Mac Dac Wraith Shadow Guards 133	Posted - 2013.08.12 17:51:00 - [1] - Quote do they actually work? how can u tell if they are open? is there some mechanic that opens and closes them automatically? I have noticed that x opens bay doors but i dont see any change when i open them. Thanks.

Thanks. they open automatically when you go near to the ground for Infantry drop offs although i don't think they work when they are activated, i have managed to kill infantry behind those, they are glitchy, sometimes they work and sometimes they don't

The LAV's gunner is safe then a dropship's.

CELESTA AUNGM Kang Lo Directorate Gallente Federation 0	Posted - 2013.08.13 12:30:00 - [7] - Quote There's a "comms with pilot" feature that opens the bay doors in flight? I'm confused, and I am a student Dropship driver. Please tell me this feature or step that allows the pilot to open the doors while in high flight above the ground. Hope I'm not opening an item that's already been discussed somewhere.

I think he means that the passengers would have to tell the pilot to open the doors, and that the passengers can't do it themselves.

As best as I could tell, the "bay doors" button is disabled or currently unassigned as far as actual DS driving is concerned. The automatic opening-pre-landing and closing-when-fully-ascending is the only way those doors behave, and there is NO optional or manual way to override that. For the time being. But if anyone can CONFIRM we have a secret manual control of the doors, let the rest of us know for CERTAIN. It would be a great dramatic function to have.

martinofski Rebelles A Quebec Orion Empire 293	Posted - 2013.08.15 13:51:00 - [17] - Quote Yep, altitude. It's stupid, since you need to be low for gunners to shoot effectively. And then, the doors always open and close up. Annoying if you ask me. While in the air, they should open up when the guy press to jump off. He would need to hold the O until doors are opened. And they open automatically when the DS is landed. Pilot could also open them with X. No such thing as altitude controlled.
