Vikhr help
Hi, I'm brand new to flight sims, but I have always been interested in weapons and fighting vehicles/aircraft so I have at least an understanding here. I always enjoyed the helicopters in the "arcade" type games so I thought I would try a sim, and this one is great. I have learned to fly/hover/land pretty decently now, my trouble is with the weapon system, here it is:
I am following this: http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2626185/STICKY_Tutorial_How_to_take_of.html#Post2626185
I am finding the guide to be a lot of help, however I have 2 problems:
1) I cant get the vikhr missle or rockets to fire. I can fire the cannon but not the other weapon systems. For the checklist: Yes, I hit the master arm switch, as I can fire the cannon. I select the outer hardpoints with "Y" which are my Vikhr missles. I uncage the shkval, and engage the helmet mounted sights. I slave the Shkval to my helmet mounted sights, and look for a tank, find one, and lock it up, I see the "TA" but I never get TA-NA. Yes, the helicopter noise is pointed toward them, and the missle lock circle and dot are inside the rectangle target box, right at the tank. I pull and HOLD the trigger, nothing. I try Alt-space, nothing. I only get the "C" authoization with cannons.
I really cant figure this one out.
2: Less of a problem, just irritating. When I slave the shkval to the helmet sight, is there a way to get slow, smooth movement? I have put my mouse on slowest with its built in sensativity button, but its still hard to lock up a far away target, moving it a hair movies the target a few meters, so locking up a tank far away is hard, I have to really concentrate to just move my hand a hair to lock on. Using the keyboard/hat switch isnt precise enough, can I lower the sensativity somehow in game?
