Yeah luckily nothing happened to them, but I'd smoke the <profanity> out of any of my FOs if he allowed that back during my deployment. I can understand being under fire and all, but realistically that wasn't a safe call.
Yeah it gave me the willies too. I mean stuff like that may cause a friendly fire incident from ricochets, but I would tell HAWG something different, like NE SW, not South to North.
Agreed, ED hasn't released any stuff to make maps, and they probably won't add more airports to it. I mean it would be cool but not probably going to happen.
I've noticed the same with my setup but I just think it's an effect, and not so much a bug. I'd do a video but it really doesn't bother me when it happens to me (and my joystick isn't near me either). And I use a Thrustmaster Hotas One
I use the start procedure and it doesn't power up either apparently. I didn't know there was a clicky button for the HMCS since I mainly fly 2D but haven't noticed it when I pan around though. I figure it was a TrackIR (which I have) or VR thing that it shows.
I don't have a track made but I am having the same issue you're having Caldera. I fire at long range and before it hits the laser goes out and I don't even hit the target. I would expect it to hit given that the laser doesn't overheat but still. Even turning on the laser doesn't present a hit though. Methinks it's bugged but it could be range too. I only shot two earlier today during my flight and missed with both. I don't know why they should miss as they should be easier to use than the D or other models as you have to get the TGP on target well.
Yeah like I said, I only fired it once after watching the mission to use it. It's easier to shoot than the D so I hope to get more proficient over time. I don't fly much but when I do I practice shooting weapons on a custom map that I use to do such stuff. But that's good stuff to know. I don't remember the range I shot the first one but I think I was within the middle to short range for the shot but thanks for things to keep in mind in using it.
I watched the track and saw that you damaged the infantry. I managed to damage an MTLB when i was practicing with an AGM-65L (well my first time shooting it really). I was off and corrected the TGP and damaged it by about 13%. I figured I had time to shoot the target with the slow missile flight time but I'll have to shoot more to get a feel and probably end up with the same result that you're coming up with.
Yeah I used to "crash land" the Su-25T for about three weeks. Then somehow I figured out how to land without breaking it. This will be no different once I work on it.
