I uninstalled, rebooted, re-installed the AH-64 Apache, and now at least I can manually put the laser on a target and hit it, still haven't got a lock, I move too much (cannot stay still enough to stay on target) so for me it must be locked. I guess I have to put Solved as far as getting the laser on a target and hitting it. Solved, uninstall, reinstall, following everyone's help in this thread, and others. Still need to learn a few things. Uninstalling and re-installing wasn't a big deal and I had saved copies of my settings and it saved most of my settings. I still had to change a few settings, but no big deal. Thanx all. Got up very early 3 a.m. and am going back to rest.

With VR, just about everyone I know and myself had to dumb down our settings a bit, compromise with video settings. Not real bad, experiment with more medium settings in video in DCS. in the fixed wing the FPS should be much more, the Apache is the worst in FPS.

I want to give a track, but i am trying to make sure I don't miss something and look like a complete idiot... also, thread should say Laser works but cannot lock target with laser on locked target, and the weapons lock on the laser.

I know I need to give a track, but I finally see lase on the hud, but the weapons have never followed and locked on the lase. I use VR, so maybe this is my issue. But, I don't hear anyone else with VR saying they have a problem.

pure clients is curse. It does not seem to be well thought out. IMHO

I will see if I can get a track to post... I the THIS thing 100x.

cannot get Apache to lase from front seat. I have read the manual, followed directions in Youtube videos. U can fly it, shoot from both seats, kill targets from back seat. Cannot get laser to fire at all from front seat. Any ideas? Thanx

the trim sends the helo into wild movements.. up and it goes woo00--- up! then levels... at least when I tried it.

FYI the DCS update Utility does not have the AH-64 Apache in the aircraft / modules listed, at least I have searched the latest version I could find.

ok, I am going to get a new Xbox controller to replace my Xbox One controller pad. Mine is USB, to replace it which one would be best for il-2 and DCS, which will supplement my Warthog HOTAS ? i.e. : wireless? different buttons ,layout, etc..? I am not real familiar with any others.. Thanx. Update, only issue is the primary triggers cannot be added, but apparently that is the XBox side of the issue, not DCS.

I have controls setup, the procedure is what i want. I can also move controls to different devices. Thanx.. I will make this a copy, and add to the kneeboard

Hope I made it clear, the problem was the app not loaded. it has the driver stuff for the XBox one controller. Fixed thanx.

have both Warthog and Xbox One pad want to both fly and use weapons in Apache front seat.. However, I have tried so hard to use both controls with the Apache. I watched video, I used the Xbox buttons setup info for it. I have tried both setting up controls for the flying from front seat and the weapons. I can fly from the front seat. I cannot get it to both lock the targets and then fire from the front seat. I can do all successfully from the backset. I really like have the Xbox one controller (USB). i watched so many videos and seen so many forum posts about settings. Is there an absolute printed instruction, step by step, without unnecessary info I can use? Oh yeah, I use VR. Thanx.

I added keys to not only my Warthog, but also an Xbox controller. On the warthog I did a 2nd layer with the 14+** keys to add more buttons, and think the helo does not like adding the 2nd function keys. I am going to try to remove those, some on TEDACS. They don't work as advertised with the Warthog.

need tutorial for flying front seat and firing weapons Apache. I see the Youtube videos, some of which are good. But often I don't see (hard to see) some actual button and key presses. I can fly the helo from the front seat, but tracking and locking and firing are not so easy. I also use VR, which maybe part of the issue, I am not sure. Any checklist, or the best source of help? Thanx

my f-18 did ctd yesterday night while flying back home to the carrier... really pissed after the patch I was really kind of jazzed that more stuff was supposedly fixed....

it is slow,, I have a 6 gb sec router, I get 120 down/120 mbs/up, and it is at 10 mb/sec from DCS ! Sad..

My Warthog stick had a bad cable in the 4 inch extension and had some bad key presses.. some of which no doubt caused the gear to open at some wrong times. I still think the door issue is b.s. though, if a squad was going to a fight and they couldn't drop because of some sheet metal I would be pissed off. I replaced the extension cable and all is well.

guess I didn't state the controller issue, I thought about it and not long after I remembers I didn't have my XBox app starting with windows anymore. To run the controller that must be running. I forgot to I had remember shortly after I had forget about saying it here in my post.

For a long while J-tac has not been working, at least on our servers (AKA Wardogs) We have lots of talented people, scripts, F-10 scripting, Combined Arms, and in the past it was working, then maybe during the year sometimes, it seems to be only partially working, but yet never fully. Example, call J-tac, it answers says the laser is on, mission ready after reading back the nine-line, and all the other stuff. But then either stops responding or the laser does not fully do it's job and the weapons never locks on it at launch. I just tried again after this latest Open beta update, and it stil not working. Also, I (we) are trying to find a 'J-Tac for Dummies' manual. Any documents or info that might help find the issues? Thanx. (I am not sure if this is the right forum area to post this) update, I found a pdf for the J-Tac someone made.. and some Youtubes... stil lwould like to find one for dummies

No they didn't burn anything.. all that came out that far back was the very hot exhaust gases of the JP-4. (Navy was JP-5). I spent a zillion hours around the aircraft.

That's what I wanted to know, thanx!

immersion with VR, and looking over at another computer is about the only way I can find notes or a guide while flying

??? not really.... everything is planned and there isn't always a spare for everything, one issue can throw a whole plan into crap...

a bird strike, a golden bb, anything that tweaks a door, or lose it causes a whole mission to be cancelled... it should be the pilots call, not a $2.00 switch.
