Mad_Shell Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 When playing as pilot, with George as CPG, displaying the TADS video on a MFD can be useful for target ID and situation assessment. It's a bit frustrating that a long distance, during daytime, George only uses FLIR, and not DTV that allows a better ID, and with superior magnification. A command to ask George to switch between the 2 would be very welcomed. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRothwell Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Hey all, Been trying to learn to control this awesome module for the last week or so, finally think I'm getting somewhere which is cool, still can't throw it around like the Hind yet but getting there. Thanks to ED and the team of advisors that developed this brilliant module! Is there a way to tell George to switch the TADS from FLIR to TV during the day? Quite often I like to have the tads relayed onto my MFD and during the day the flir makes it impossible to see vehicles clearly, TV would be much easier, especially when there are friends and foes close to each other. If not, could someone make a cheat mod to enable that keybind from the pilot seat? Like we had with the Tomcat being able to control the lantirn. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Team NineLine Posted March 26, 2022 ED Team Share Posted March 26, 2022 George generally uses what he feels is best in that situation, its possible more control will come for this down the road if a need is there. 1 Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
609_Relentov Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 That would be a nice addition, to add a FLIR/TV command for TADS for George@CP/G. Currently, using George AI (when player as pilot), when you command George to look for targets, when the target list is brought up the U/D/L/R long commands are not being used (hint hint ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Control would be good but so far I have yet to see him use TV mode on the tads during any weather or natural light condition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidrbarnette Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) I’m not sure George uses the TV mode. I’ve flown a good bit at this point and never seen it. I agree that we need a better single player way to ID targets… as it stands now it is early impossible to tell what George is looking at.

Mad_Shell Posted March 26, 2022 Author Share Posted March 26, 2022 I agree, and made a similar post a few days ago: That would really help with target ID. FLIR has worse magnification, and it isn't always as easy to identify shapes and objects compared to DTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uist1 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Been flying a lot in multiplayer and the TADS vid screen is always grey and hard to see target's that George is looking at. Be nice to be able to order him to go BH or WH 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASW Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Seconded! When you fly online, there is no way to move to the CPG seat and change the FLIR to TV. GreyCat_SPb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRothwell Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Maybe someone could make a mod for it to enable the pilot to control the switch between tv and flir from the pilots seat. Anyone know how to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DmitriKozlowsky Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Direct CW02 George to switch TADS from nite IR to day or vice versa. A minor wish is for pilot to have final say in weapons safe/arm. Right now CW02 George arms weapons regardless of pilot station safe/arm. THough I was Field Artillery and not Aviation branch, US Army prefers for vehicle , or aircraft, commader to have safe/arm final responcibility.

THough I was Field Artillery and not Aviation branch, US Army prefers for vehicle , or aircraft, commader to have safe/arm final responcibility. George arms the aircraft when you direct him to target an enemy vehicle in preparation for an engagement. The implied task is that the aircraft needs to be armed for him to do so, because he cannot fire the laser if the aircraft is SAFE. If you want him to allow you to SAFE the aircraft, you need to use the Down Short command in the AI menu, which will cause him to stop targeting and slave the TADS to FXD forward, and you can SAFE the aircraft. But if you direct him to target something, he will once again ARM the aircraft so he can use the laser if necessary, or employ a weapon. Aircrews would never fly around with the aircraft set to SAFE if enemy contact was likely, the aircraft is always Armed when performing pre-combat checks. Further, if you are directing George from the backseat, the idea is that you are flying the aircraft, and it is standard procedure for AH-64D aircrews (at least in the US Army) that the person not flying is the person responsible for setting the master ARM/SAFE button state. The pilot-in-command does have the final say of when munitions will leave the aircraft, but the master ARM/SAFE button is not directly indicative of that consent. 1 1 Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man.
