Hellfire trajectory enabled or not?

Is the trajectory for the hellfire missiles working yet? I select high or low or direct and don't see any real difference in the actual trajectory when  fired.

Are you shooting in LOAL or LOBL?  The DIR/LO/HI trajectory setting only affects LOAL shots, not LOBL.  If the missile can see the laser at the time of launch, it will be a LOBL shot.  The missile constraints box will be large, instead of small like it is in LOAL mode.

is there a way of changing trajectory when using FCR ? sometime targets above you wont be hit as the trajectory is to low.

As far as I know, you cannot manually set the trajectory for the radar Hellfires (AGM-114L).  It should use a relatively high trajectory that arcs to the left or right if the target is far enough away, otherwise it should use a direct trajectory.  I'm not sure what the range cutoff is for that.  Either way though, there isn't an equivalent to something like the LOAL-HI trajectory with the laser Hellfires, where they climb way up immediately after launch to clear obstacles in front.

To expand upon this: moving target with LOBL will arc straight toward the target, static target LOAL will curve left or right, <2.5km will be LOBL with a small arc. Missile maximum altitude is based upon launch altitude, ie if you're at 5,000ft, the missile climbs above that reference altitude.
