One thing I reallly wanna know how to do.

[Cosmo81]

There is just one thing Im having trouble figuring out. Ok, say for example you target a tank or any other target with the anti tank missile, you know how you have to line it up to shoot ? how do I line it up without having to move the entire helicopter a whole much ? Most of the time I use the tail rotor to line up, but thats way too much force and I completely get off target. I believe there was a part in the producers note videos, and he turned to the target all nice and steady. BTW I have automatic turning/targeting on when doing this, but even when using that im maybe an inch to the right or left off the target, so what am i doing wrong ?

 

thanks

This helicopter have no tail rotor ;)

 

The trick is to use rudder for fine adjustements.

I would start with the tail rotor thing :D

 

Seriously, ligning up LOS with the tele-automat position is another thing that brings proper trimming of the helicopter. Even when using automatic turn to target mode if you fly with some slip angle your LOS will still be off. Try working with the pedals and trim to always fly without or at least with minimum side slip. In other words- keep the ball in the center.

oops yeah lol, rudder sorry.

 

ok here is what i mean

 

see how far iam to get centered to the target ? is the right way to use the rudders here ? cause sometimes its hard to get it centered there, maybe im pushing the rudder too hard.

Just a little more rudder to the left on your pic :)

 

Be gentle, like with your gf ;)

Also, you need to steer the nose (align the LOS) only to get LA (the C symbol on the HUD). After you launch, you can maneuver off the LOS within the gimbal limits of the system.

Auto-turn-to-target mode always leaves the target slightly offset so you must fine tune the alignment of the nose to get the Vikhr within launch parameters.

Be very very very soft with the rudder....

I find zooming the pit after aquiring target gives me much larger HUD making it easier to get in a fireing postion.

Hi,

The exact same thing happens to me, it must be engineered in for the pilot to see and verify the target before he shoots. Remeber this is no Apache with a longbow radar, Thats later:D

No its not. only the AH64a is in as a flyable. (2 years away :()
