This sounds so cool. From the ED forums.


Finally today we got the multi crew experience many of us have been waiting for for a long long time. My first experience tonight was a heck of a lot of fun! We (The Flying Kiwis) filled a couple of Huey's to the brim and headed out, the inter aircraft banter was gold, the reactions within the aircraft to events made it really feel like we really were one crew in our own aircraft, dyeing together was tragically awesome. In all it has opened up so much scope for our missions and enjoyment of DCS.
   Sunday nights mission we are going to ferry in a JTAC, he will do his job on the ground, then we will pick him up and take him home, how cool is that!
   One really cool thing to do (in VR) is if your in the copilot seat stand up and walk down the back of the choppa, freakishly realistic experience, my pilot started to maneuver and I had to yell at him that I wasn't holding on to anything! It really was cool to plonk myself down on the seat next to the door gunner and poke my head out. 
  Thanks for finally solving this riddle ED, it was not a wasted effort!
So what cool experiences have you guys had?

I tend to agree with Chris. I suspect the novelty of a pilot, a co-pilot and 2 gunners is going to pall fairly quickly. It will be particularly interesting to see what the effect of 4 high rate-of-fire guns, being fired from 6 or 8 Hueys, simultaneously has on the frame rate. And that is without taking account of the effect on global warming and other environmental factors!!

Just think of the poor pilot with an additional 3 “Huey experts” all shouting “up a bit - down a bit” continuously. At least the AI doesn’t talk back to you - unless it’s just me that puts them off. He travels faster who travels alone.

Next Christmas maybe..

In the meantime, a couple of multi crew missions should reveal whether we want to crew up or not.

PersonallyI think it’ll be most use for training purposes, but it might also make gunships more accurate and effective perhaps? Slicks are less in need of multi crews I think?

Just a thought, but do infantry units shoot at you? Not sure if it would be fun gunning down troops that don't shoot back.
