Enjoy! Four crew positions are available including the cockpit crew and the side gunner. We have added new functionality to MultiCrew join requests permitting the crew commander to see the various role requests. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1593360/DCS_Mi24P_HIND/ The DCS: Mi-8MTV2 has specific AI crew functionality for the mechanic-technician (center cockpit seat) such as the on-demand monitoring of the yaw autopilot channel. If a human player takes this role then the AI functionality ceases to work automatically and switches over to the specific player to manage. While working with cargo, the mechanic-technician is moved to the rear cabin for cargo ops observation and management.

As a matter of interest, the work on these models is a relatively sophisticated process. Here are the key steps: [b]Stage 1 Pilot Figure Modeling:[/b] The basic articulated human body is selected and the desired clothing style and fabric is laid over it. The analysis of original flight suits, parachutes and crew equipment along with photographs, videos is collated. Additional talks with pilots and SMEs are made to iron out any fine nuances. Facial modeling to a suitable character is developed with skin and detail texturing to follow.

Finally, each crew member is given an animation for simulated incapacitation. From the VR point of view, our goal is to deliver realism and immersion and make you feel as though it is your own body.
