Changing crew positions problem

[Cdr84]

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.

Anymore on this?

Level bombers pretty much useless online as is.

No real solution yet that we have found at Syndicate, though there is a minor workaround (which works best on 2 seat planes such as bf110 and ju87).

1) on the ground cycle through the various positions. Do this BEFORE you start your engines. Use either 'Next manned position' or 'Previous manned position controls',found in view. No idea what the default keys are as I mess with my stuff so much!

2) Next, for A/C with more than 2 seats jump to the prefered non-pilot seat. i.e. generally this will be the bomb aimers position.

3) Make sure you have a button set to the control called 'change manned position'. this is in the View section

4) Use above button to change between bomb aimer (or whatever ) and the pilot and this does NOT start messing with your engine.

Its not perfect but it works... sort of!

We think this is tied to scripts (and probably to do with the one we use to despawn empty planes) but at the moment scripts are a dark art! If anyone has a script that doesn't intefere with crew manning please let us know.
