Now another different error

[Cpl. Vagabond]

i have proxies down on my model but when you get in as pilot/gunner/passenger it doesn't work and your just put @ the centre of the retreval ship

do i have to give each proxy a selection name???

[Colonel_Klink]

Yes you do.
Driver/Pilot would be proxy:driver.01
gunner would be Proxy:gunner.01
cargo would be  Proxy:cargo.01, Proxy:cargo.02, Proxy:cargo.03, Proxy:cargo.04. etc depending upon number of passengers.

Now variations of this would be if you use different vehicle drivers/gunners/cargo for your proxies example UH60Pilot would be proxy:uh60pilot.01.

A lot of the BIS vehicles have their own proxy driver/gunner/cargo variations. so it pays to know what you are actually going to use in your config.cpp as far as the manactdriver, manactgunner, etc properties as this will determine where the driver/gunner/cargo will be in the addon in OFP.
Hope this helps.

ok i'll try it now, they were named already it's something i missed in the config

[Cpl. Vagabond]

manactdriver, manactgunner

if you guys dun wanna do it for me please tell me what i need to add into my config to define which proxy is used for cargo/pilot/gunner

[Cpl. Vagabond]

ok i just realised the proxy's are working but, you can see the pilot/gunner/cargo but, when you switch to first person view you can't see anything, like you've been put into middle of the ship, does anyone know whats wrong, i've done the view - pilot/gunner/cargo LODs

i think the best way to describe it is that the camera isn't looking through the guys eyes, because the guys are sitting in the right place but the camera is @ the middle of the ship

[Cpl. Vagabond]

i found another error the shadows ain't showing up and when flying @ low level i found that to be lethal...does anyone know how i can get the shadows to show up?
