George-as-CP/G - laser Hellfires in LOAL HI/LO trajectory

[Smashy]

I'm having problems getting George to launch a Hellfire in LOAL HI/LO.  I'm guessing it's because I can't get him to switch his acquisition source to a point from the nav database so the target is always out of constraints.  Is this just the way it is?

It's not a huge deal but just something I'm curious about after fiddling around with it a bit this afternoon.

He should lase during the last few seconds before impact. When I last used him this way, I had him acquire the target before doing anything else. I'll have to (painfully) test again to see if he still works that way.

Did I mention how painful I find George to use?

LOAL LO and HI trajectories really mostly applicable to "Remote" engagements in which another platform is lasing the target instead of the launching aircraft. When self-lasing in LOAL, DIR trajectory is sufficient.

On that note, George currently does not have the ability to select a point in the database to cue the constraints box for a LOAL shot using LO or HI. Since DIR is sufficient for a self-lasing LOAL shot, I recommend just using DIR for the time being.

However, if you do intend to fire on a target using LO or HI while someone else is lasing, you can do this all from the Pilot seat yourself.

I'm just starting up with the Apache and if I have to be honest, George as pilot or CP/G isn't terrible.  The interface is clean and concise and does about 80% of what I need.  He obviously isn't as good as a good human crewmate but he is probably better than a lot of randos you'd find on some of the busier MP servers.
