I suppose that is what I get for trying to fly an Apache solo, from the gunner seat. Keep in mind it works you can fly from the gunner, but you cant gun and shoot. The moment you release controls in order to gun, the heli drops. In trying to catch it and fix it, I managed to hit the tail on the radio tower and it got locked in place. I spent the next half hour up there using it like a turret. (Because the gun still works, unlike the rest of the thing) I tried jumping out, but neither the eject or jump out options were in the action menu. So eventually Mustang had to "Zeus" me...
So note to self, Cant set the helo to hover then use the gun while it stays hovering.
