gotcha, thanks. yeah that will be real handy to see what the stabilization computers are doing

so when I press "right control + enter" I only get the TOP LEFT display and not the TOP RIGHT one. However I do get the top right one in the Mi-8. How does one enable the TOP RIGHT display in addition to the top left one?

ok we're getting closer! I'm wanting to know if George will remember a target if he loses it on the TADS. AKA If I'm circling on the battlefield doing multiple attack runs on the same target, will George remember the target without me having to re-select it each run?

hi thanks for your response. however I'm not sure it answers my question. My question is about having George remember the same target for multiple runs. In a saturated battlefield with many enemies it's not feasible to have to scroll through a massive target list when attempting to hit a single target with multiple attack runs. Does my explanation make sense?

Quick q: how does one view the SCAS inputs as shown in Wag's video series? And what exactly is it showing us there? Thanks!

So in a crowded battlefield I'm assigned with attacking a single VIP target (a soft-skin truck). I'm the pilot and George is CPG who is manning the gun. As we approach the battlefield I tap up to get a large target list. I'm having to scroll way down and keep my eye on the TADS to try and find our VIP. I find him and tap "right" to confirm target. I hold "up" to let George he's free to fire. I fly in to begin the attack run and George fires off a burst and misses. I break away to the left and circle back around for a 2nd run. However as soon as TADS loses target lock, George himself seems to have forgotten who our VIP target was that we were just attacking. And I don't have time to scroll scroll through dozens of enemies again to find him in the middle of attacks runs. I want Goerge to continue attacking the same enemy until he is either destroyed or I change targets. Is this possible at the moment? I've had this scenario a couple times. Cheers

this is what I read in the manual. not sure if it works correctly or is super accurate though. Up Short: Commands George to slave TADS to Pilot Helmet Sight (PHS) and search along designated line of sight for targets.

As the title says, I'm having difficulty getting George to slave the TADS to where I'm looking. It's always a few degrees off, which equates to a fairly big distance depending on how far away I am. As shown in the screenshot below, I'm looking dead center of a group of building with red smoke. After commanding George to slave TADS to my helmet, the TADS moves but is way off in the middle of the woods. Anyone know if this is correct behavior?

yeah thats what I thought as well, it had been around for a while. Nothing worse than paying full price for a gadget which then releases a new version a month later

Looking to get a Track IR system as it sounds like it pairs well with DCS. Couple questions for anyone that knows. How old is the current TrackIR 5 system? Anyone know if a TrackIR 6 is on the way? Any better systems than TrackIR for DCS? Thanks!

does that actually work

thanks, i was pretty close!

Working on hellfire firing. Am I correct in that you have to hold the laser button the entire time the missile is in flight? Is there a way to just press a button and have the laser fire, or have the laser fire automatically after firing missile? Having to hold the whole time isn't working well for me, I'm hoping there's a work-around. Thanks!

Looking through the manual but may have missed it: how does one point the TADS to an enemy location and then save that target point for quick recall later? Or like the SPI from the A-10. Thanks! Update: I think I figured it out. On the left hand grip hit the "STORE" rocker switch up. It'll mark a "T01" on the TSD. Then you can make that your ACQ source and recall it when slaving. There are probably more/better ways to do this but it's a work-around for now.

so i was at 80% max weight (as indicated in the armament settings in the ME) and around 1000' MSL and 20c. but the plot thickens, after George was unable to hold an altitude, I took control and circled around and came back for another attempt, but this time I manually hovered it, then switched control to George, who was then able to hold altitude. strange huh

Hey guys. Working on getting George to behave but having trouble getting a hover. As you can see in the screenshot, I want George to hover at 750'. However George not only doesn't want to ascend to 750', he's descending. Are there other qualifications or parameters that need to be set before George can successfully follow orders? Is there a specific weight that the AH-64D has to be under for a hover to work? Thanks

Did I find a bug on the map or is this a bug on my end somehow?

Is there a way to have the flight computer hold a simple heading while flying or hovering?

thanks ill try this out

Any way to ground-stabilize the TAD screen? I can pan, shoot laser, and zoom in and out, however the camera does not keep it's position on the ground. Which button is pressed to Gound-stabilize the camera? Thanks

same issue with wobbliness using twist stick. she'll start spinning to the right, so I give a little left rudder trim, and then she'll spin to the left. just twisting my joystick slightly causes massive oscillations that I don't have in any of the other helo modules. very odd!

thanks. that really helps visibility

Starting the tutorials now and it's hard to see things with the eyepiece in the way. What's the keybinding called to move the eyepiece out of the way until I need it? Thanks!

Can you have the CPG fly straight and level while you're in the pilot seat? He has the necessary controls, so I assume he's qualified. This would be very handy in case you need to be looking around the cockpit at switches or dealing with spilt coffee.

sweet! do you know if its behavior matches Chuck's Guide or will that need to be updated to reflect the new changes?
