Changing crew positions problem

This only happens when I'm in someone else's server online. I cannot reproduce it in single player, coop, or df when I run them myself regardless of the realism settings except for Anthropomorphic Control which I cannot use/test (see this thread; http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=22282).

Ideas?

Hi CDr,

I get this issue too. On the Syndicate server we don't have Anthropawhatitsname on, however we I get the same issue in the bf110 (when its working..) and the Ju88 and Stuka.

Howver, what I have found it this: If you use CRTL-C to move around the positions it causes this issue sometimes, however just using the 'switch between pilot and gunner' command (cant remember the exact name....) it doesn't occur.... most of the time! Yep, it seems to be an online thing only as well.

Also, see if your turret axes conflict with the plane controls.

I've tried mapping different keys to those commands.

I have also tried using the jump directly to the postition keys and get the same result.

I'll check into the gun axis thing further.

Thanks,

Cdr

Any scripts?

[wildwillie]

What server / Mission was running. Perhaps there is an issue with the mission itself has a script that is killing the engines thinking the player left when they switched positions. I know there is a whole other post about scripts and we are all pretty new with them so that may be the key if this does not happen offline, but does online.

Just my 0.02 cents

Hadn't thought about scripts to be honest... another confusing thing to confuse things even further!

Will have to look into this a bit more

When you change positions (while on a server) and the problem happens in the Italian bomber here's what it says on the right hand side of the screen (where it tells you whats happening with the plane, brakes on etc...);

Telepirometro Elettrico:Off.

I bablefished (the Italian part) and it comes up as Telepirometro Electrical worker.

I checked this offline and there, where the problem doesn't occur, this phrase doesn't come up.

No messages of any kind are given with the other bombers, but this should be a pretty big clue to whoever.
