Can't get any lock on infantry weapons to work

[swatbot26]

Yes, I'm running ACE, RHS and CUP. I have read numerous articles and threads talking about this, but none of their solutions worked for me and I don't know what else to do. I can get the lock on feature to work fine with vehicles and stationary weapons, just not with infantry launchers like the Javelin, the Igla, the Stinger, etc and I have no idea why at this point

Do you press the tag key, too? Should be T by default.

So I gotta press both Tab and T? At the same time?

IIRC Ace changes how some launcher works, you MUST use thermals (builtin, press N), and hold TAB (or whatever key you assigned, I believe ace defaults to tab) to lock, keep target inside the frame, once locked then fire.

Using mods if this doesn't work, check for ACE Compatibility patches. IIRC CUP has some for vehicles and weapons

No, only T, aim at your target, and hit T.
I'd test it for you but, unfortunately, I cannot at the moment. (Don't have Arma 3 installed on this machine)

Edit: Oh yeah, I think some vehicles or whatever have it bound to R by default.

So, Try the T key or the R key.
Also, those are the defaults, maybe yours are changed.

It has got to be something wrong with my mods then. I can't get any lock on weapons to work, not just the Javelin, but also basic stuff like the Igla (which is why this whole "need to switch to IR and zoom in" doesn't solve the issue).
Problem is, if I try turning on Ace and the Compat mods, it crashes my game with a "z/ace/addons/main/script_mod.hpp not found" error message. And even tho Ace is disabled in my Mod list, my game still appears to be running with Ace on, with the ace wheel and everything... It's so weird

Uninstall ACE.

Ok so after a long and irritating process of elimination, I found out a completely unrelated Russian Aircraft mod was what was causing this issue with Ace, somehow.
Thanks for all your help anway
