It is seat number zero. I changed it from cdropship_driver, to W-driver.

hehe good to see new modders here i havnt been ehre a while nyways the reason u prob couldnt get into the dropship was prob cuz of hte turret on the dropship. u have to if i remember correctly null it out so that the ship is neutral and not on a specific team but im not sure tat is why cuz i havnt been modding for like a year but im pretty sure tat it is becuz of the turret

No, the turret doesn't really effect it. I was able to enter it fine while the turret was shooting at me. (Interesting thing...While inside the drop ship you are pretty much invincible.)

Ah yes, go into HHT and null out the actv tag for the turret, then try it

no there isnt...well there is...you can make the seat be FP but then the controls are all crapped.

if i remember right you fly down when looking straight

I can change the location for you. It requires hex editing 6 values in the map file and is something of a pain.

EDIT: Ok! I just tried something on a whim. Remember the vehi plugin I posted for you earlier? Change the camera marker name from nothing to gunseat. It puts the camera right below the ship in a much more convenient place.

EDIT #2:

See, the camera is in a much nicer place.

You can swap its [trak] dependency inside it's vehicle tag in HHT, to something that is farther away from the model. Or use Yelo.
