Lasing - what am I doing wrong?


Hammer1-1

Recommended Posts

Select ARM, Select WAS UP for guns, click my trigger guard off, and cycle through first and second stage trigger. The guns fire but no laser. Am I missing something?

Please include a track replay if you continue to have problems

Ok yes I am lasing from the front. Im  doing the 30mm training mission, so I start from there. Im following the commands, but Im not able to get the laser to fire (not getting a cross on the HUD). I am able to get auto ranging for the gun.

 

Ok I think I see what I am doing wrong, theres like 4 different triggers in the cockpit and 3 of them are for the gunner.

make sure master arm is set to arm, it maybe best if you attach a short track replay.

NO I know what I did wrong, I didnt map ALL of the appropriate key binds. Theres left and right CPG station plus the CPG cyclic on top of the pilots cyclic. There are more triggers in the Apache than the mission editor...BUCS trigger,  LHG weapons trigger, RHG trigger, cyclic trigger, pilot cyclic trigger..thats all I could find.

Under GPG controls, LHG needs trigger mapped, RHG needs trigger mapped also, I believe LHG fires weapon and RHG fires laser
