Cued Line of Site Reticle Does Not Slew to Locked Target

[MorrisTheCat]

Hi, as noted above when I use George to engage enemy targets he will indicate that the target is locked and stored however his Cued LOS reticle does not move.  It always stays fixed in the middle of my display inside the heading tracker.  Does anyone know if there’s a setting I’m missing?
 

I’m still able to consent to fire and he will launch the hellfire and hit the target but it would be nice if the Cued LOS reticle showed where he’s locked on.  Thanks!

I have the same problem when I am doing Cold and Dark start up. I believe that this has something to do with one of the settings in the MPDs? The same happens in MP as well with my friend.

I haven't yet managed to find it.

Have you set your ACQ to TADS?

Stupidly no!  I got this few minutes ago and I was about to amend my post! I feel embarrassed now!  

I though the ACQ mode was the same for the CPG... (that I should change CPG's mode as well!)

Thank for the reply though!

Thanks.  I tried switching it the Acquisition ?SKR and it seemed to work for me.  What's the difference between TADS and ?SKR ?

?SKR is the Hellfire missile's seeker. Kind of a poor man's Laser Spot Tracker, as mentioned by Casmo.

Yup. From what I understand SKR is used primarily when another unit is lasing for you. It allows you to see the point that the missile is tracking regardless of whether your own TADS is looking at it.

I see.  Thanks guys that’s helpful to know

Is the correct procedure for this to select cpg sight from the video menu and then TADS?

The VIDEO page doesn't allow you to set your ACQ. To the best of my knowledge it's merely a sight. ACQ, as far as I know, must be set on either the WPN or TSD pages in order for the Cued Line Of Sight reticule to show the desired ACQ point in the IHADSS.

Am I able to set up the cued line of sight reticle to show the targets George is looking at from cold and dark in Multiplayer? Since I can't access the cpg seat in MP?

Yes. In the PLT seat all you need to to is select TADS as your ACQ. TSD or WPN page, R6 (ACQ) and then B6 (TADS). The CLOSR on the IHADSS will then show George's locked target. If you want video of the target as well then open the VIDEO page and select TADS on the right (R1 if I remember correctly.) You can then press TADS at T6 to hide the menus and get the TADS video on that MFD.
