@BIGNEWY Hi, is this something in the pipeline to be fixed for FLIR issues?

Done some testing and you can see a white hot exhaust after approx 1min then the vehicle is fully white by 2-3min, but why are the skuds white when the vehicle is cold, do they heat the missles? null

I did wonder that, and would explain why they were cold, but seems a bit silly that they start up the engines to move after their mate is blown up, then turn the engine off again lol

Hi, I did a mission last night, bombing some T80 and T90 tanks with some support trunks but when using FLIR they were not white hot, they just looked normal. The mission had some mist/fog so not sure if this would effect things. The vehicles were stationary until a bomb dropped then the other ones moved and stopped again. Thanks

Slowing to a hoover has been a big issue for me since the start, although ATT hold seemed to help stabilize the process a bit but since the last update this hold no longer helps, just seems to make things worse if anything. I am hoping the next update with ALT hold will help. I have spoken to Wags who thinks its a hotas issue as he has no issues. I don't know though as my mate is a helo pilot and uses the same hotas a me and he also has issue. We can also fly the other helos without issue. Lets see how things progress as it develops more...

I want this map, but will have to wait for a free trial to pop up in the future to ensure I can run it with the missions I typically run on my other maps.

Got both the 18 and Apache, and tempted to get the A10 just to fill the gap between them. Enjoy them all.

Same process in both seats, just need to figure out where to look. Its not complicated.

Works fine for me in VR once I figured out where to look at when aligning. I also use both eyes so the normal process doesn’t work anyway. For me I don’t even turn on the light to align I just look a tad bit below it and set it there. I then ask George to look at a target in front of me to check its lined up. If not I repeat until it is. Once you figure out what works for you its quick.

Hi, On my TSD I can see the threat rings when the threat is deactivated. For example I have some SA8’s on my test mission that are activated with comms radio trigger, but when in the Apache I see them on the TSD before I activate the group. I go to F10 map to double check and they are not visible as expected. Any info needed let me know. Thanks

If you have the Apache George can spot them easily, way way way before I can even see them, then chuck a hellfire in to take him out

Appreciate your thoughts guys, its given me some useful tactics and things to think about in these situations.

Hi, Just interested to see how someone would handle this situation. Your flying along at 130 or so with the controls all trimmed out and your looking around for enemy targets whilst on route to your next waypoint, then you spot 2 enemy vehicles approx 6km in front of you, they are on the outskirts of a forest so you didn't see them previously... Do you try to slow down quickly to a hover to take them out, do you bank left or right and get some distance first, or do you keep going but slow down a bit, or something else? Thanks

Good point, I recall seeing a video of that on YT

No worries, I will see what I can do

What would you consider too large, as for example it might not happen until an hour into the mission (just thinking when I might need to rearm or might get killed and have to respawn)... If this is way too long I will see if I can setup a test mission with targets close by to save time.

Nice didn't think of using that, I guess you can put it into a trim then use these to fine tune it?

Not that I have found, but you can get around it by putting a solider on top of the building or right next to it, takes a lot of shots though to destroy. Also I don't recall seeing Hellfires ever being used IRL against a building? Fired into one to take out the people inside of it yeah, but not take one down...

I had the issue last night, but when I ended the MP server (Leave Server) to save the track file it instead took me back to the MP menu not the usual mission complete screen. Any idea how I need to finish a mission to get the track file? I was doing a Liberations mission so maybe that is why the normal screen didn't come up?

1 - Yep I get the big one like he is locking and going to fire, but doesn't fire as there is no laser being fired. 2 - That is kinda working around the issue but handy for testing. I will see if I can do this, although typically this will occur mid mission and I am not sure my mate will want to leave his Apache and jump in mine to test?? I will do some SP and see if it does it that way as well as easier to test. 3 - George locked the target ok, just not lasing. I will include as soon as I can replicate

I use ATT Hold to hold a hover and it works very well, I can be 100% hands free in a hover, but getting into a hover or rotating whilst in a hover is still a nightmare. Using no trim on the pedals is better for rotation in a hover but it does ache my leg after a while so I use center stick which holds it for me, but that makes rotation over sensitive I think as your already on some pedal pressure. I have tried, sometimes it works well and I can do a nice smooth landing exactly where I planned to land, other times its all over the place, no consistency so I tend not to use it

Hi, Not sure if its a known issue but ive had it a few times when doing MP with a mate that after a respawn or rearm George will not lock onto a target, you still get get the solid green box up etc, it all looks normal but he won't fire the laser. Usually another respawn and he's working again. If its not a known issue I will upload a track file once I can replicate it. Thanks.

I can hold a hover perfectly using just att hold and trim, you just have to get it into a hold manually first then flick the trim (center one on stick and pedals) and att hold and you can sit there hands free in a hover, its awesome. Next i need a way to fire the missiles myself from CPG in MP which is hopefully coming.

I think Wags mentioned it in a video or I read somewhere that they are looking at MP switching for the Apache.

Nah no track, I got around it by lowering the temp of the mission
