New George AI Confusion

[chardly38]

In the pilot seat from a cold start the George AI menu states Ready System in red. Thats all I get. What is the new procedure to get George to work after a cold start.

From a cold start the menu states. No power in red. This is what I get. There is no command to start. I fly from the pilot seat only. I use George to find me targets so I can engage them. So this update removes the players ability to startup form the pilot seat and have George work?

No power is solved by starting the engines.

Then he can start systems

Read the manual.  Page 601.

ED did a great job with keeping the Apache manual updated.

My god the new George menu is messy to use, ED needs to follow the Heatblur Jester menu format it would be so so much easier to use with all the new options.

...yeah, and there's still no option to enable the LST from the pilot's seat...

BIG thanks! I just got the module and this update landed before my second ever flight.

I also dont like the George UI, now it is even more complicated and uncomfortable.

There are so much better examples out there - in fact: Heatblurs F4 way of doing it and of course Polychops Kiowa UI.

I never had consent to fire bound to anything.

Doesn't work well with mapping in voiceattack.  Had every function in the old menu fully mapped using only the W, S, A and D keys, including changing speeds and elevation.  Can't figure this one out fully.  Especially the new search functions.

Just spent an hour flying with the new George AI in the Caucus map, instant action, weapons range.

I basically had the manual open beside me and went through all the different ways to search (direct, area and point) with no weapons then weapons to get used to the lay out.

Shot things with SAL/RF missiles and the gun.

It's pretty good once you get used to it, there where a few things I couldn't get to work but will read the manual again and do the mission again.

Like all study level aircraft in DCS nothing is as simple as getting in and flying and shooting but with enough practice and understanding of what the systems are asking of you it becomes  a lot clearer.

This is my impression as well.

Having flown the Tomcat from Heatblur for many hours, I don't think the jester menu is superior to the George's interface in the Apache module, for the Apache module. The button presses short and long are sometimes superior to head tracking on that Jester menu where you'd want to use it the least as possible binding Jester's actions on the keyboard or Hotas.

Here on the Apache is a quicker interface for quick action with button presses and less room for mistakes.

Coming from a virtual Tomcat driver, I like it.
