What target are you targeting George?

[Carda]

As I prefer flying my Apache with the TADS off (FPS loss when switched on), I can tell what target George is targeting when I select the target in the list using his UI helper. But when there is only one target he calles 'target locked' or something but how do I know what kind of target he is aiming/looking at?

Thanks in advance

I am assuming you mean that you fly with the PNVS off, as the pilot has no real control over TADS.

No, I see what the OP is getting at, and he is right.

He doesn't want to display the TADS as a video source because it eats his FPS. The issue seems to be that whenever you ask George to scan an area for targets, and there is only one target available - he will immediately lock and store that target without giving you a list - he'll just lock it, and you have no idea what it is from the pilot's perspective.

I think this is tied with the well-recognised problem that George doesn't identify targets.

So to the OP I would say you only have two solutions... either switch on the TADS video feed for a moment and identify the target, then switch it off again. Or, wait until ED have implemented an identification function for George. I can't see it happening soon though, given Petrovich still hasn't got it either.

Thank you both for your input. Indeed @LooseSeal that was the problem I was having. I'll opt for a quick TADS on/off when that situation occurs next time however that wasn't the solution i wished for but it has to do. 

We need some Janes Longbow 2 developers on this really fast
