Can't lock the target
« on: 30 Oct 2004, 03:26:27 »
It's about the great ZU-23 AA gun (that one on tires) from VIT_APC_pack1.4 no whining edition  :)

When I want to attack it with a chopper, the ZU23 become white on my radar and I can't lock it.
I know targets are white on the radar when they don't move... and the ZU-23 is a stationary gun...

Anyway, is there a way to fix this?

I'm pretty sure targets become white when they are either disabled, empty, or unaware of an enemy/inactive.
Once fired upon, they should turn red cause they should recognize you... :P

It should still lock target though unless you're using the tab button right?

no, it didn't  :(

When he recognised me, he was still white on my radar.
I can click him and fire my missile (and yes he locked at that moment) , but I can't select him automatically via the TAB key.
The chopper was a Commanche, but I also tried it the official Appache.

Well, maybe I was too tired, I'll try it again...tommorow.

PS :I remmeber it worked with a BMD from the same pack

the radar is IR, since the ZU-23 has no engin it would not regester on radar(no heat created)
in other words, you have to manualy target it (right click it). its more realistic this way.

I have to reopen this...
This time it's a can't hit target issue.

DKMM Commanche Helicopter against the SA-13 GOPHER

The SA13 always misses his target. Strange thing is, when I fly with the AH1 or AH64 he hits me from far with his guided missiles.
I know the Commanche has an IR/RADAR Jammer, but even when I don't activate my jammer, the SA13 misses.
 
What the hell is wrong?

When I start in the Commanche a message shows up :"FMC activated"... What is FMC?
