so i started making an ah-64a not too long ago and im about to build the cockpit, but i realised that i really have no idea how i will actually have gameplay for 2 crew as one player.
so i very kindly ask the simpleplanes community on how this feature will be implemented .
here is a picture of the helo !!!
now what do the 2 guys do in the ah-64??????
the pilot : he is the one in the back and he flies the helicopter 99.9% of the time. he can fire all weapons but usually just gives permission for the gunner to fire
the gunner : he is in the front and is responsible for targeting and shooting, specifically responsible for lasing targets with the AGM-114 hellfire missiles
thats really nice wow and cool but obviously you cannot be 2 people at the same time so i have 2 solutions to this issue
(1) shrimple solution : the helicopter is operated entirely from the pilot (flying, shooting, lasing, targeting) and the gunner has no cockpit and no camera
(2) ummm uhh um solution : both crew have modeled cockpits but the hellfires can only be targeted and fired by the gunner
i will note than both crew have an IHADSS (i forgot what it means but it's a HUD eyepiece that follows your head and can be used as a regular HUD and to target the 30mm cannon)
cool pishure for those with mini attention span
solution 1 is better in terms of part count and gameplay, but 2 is better for fidelity and stuff (more par)
i just dont really know which one you guys would want, you could also just describe your own method if mine SUck
@rexzion oh so # is dos
@MrSilverWolf it means f### !!!!!!!! dont say that M<RISILVERWOLFE your a modereter!
@rexzion is dos a bad word?!?!!!!!!
Which if thats the case rexin please do not stab the helis our of rage, that not very nice and you can be charged with first degree attempted murder! 😱🤯
@Dllama4 he tried stabbing it after getting angry at connection issues or flight model problems, probably
I know mine is a D model and I didn't implement IHADSS but it has decent playability in my opinion. Both seats have the ability to fly but I have the pilot seat flight performance displays and the gunner weapons displays. Both seats have full capability for combat and flying, but the front and rear have their respective optimization.
@TheCommentaryGuy what
make the display have an ability to import images in it
@Kangy ok my two little things:
numero uno: i will break your kneecaps if you say that again
numero dos: um yeah i guess yeah i supose
2 but give the player cockpit controls so they don't lose control of the aircraft while gunning
ok my two little things:
numero uno: IHADSS is Integrated Helmet And Display Sighting System, (you speld it wrog rexagon!!!)
numero dos: i think your 2st option is good, if you scrape the bottom of the barrel you could make a funky tree gunner i guess
i would make it so you can fly from the pilot seat rather than split into two but that's becaus im stipdufd an NOT helisopter
Why is there a stick above the main rotor blades, Rexzion? Awful.
@MrSilverWolf agim 114 r9x (with sord) stab u
Nooooo Rexzion committing war crimes now noooo
