Hotdognz Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 The new FM is lovely she is a joy to fly again, George can hold a hover, and we got 1200 rounds of ammo. The bad the IAT Auto bug is a really bad bug to slip though testing, there will be a lot of players who wont even see the fix for this so the TADS works and will just consider the Apache broken, one you know what to do than its back to normal.

Hotdognz Posted May 18, 2023 Author Share Posted May 18, 2023 IAT bug and work around So with the Apache when you start it up you will notice that the TADS is scanning the area, you try to tell George to lock on to a target and he wont, you jump in the front seat and hit TADS on the LH grip and the TADS is still scanning and, you cant control it. To fix this you need to at some point jump in to the front seat and on the LH Grip put the IAT switch upper right to O = Off. The bug is the Apache starts with it in Auto mode (4 bar scan) and George does not switch it to off, you need to do this for him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone finds other instances in which the LST switch is moved to the Auto or Man positions without player deliberately setting it to those positions, please report it in the Bugs section of the AH-64D forum. 5 Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man.

wired521 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 (edited) I did a cold start this morning and ran into this issue (laser tracker was in auto and I had no control over the TADS). For context I run both seats. All I had to do was set the laser tracker mode switch to off. Edited May 18, 2023 by wired521 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, this has been reported. It is happening during manual start sequences and auto-start sequences. George is switching it to AUTO during his start-up checklist.

krazyj Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 can confirm cold start does indeed make George go nuts lol. would be great if he actually used the scan to call out target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thodre Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 (edited) Thanks so much guys - i still have the problem the rf-missiles mostly hit some yards behind the target. Anyone with this problem too? edit: Scratch RF-missiles. All Hellfires hit long now for me. Edited May 18, 2023 by thodre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been testing and I've gotten George to hit more consistently if my speed is at or near a hover. Get to speed, though, and he starts missing left and right.

That's the explanation, I was doing sp mission and let Georg to the hoovering and I took the shots, worked perfectly...so I was ready for some MP action, I did the flying, no hoovering, and George the shooting...missed almost every shot so I guess I need to try hoovering. |AMD 7800x3D | 64GB DDR5-3600| GTX 4090 | Virpil Stick, Collectiv, WW MIP, WW Throttle, MFG Crosswind V2 | Windows 11 64-bit | SSD Samsung | 4K LG Oled 48 | Oculus Q3 | Simlab based Cockpit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedlike. Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 i just finished palying nearly 4 hours on rotorheads, i can confirm george is realy bad with the RF hellfires, my guess is he starts lasing before he has the TADS propperly over the enemy, i can confrim tho that taking over the CPG i can still hit targets flawlessly even going 120kn with george flying i always had issues with gorge just not beeing that good, even with the laser hellfires, i just wish he could use IAT, my solution to fix his current behavior would be make him slew over target -> IAT -> Lase -> Fire so TLDR, the missiles are fine, george is not 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moxica Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Been loving this version a lot, but George has been falling out of the air un-pleasantly many times. He seem to be in love, drunk, or depressed.

Floyd1212 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Keep an eye on his laser tagging and if it doesn't look like he had a good track on the target, wait til he is stable on the target, cycle to No Weapon, then back to Missiles. This will force him to lase again and get a good track for the Lima HF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
