Don't use LMC. That's what throws the desync. Take the MAN TRK axis saturation down to like 40 on both X and Y if using an analog input and don't gorilla the thumb stick. Your pilot should also be able to hold a pretty stable hover as well. We tested this for a few hours over the past couple of nights and it works flawlessly if you don't use LMC...just takes some practice. Hopefully they'll release a patch soon so LMC doesn't cause issues.

I run two modifier buttons on my HOTAS setup (VKB Gladiator NXT & TWCS Throttle), which basically gives me 3 bindings per button. I also have some other controls laying around that I could map if necessary...such as power levers on my quadrant.

Was riding as CPG in MP earlier. We went to land for a quick break and I decided to go into the WPN UTIL page and put the heli in ground stow mode and stow the TADS. When my pilot got back from his bathroom break, I could take the heli out of ground stow mode, but could not unstow the TADS. The option doesn't show up on the pilot's side. Small issue as I'm sure 99% of people will never press this button, but I figured I'd pass it along.

The rockets seem to be more accurate than the gun at this point, and thus, more effective against soft targets.

A buddy and I were testing this earlier. He was watching the TADS from the back while I searched for targets in the CPG seat. Whenever I would activate LMC mode, the TADS crosshair would move from his POV. Sometimes just a few feet off the target, sometimes by several dozen meters. Seems to be hit or miss when it desyncs, as not 20 minutes before I was using LMC and bumping the MAN TRK stick to move the crosshair with a squad of infantry and it was hitting right on target (same helo, same sortie). Another person in our group pointed us to a list of things to do as a workaround (cycle safe/armed from the pilot's seat, cycle NAV/ATK mode on TSD, change laser codes, switch ACQ source, etc.). Only thing that seems to fix it for us is to keep jumping into a new bird until it works...even then it may work for the first couple of shots or it may work for the duration of the sortie....or not at all.

Not at all. The Huey got me into DCS, and it will always remain my first love. I still plan to fly it regularly.

Same here. As CPG can't fire gun unless in FXD mode, LRFD doesn't work. Can only set ACO to TADS if my sight is set to C-HMD (and vice versa).
