Steps To Reproduce
  1. Enter a Bohemia official game server.
  1. Get into the pilot helicopter seat.
  1. Test activate/verify the auto-hover switch on and off.
  1. Then let a person enter the co-pilot seat.
  1. Notice once person settles into co-pilot seat, there is now a lack of control of the auto-hover switch, inhibiting either a permanently on or off state.
  1. Once co-pilot enters the rear seats, the pilot can now once again control the auto-hover switch.
Additional Information

This bug may occur if the co-pilot is using an X-Box gaming machine, rather than PC. Not verified.

I've reproduced this one with an person using X-Box, and as time permits, will keep watch for the bug.

Hello rogerx.
We cannot seem to reproduce this on 1.1.
Can you check and let us know?

Due to the slow ranking, I cannot likely feasibly re-test this bug. At most, I can likely use player AI for taking the co-pilot seat, but already doubting, I will be able to reproduce if you do not see this bug.

I was, both, lucky to have the time and the timing for experiencing this bug initially.

I also noticed last night during a game on the official Bohemia servers, could not raise my main rifle to sights using the left mouse button, while the left mouse button worked elsewhere. It may be very likely, other players' installed (but supposedly not used on Bohemia servers) modifications are causing the anomalies. Long time player on ARMA multi-player servers, and one of the first offsets with modifications, they tended to create these weird bugs or anomalies. On the flip, these anomalies helped or were beneficial for others readily speculate/realize cheating was occurring.

As for myself, due to the instabilities/bugs with modifications, quite quickly ceased playing on the community servers and subsequently (and tediously) removed all the modifications. (Required manually removing a directory, with the process not being well documented.)

Probably throw this bug on a back-burner, as I'm guessing there's a non-documented bug somewhere, or the bug may have been addressed elsewhere.
