I had this happen to me also. What I have found to work for me is. 1 have George cycle to rockets 2. Have George select target 3 pilot select rockets to go into co op 4 line up target and fire 5 pilot un-was rockets. 6 repeat i find that if you do not in-was the rockets and you select a new target you cannot fire, at least that has been my experience. I think the issue is if you select coop rockets before finding a target things get lost in the George/aircraft logic even thought it says coop

Only time I had the course alignment fail is when I pushed the enabled button and let the cross in the helmet drift to far or to much in the hud cross it will come back as failed. It may be to much head movement when accomplishing the task. If it fails. Just re align the cross on the hud and push the enable switch again to restart the process

When ever I have this issue. I find the easiest way to fix it is. As a pilot ‘was’ the hellfire your self and then move your head around the target being laser. To me what I think is happening, when George is in control of the hellfire the missile seeker head is stuck. And for some reason when the weapon is ‘was’ by the pilot the missile seeker fallows the pilots head position, along with the missile pylon articulation up and down with the pilots head movement tell it locates the laser energy and locks on to the target. And now that I think of it, maybe it’s a case of the pylon facing to far down when the tads is activated and the seeker can’t find the target

There is no light in the helicopter or a audio distinction for the weapon release trigger guard. There is a option in the special menus to remove the requirement of using the trigger guard. Also, I noticed that you did not bore sight your ihadds for the gun/sensors. No idea If that has anything to do with it

If you used rudder trim, the most likely reason is coming into a hover your rudder peddles center is set to the trim position. And this will cause you a loss of axis movement in the other direction with the peddles. You can try re trimming often when coming in for a hover. Or what I have done is select the trim down button to trim reset key that to reset the center of your rudder peddles to the center of the axis for the anti torque rotor

If you go into your install folder. "DCS World/Mods/Aircraft/AH-64D/input/ AH-64D_PTL/joystick. and add these lines of code in the default.lua file you will have the option to assinge your NVS mode switches to the 3 position switch . This code is entered in line 502 to 508 (i use notepad++ for editing) { down = electric_commands.NVS_MODE_KNOB_EXT, up = electric_commands.NVS_MODE_KNOB_EXT, cockpit_device_id = devices.ELEC_INTERFACE, value_down = -1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('PLT NVS MODE Switch - OFF/NORM'), category = {_('Left Console'), _('NVS Mode Panel')}}, { down = electric_commands.NVS_MODE_KNOB_EXT, up = electric_commands.NVS_MODE_KNOB_EXT, cockpit_device_id = devices.ELEC_INTERFACE, value_down = 1.0, value_up = 0.0, name = _('PLT NVS MODE Switch - FIXED/NORM'), category = {_('Left Console'), _('NVS Mode Panel')}},

Sadly. Not everyone has the time to read all of the manual or to remember everything in the manual. On top of that he may have read the manual and didn’t quite understand what it was saying or pointing to. I have not read that section of the manual yet. But I do know if the system is turned on and there are no RWR contacts then the box is not displayed. What may add to the confusion why the box appears and disappears when the system is on. Perhaps sir Rongor, you will ask a question and some one happens to find your answer in the manual and they can give you the same response.

That’s cool for VR. I wonder if that same thing can be done for the 2d users also. Jesse

Weapons? If you don’t load any weapons on my pylon the only option you get are guns

I can help you edit the LUA files in order to make it into a toggle switch. May have to fiddle with the order for the code to get what you want to open/close at the correct operations These files will be located in your game install drive (DCS World open beta/mods/aircraft/ah-64d/input/AH-64D_PLT or CPT/joystick. ) Add his command line in between line 70 and 71, If the commands are backards from what you want. All you should need to do is swap the UP and Down values Just copy and past as it is written down. This will add a new controller bind in the game nammed "open close toggle" { down = hotas_commands.CYCLIC_TRIGGER_GUARD, up = hotas_commands.CYCLIC_TRIGGER_GUARD, cockpit_device_id = devices.HOTAS_INPUT, value_down = 0.0, value_up 1.0, name = _('Weapons Trigger Guard - OPEN/CLOSE Toggle'), category = {_('Cyclic Stick'), _('HOCAS')}},

Only time i had Pylon Aux tanks not work was when i had the outboard pylons loaded with wing tanks. And then had the inboard pylons loaded with Hellfire. I believe this is my error, as i remember reading some where that the fuel is fed from the OB pylon tank to the I/B pylon tank. and from that tank it is fed into the Main tanks. I believe this i my wrong doing, because it had no inboard Aux tanks to feed fuel into, thus interrupting the chain. When i had the pylon Aux tanks on the inboard pylons, everything worked fine. Thanks

This is one of the known issues of the Apache put in the patch notes “Rotor damage shake effect continues after the rotor has stopped”

when you open the game at the top left corner will be a button that looks like a checker board. and there should be a red icon in the bottom left. Called the modual manager. that will have all the airplanes that you have bought so you can install them into dcs

I have never had any issues using harms or any other weapons after using the SJ system. I have seen other people have issues using SJ by not leaving the SJ page by clicking the SJ button in the bottom right of the mfd screen to take them back into the invintoey page. In that case they where still stuck in the S JETT page and didn’t know.

Wags said in a YouTube comment that rocket employment will me latter this week.

When on the HAD page for the harm. Pushing TMS Left, inside the DED display will show a Lat/Long and Altitude of the radar position based on the PMG level is. Is there away to transfer the information from the DED box into a mark and/or steerpoint? This would seem like really useful item indead of memorising the Info in the DED and then manually putting it into a steerpoint. Thanks Jesse.

So now, the most aligned the aircraft can get is 10, instead of the 6? When did this happen to change, i don't remember seeing any of this in the release notes. Is this how the aircraft is suppose to work? Or is this a case of a bug being introduced into the aircraft and not being caught? Thanks

Check the power switch for the AGM-88, sometimes after rearming the power switch is defaulted to off position.

I have been trying to use the normal INS alignment and can not get past the 10. So far i have been sitting here for 12 minutes. I have fallowed Wags instruction from one year ago and the steps stated in Chucks guide. Move switch to the Norm position. And selected the Lat and Long positions and selected enter key before the two minute mark. Any idea what my issue may be that i am doing wrong? Thanks Jesse.

I had good Success of braking a lock multiple times from a mig-25. Even after the Mig launched a missile it broke lock from the aircraft. perhaps more tests need to happen with airborne radars

I use the parking brake often in the F-16 and never had a issue with the switch going from parking brake to anti skin. Intact I don’t ever remember a time it switched to off. Another option is applying thrust with the jet, and that will also trip the switch back to anti skid setting. Also when using the switch I am using the mouse click to turn the switch to parking brake and to anti skid. I will check tomorrow on what my key presses are.

Except they keep updating us and saying they have no news. And when they have news they will tell us. The problem is people in this thread keeps ignoring there statement and whines and think that’s going to change the news they have. Just the other day they said in this thread they have no news. They said the same a few days before that. Just wait. ED just came back from there vacation on the 10th. Give them time to work and do there thing. All the people need to do in the forum is wait. There is nothing that you can, will are going to do to change that situation. If it drops next week, good. If it don’t I am sure they will give you a new date to whine about.

I seen pilots be all fancy and back in embraer 175 at the airport. I also seen plenty of ladders start flying around because they have no idea what was laying in the grass. They stopped that after one went a little to far and fell of the concrete and the main wheels ended up in the soft ground. Honestly i wouldn't want to back taxi in anything where i am not able to see behind me. To much unknown when you cant see whats going on, even using a spotter would make me nervous Just my thoughts on the whole "back taxi" Jesse

Not sure if i am looking at the video that the original poster posted. But i didn't see anything about any start up procedures in that video. Maybe i am just missing something.

Thanks for the input there Raptor9. I can agree with you on the speculation aspect. I don't know how it works, these are the things i wonder and like to learn about. Perhaps this is the intended effect of how things work. At same time i cant figure out in my mind why on would make a function to work in this way. That is why i was wondering from of other peoples input. In case i was not clear on what i was trying to say. I posted a photo of what i was speaking about in the ED sneak peek hellfire video that shows the two launchers with hellfire at different articulation position. thanks Jesse.
