Floyd1212 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 If you want to shoot the gun with your helmet sight, select HMD as your sight (not FCR) so the gun will track your head movements, then WAS the gun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this normal or am I missing something? I can fire the gun before I turn on the FCR but after I can not. The gun with track and shoot at whatever is targeted by your selected sight. Valid sights are helmet, TADS and FCR. If you select FCR as sight, the gun won't shoot if the ballistics are impossible (ELEVATION LIMIT / AZIMUTH LIMIT for the gun) or if there is no target selected as NTS (LOS INVALID). The same reasoning applies when selecting TADS as sight. the gun will shoot at what the TADS is looking at, not your helmet. As for being able to shoot with FCR as sight but before starting your first scanburst, that seems like a bug.

Beirut Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Been watching some tutorials and I have the FCR going from the back seat, granted I'm using a Tickle-Me-Elmo level of sophistication with the chopper, but what a beast. Five or six tanks on one pass is pretty smooth. What a techno killer. I think I'm caching the Apache bug. My poor Ka-50 is feeling so neglected. Mind you, for a low and fast hammering, I still prefer the Blackshark. 1 Some of the planes, but all of the maps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalcoGer Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) What I find most frustrating is that When there is a column or group of vehicles, it is impossible to distinguish anything. it's just a yellow blob. When there is a yellow blob, I can't tell what NTS and ANTS is. When there is a yellob blow, I can't tell which unit I have already shot at. when re-scanning effective engagement is impossible because I can't distinguish which of the shot-at markers correspond to which radar return, and even if I could, the NTS button or manual selection of targets doesn't work in continuous mode. It's impossible to know which units have been hit or not. Really what needs to happen is, in order of priority Multicrew FCR sync LINK TADS to FCR NTS ZOOM RMAP might help a tiny bit, especially for closer targets and should be relatively straight forward to implement. it's literally the same as GTM, just the radar returns need to be drawn in different spots. A workaround is to use the TSD in PAN mode and zoom way in. But that's tedious and reduces SA by a great deal, especially with threat rings already marked out or when using the digital map for terrain avoidance. C-Scope would be neat, but not crucial.

AstonMartinDBS Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) Instead complaining about missing features of this early access AH-64D we should be happy about the current released basic FCR features, which was a really nice christmas present. I'm looking forward to the zoom function and the LINK mode as well, but we have to be patient.

This is what I do, but like you said, I do have to zoom in and out a lot based on what I am doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of a workaround until ZOOM functionality arrives is to zoom the TSD onto the area of your targets, maybe with your map set to SAT or DIG, as I often find doing this makes it easier to break out targets if they're too clustered together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
