FC Co-Op Gunner position

[Timfred]

Is there an option somewhere in PWCG to make the gunner position available? I was trying to do a campaign with some friends occupying the back seat and couldn't get it to work.

There was never any specific action taken to make gunner slots available in coop.  TBH I have no idea how one would do that.

Thought that might be the case, Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Is that (ability of player to be a gunner) something that the mission maker has to bake into the mission?  I would have thought it would be something that was automatically/default applicable in any MP setting or would be handled as some sort of server setting, rather than something that had to be specifically activated/inserted by the mission maker, but I really have no ides how that stuff works.

May be unrelated but me and some friends messed around a while back with a He-111 campaign.  We just had one plane and everyone else joined the server (essentially as spectators) and was able to hop into the gunner positions of the 111

Yea, I've flown FC 2 seaters with friends no problem. Just be aware that PWCG has no consession for gunners. All you gotta do is set up the mission as normal, have your pilots ready up and spawn. Then the gunners drop into the aircraft. Kills scored by the gunner are claimed by the pilot.
