Direct access to George commands

[Smashy]

Can the individual George commands be exposed in a way that will allow direct binding to them?  Heatblur has done this with most, if not all, of the available Jester commands.

A quick use example - sitting in the front-seat, it would be cool to hit a single key and have George in the backseat set the aircraft's heading to what the TADS is looking at.  How it works now is: open AI menu wheel -> verify/select CMBT mode -> command "up" on the menu.

Such a feature would probably work well with Voice Attack too.

Controlling George the CP/G with voice attach, no problem.

Controlling George the Pilot with voice attack, very difficult. As stated elsewhere, the Kiowa is a great example of how this can be done beautifully.

George control is absolutely not intuitive.

In combat environment, if we take control of the aircraft in the CPG position (what I mostly do now to avoid confusion with pilot AI menu) , we don't have access to the CMWS options because the menu is not accessible.

It is in the George AI menu.

I know this. But George AI menu is not accessible when you take command of the aircraft.

Ahh, I was unaware of that. I've never taken controls in the front seat with George sitting in the back seat, only when I've had a multiplayer human back there.

I fly 100% in the front. 

80% with George flying for me whilst I target and tell him where to casually fly using the menu system.  I take control for take off and landing and any quick actions.  Often I'll also fly like the FA-18 - flying manually AND targetting.  That is interesting !

My macros are set to assume the comms rose is up and starts on flight mode.

Sometimes the macro may skip a selection.  Many a time I've turned off my flares by mistake.

Having each command seperate would be SO useful.

+1 please.
