In this picture I was suppose to be a co-pilot for an AH-64 but instead I spawn as a bird.
Also in this mission in multiplayer there is no slot for me to enter pilot,only co-pilot for the first AH-64.
The host cannot fly as a bird. If you try to select the unit that is turned into a bird as host the server will crash, but the team mate will have full control as a bird if they pick it.
