Sounds like the same issue as this thread?

If someone from Heatblur popped on here and asked one of us to provide a track, I'm sure someone would, but no one has even acknowledged the bug let alone asked for help trying to track it down. If they want a track they can ask for one, but I’m not about to do someone else’s job for them when as far as I know they already see the problem. Not like it’s complicated to repro. I’m seeing the problem in Single Player too.

I came here looking to see if anyone else was having this problem. Jester is acting odd when it comes to using the LANTIRN. I use the headtrack to Cue Jester and the LANTIRN to QEYEBALLS. He will always turn the LANTIRN to that spot. I can see the targets on the LANTRIN screen. When I ask him to Search for Targets the LANTIRN wont do the circular search pattern but just drags along lazily in the direction we are moving. Occasionally he calls out a target but he doesn't seem to latch on for long and it's a one time thing. I also can't get him to switch to BHOT, same as OP.

Yeah apparently....though more like "Bail out"

Did this ever get resolved? I was trying to figure out why Datalink wasn't working and came across this thread. Turning that setting OFF then ON again helps, thank you.

No worries.

Yeah that restarts the mission in SP. Not respawn.

Last night George was oscillating like crazy so no, I don’t think it’s fixed.

Sometimes I have to mess with the FCR Altitude scan if there are targets definitely in front of me and within range, yet not being picked up by the FCR.

In Single player if you wreck the Helicopter you need to get both the Pilot and Gunner to Eject from the Helo. However if the gunner is dead he cannot leave the Helo. If you go to Briefing and Fly to respawn it just takes you back to the pilot. You need to Quit and restart.

Ok. So mark this as "Unsolved" please. You need both the Gunner and Pilot out of the Apache to respawn, however if one of them is dead, you cannot get them out, and you cannot respawn. (in singleplayer)

Yup. I knew about that one. I should have specified SP. There is a Get new plane - respawn keybind but it doesn't seem to work. Ah, that's strange because I am unable to bind the Eject keybind to any of my HOTAS controls at all. When I saw that I assumed the Eject just didn't work. I wonder if that's a bug. So I tried "Ejecting" as you described and for anyone reading this looking for a solution, Both the Pilot and Gunner need to "Eject" before you can respawn. I appreciate the help @FalcoGer

Since there is no Eject, how do you respawn in the Apache if you're just sitting in a destroyed Helicopter on the ground?

Oh crap. I didn't even realize I had mods.

I don't know if it's the same problem, but I don't want to start a duplicate thread. I am also getting game hangs when trying to respawn in a mission. I have to shut the game down through the Task manager. Tried 2 different missions and a Slow Repair. Still hangs. If it's not the same I can start a new thread.
