According to Discord user Marko, dynamic simulation for vehicles has to be enabled before the vehicle is crewed. Calling _vehicle enableDynamicSimulation true on a vehicle that already has a crew does not enable dynamic simulation for the vehicle (even if dynamic simulation for the crew is already enabled).

The following example illustrates how a crewed vehicle with working dynamic simulation is created:

private _vehicle = createVehicle ["B_APC_Wheeled_01_cannon_F", [0,0,0], [], 0, "NONE"]; _vehicle enableDynamicSimulation true; private _group = createGroup west; [_vehicle, _group] call BIS_fnc_spawnCrew; _group enableDynamicSimulation true;
