your sight adjustment won't work though. So you need to aim high at far distances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WallyJas 10 Posted January 30, 2011 Sorry Posta, I'm not sure if I understood. Did you say that you cannot guide hellfires with the manual gunner? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posta 10 Posted January 30, 2011 Sorry Posta, I'm not sure if I understood. Did you say that you cannot guide hellfires with the manual gunner? You can do everything that the real gunner can. Beside range-adjust your 30mm. Targeting work as normal. Actually i only use manual gunner for the 30mm and Mando Missiles for Hellfires. Try it out! I do however recommend Mando Missiles to make it even better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBuck 10 Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) Hi BigMorgan, how does it really work? First I placed a AH64 with the option "playable as gunner" and placed myself as soldier beside. Now I can enter the gunner seat with "Z" (european layout) but i can't switch to the pilot. Than I placed a AH64 with the option "playable as pilot and gunner" and placed myself as soldier beside again. I entered the chopper with "Z". First position is pilot. i go up in the air an switched autopilot on, then pressed "Z". Now I'm the gunner. The problem is, that the chopper goes down because the pilot is now KI. After pressing "Z for a third time i'm back outside the chopper as soldier. So how I have to place and configure the units? Thanks. Tino PS: Thx Posta for the slx_cargunner.pbo. Works also fine for me. Edited January 31, 2011 by TBuck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
