George / Memory Problem

[Spankinvicar]

Hey..

Just came back to relearn the Apache after about 6 / 7 months of not flying it but ive come up against a problem that I cant seem to figure out.  When Im flying as the pilot and activate George he dosent select a weapon, (If I remember rightly he used to select the gun as default ?) anyway when I use my 4way switch to select the weapon it just stays as no weapon in the George screen.  Any ideas as to what im doing wrong.? 

P.s.. I am activating the master arm and taking the guard off with the "G" key. 

Thanks in advance for any help.

George now defaults to no weapon/laser. AI control helper short left press should cycle through his weapons.

The no weapon/laser function in George AI helper was implemented some time ago.

It allows George use selecting and  lasing a target on command without a weapon set by him. I use this option very often for George selecting a target but shooting the hellfire manually as pilot in LOAL High. After a few seconds I pop the Helo up from cover and order George to lase the target. Just gives me a bit more manual control on attack.

Like NeedzWD40 said, are you using [George Hat] Short Left to cycle him through his weapons, or are you WASing the weapon for yourself in the back seat?

Telling George what weapon system to use is different than the system you are using from the back.

Yeah this is what I was doing mate. I was WASing, thinking this worked for the front seat too.  Thanks for your help Lads.

how are you accomplishing this with no weapon commanded?

I have wased the hellfire missile as pilot and shoot it manually via weapons trigger.

The hellfire do not need anymore be wased to George as CPG with the no weapons target/ lase function in George helper AI menu. Just order him target a thread as usual and lase it. The weapon can be wased by yourself as pilot and you can shoot it.

only difference is, you will not see a TOF message in IHADSS or TADS video image. So you have to estimate time on impact on target.

somehow i managed to miss this addition in the patch notes, thanks!

[corbu1]

It was already added some time ago…not sure but must have been somewhere in November or Dezember 22. Wasn‘t not much published about it as well. But it‘s a nice addition and offers some new possibilities.
