George AI Helper Missile Trajectory and Lockon Settings??

[Semaphore]

Having real difficulty with George selecting LOBL/LOAL and Hi/Lo/Dir for Hellfires...

I have rebound my controls, moving George from Stick to Collective so its not a controller issue.  I have also confirmed there are no conflicts with other controllers including Keyboard.

The Issue is - a short press will only 'sometimes' change between LOAL and LOBL... and likewise a long press for Trajectory will only sometimes change to Hi/Lo/Dir.  When I can change one, I can not then change the other and vice versa.  But then occasionally, it all works fine..but only momentarily and reverts back to not allowing mew to change things.  

Working the other way selecting Weapon, number of rounds and rockets works perfectly, proving its not the controller.

I have also checked my buttons in VPC Joystick Tester and all looks OK.

HELP?

Hi, 

please if possible include a short track replay example, you can save one when you exit a mission. 

Not having any problems here selecting in the menu, but George does currently have a LOAL issue where is is not always engaging, that will be fixed in the next patch 

thanks

are you using modifiers by any chance with the george AI menu?

I will get a track replay and post as soon as get back on the PC...  with regards modifiers - No, i do not have any for George, just one HAT on a VirPil Collective Grip.

Just to troubleshoot this a bit:

If George is set to LOBL-DIR, you must first press right-short to switch to LOAL before you are able to select LO or HI. Conversely, if he is set to LOAL-HI or LOAL-LO you need to press right-long again until you cycle back to DIR before you are able to select LOBL again.

Does that solve the problem?

Hi @BIGNEWY please find attached a rough track for issues with George and LOAL?LOBL etc

 

Hopefully this will help discover my issue other than me being useless as a Gunner

Thank you... I will give this a go and then report back... unfortunately, i need to dash as got another appointment to attend to. Fingers crossed.. yours is the solution and its being me all along and not a config erroror something.

Cheers...

Can one use LOAL and LOBL in all trajectory modes?

At the moment LOBL only seems to allow DIR shots. I don't know if this is WIP or correct as is. I would *guess* that it is correct though, as I would expect the missile seeker to lose view of the lased target point while being lofted in HI or LO profiles.

I’ve just been reading the manual… I believe now that Hi and Lo trajectory are only for LOAL to shoot the missile in a way as to allow it to catch a laser designating source…  from what I have just read, and as you say, LOBL is only in Direct trajectory, in other words, the Apache can see the target and can laser designate it. 
 

Will put the theory to the test later but now makes more sense why I can’t select anything other that Direct when in LOBL mode.
