AH-64 Lock Tads To Target

[Demonloads]

Hey All

How do i lock my tads to the target i have got in my crosshairs 

 

Thanks

[Looney]

Short answer is, you can't (yet).

 

Long answer, you can stabilize the sight somewhat with the LMC switch, it won't be perfect but there it is.

Thought  that may be the case as i have been using freeze and lmc just wanted to confirm that you couldn't lock it up bit odd that its not in already tbh

 

Thanks anyway bud

For static targets, you can store its location as a point, make it the acquisition source and then slave the tads to it.

When you say "yet", you mean that will be possible in a future update?

 

Thanks!

Image auto track or tracker. But just get good with LMC. If you press LMC once without moving joystick it’ll “lock” in position

So basically some kind of point track will come for the TEDAC?

I had trouble as well..

Do u have to hold down LMC? Or a button press sufficient

You toggle LMC mode on and off with a button press.

When in LMC mode, you want to make tiny adjustments to alter the movement of the crosshairs.  It's almost like a trim mode for the crosshairs.  It will continue in a straight line when you have no input on the axis, and you can nudge it in any direction to change the motion vector.

I found setting a curve on the axis for the mini stick on my XBox controller (maybe 20?) and a small dead zone was cruicial to getting LMC to work nicely, otherwise tiny adjustments were impossible, and it would wander on its own because of drift on the analog stick.

When LMC is OFF then you change the position of the TADS crosshair. When LMC is ON then you change the speed of the crosshair.

Upon pressing the LMC to set it ON sets the crosshair speed to zero which makes the crosshair stationary ("ground stabilized"). When the chopper is moving then this is an easy way to "fix" a position after trying to chase it with LMC off. Just don't forget that with LMC ON it needs really miniscule movement to fine tune the speed of the crosshair.

During LMC mode the motion of the chopper is taken into account to stabilize the crosshair motion.
