When flying the Apache there is an issue with trying to safe the apache arm/safe switch/button after using George AI.

If a user takes off and does not use George AI as a CPG to lase then there is no issue. But if the user then uses George AI CPG to lase targets. The user is then not able to safe the apache. It immediately goes back to Armed and George says "Armed". This is true even when the user tells George AI CPG to stop lasing and closes the George AI menu.

If George is instructed to use the TADS to track and/or engage targets, he will automatically set the aircraft to ARM status so that he can fire the laser if necessary, which cannot be fired while SAFE.

If you wish to set the aircraft to SAFE, press Down-Short using the George AI interface command and he will stop tracking/engaging his current target (if any), and slave the TADS to a fixed forward position. If the aircraft was ARM before you told him to use the TADS, he will leave it set to ARM; if the aircraft was SAFE before you told him to use the TADS, he will return the aircraft to SAFE.

From the DCS: AH-64D Early Access Guide, George AI chapter:

Remember, George is an AI crewmember, so when instructed to perform a task, he will actually perform multiple steps in the cockpit to perform his directed task. Just like a real crewmember, he doesn't need to be told each individual step in performing his duties as the gunner, but it does require you to assign the correct task to him for the given situation. If you wish to SAFE the aircraft, you must tell him to stop performing targeting duties.
