Senchay Posted March 22 Posted March 22 (edited) Hello together. Ive flow the Apache now for around 120 hours, so im not really new anymore. But since a few days (maybe since update?) i often have issues selecting the TADS after a while in flight. I just cant see the reason. Sadly i dont have a track because the last few times it happened in Mission editor Prepare Mission. but ive got it in the War for Palmyra Campaign too. I only a have a pic availabe. We can ask different: In which situation i would be prevented from choosing TADS (either by key bind or by the clickspot on the Stick). In this mission it worked fine until i had gunner selected for a few shots. Then i switched back to Pilot and found that im stuck to the FCR, no matter what. Well, i can use Up/P-HMD, Left/FCR and Down/Link. But Right/TADS does nothing. In Pilot seat that is, like mentioned. Any help would be nice, thanks Maybe i just forgot something over night, or im doing something different than usually, its not impossible ^^. That CRKT confuses me a bit. I have the feeling it has to do with that and im locked out bec gunner is using it? But how can i get out of that mode again? If that is the issue. Edited March 22 by Senchay
LorenLuke Posted March 22 Posted March 22 The back seat (pilot) cannot use or control the TADS. Only the front seat can. The switch for TADS in the back seat is there so that the helicopter manufacturer can use the same part for both cockpits, but the pilot's TADS switch is not connected to anything.
Senchay Posted March 23 Author Posted March 23 Then i just got confused. Because it happened a few days ago from the gunner seat too, so my brain probably thought im running into the same again. But your right of course, it never showed tads from backseat. Lets ignore that mistake and assume we are in gunner seat. Thanks btw. What would restrict me from switching to TADS in gunner seat?
corbu1 Posted March 23 Posted March 23 You are sure you don‘t have FCR selected as active sight in CPG station when trying to use TADS via sight select switch?

lBlackMambal Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Hmmm, could you explain a little more what actually happens? Is the problem that even if you select TADS that you can't reorient the system with the manual tracker (RHG) or the rocker switches (TEDAC)? Did you have a look at the position of the NVS Mode switch? Eventually it's not set to "Off".

If that is the issue. are you using the collective switch or the TADS switch? The gunner only has the ability to use the TADS, so you know. It also says CRKT FXD because thats the acquisition source its on at the moment. It should be on HMD or FXD. 17 hours ago, LorenLuke said: The back seat (pilot) cannot use or control the TADS.

He doesnt have control of it. Can also use it for night navigation.

Nevertheless you actually can reorient the TADS from the pilots seat - though that only works if you fly the Apache with a human gunner. Otherwise if you switch to CPG seat and slave to PHS, the lock will be deactivated once you get back to the pilot seat. Edited March 23 by lBlackMambal
