Re-Targeting from the Pilot Seat w George

[KeyserSoze62]

Does anyone have some advice on how to effectively re-target something that you have already engaged , possibly destroyed, from the pilot seat using George? I was working a mission that calls for a Hellfire on some insurgents on the roof of a building.  I target the insurgents and engage which kills all of them. The mission then calls for us to re-engage the building with a second hellfire.  I know I can simply target from the CPG seat and put a second missile on the building but is their any trick or possible way to do this from the pilot seat with George? With no active targets left on the building after the first hit he obviously won't track anything.   Is their any other way to slave George to a target that is already done?

Thanks.

If George already has the TADS slaved to an area, AI Helper Aft Long with the menu open will command George to re-search that LOS (provided the target list is not currently active).

Thanks for your response. I am aware I can have George repeat the search but the issue is there are no active targets left on the building for him to track. The mission just calls for putting another missile in the building.  I'll have to break down the triggers in the mission to see how it determines you hit the building a second time with no targets there but that's what it requires.

George as CPG will not recognize buildings, bridges, obstacles etc. as targets. So he can‘t fire on them. You will need at least one insurgent left alive on the building for your second attack to work.

from the pilot seat you could just fire rockets yourself….if they will destroy the building I’m not sure…

Thats an interesting dilemma! Especially if you cant finish the mission unless you use a Hellfire to finish the job (not sure the rockets would qualify?) I will be following this one. Maybe its a fault of the mission design? Interesting!

No the mission is based on a historical event so its doable.  It just requires switching to the CPG seat to send the additional Hellfires.  I was hoping someone had a neat trick to send a hellfire from the pilots seat through George AI when there is no active target for him to track.

Rats, was hoping there was a work around.

I don’t CPG, controls aren’t even set up but that’s my choice. Oh well.

You're missing out on a lot awesomeness if you're not using the CP/G controls mate.

I strongly advise you to give it a go (the basics are really simple to learn as well)

I have trust issues thanks but I’ll stay in the back seat.

Hmm. Consider making one of the insurgent infantry immortal. You could possibly have them be immortal for the first strike, then maybe turn the immortal off a few seconds after the strike. That could let you reengage with the 2nd hellfire to kill them and proceed?
