EricJ Helicopter Pack

I doubt that makes the issue prevalent. It could very well be, but the way the door guns are setup is that they're turrets, and so that may be confusing the game, as I'm sure the pylon system is for attack helicopters, and such with a pilot or a co-pilot. I could be right, I could be wrong, but at the end of the day that's my only guess with the reason it goes to the door gun at default. Mind you I never asked BIS about it (I don't know anybody though they did look at my LinkedIn profile once) and so it's a mystery, but I think my theory is right

Hey @EricJ, you ever notice any elevation and rotation indicators when using the side door guns? I think they're being flagged in a similar manner to, say, the Blackfoot's chin gun. It may explain why the door gunners can control pylon weapons.

I see

No it's not the bird, it's the munition. I'm having issues locking on period, and I think the targets have to be moving to generate heat for the IR sensor to lock on. From experience in pub servers the Macers work fine when other people fly them, but when I practice myself on a personal map they don't work for me. They don't lock on and methinks it has to be an IR target. If you're firing at stationary targets training, then they won't work. I have the same issues regardless of platform. So it's not the bird, it's the game mechanics with the weapons.

Is anyone aware of any issues related to guided munitions for the SH-60's? Any missile (SCALPEL, DAGR, and FIR APKWS) I mount to the pylon can't seem to acquire any targets (note: I've slaved them to the pilot's seat every time)

Me? No not really, I have a group already, and don't fly the DAPs other than piloting them and to fix bugs and errors.

@EricJ, so you need a player co-pilot to operate the missiles? :)

Due to how things work, the pilot slot for the cannon armed DAP can only use the cannon. If I slave it to the copilot slot, it can fire in any direction. Unfortunately, it's all I can do given how the game works. So it's not an issue of the helo, it's just how the game works and me needing to keep it forward-firing. It's not a single-player helicopter, unfortunately.

Helloo! I can't seem to use the weapons of the MH-60M DAP, all I can use are the cannons. Am I missing something? Thank you!
