appache training problem

[spotter001 82]

hi guys, 1st of all forgive me if this was answered but the search query failed to match anything.

i cannot complete the appache training in the OA. everything starts fine and i follow all the waypoints until the last one where it says to switch to the Hellfire missiles. i turn on auto-hover and switch to hellfire but guess what-nothing happens.

i've tried everything, commanding gunner and using manual fire but to no avail. it's as if the game doesn't recognize i have activated hellfire. i have the A2:RTF patched to v1.60 (latest patch).

any help?

This may be the same problem as in Mission E08 - Armor Training where you cannot switch to the M240 machine gun. After patch 1.60, certain weapon class names were changed (M240 was changed to M240BC), but some code was not edited to accommodate for this, rendering certain parts of the code ineffective.

A little bit more detail would be nice though. Can you switch to the HELLFIRE and just can't get it to target, or can you not switch to the HELLFIRE at all? Also, if you are using any mods, turn them off.

I'll see if I can replicate this myself.

yes, i can activate hellfire, both by commanding a gunner (lctrl+f) and by using manual fire. the thing is that nothing happens afterwards. the training doesn't continue, i can blindely fire the missiles cause there are no targets to speak of. the targets don't show up and the upper right corner keeps the message "switch to hellfire".

did u have any luck?

thanks for response

everything's cool now. i just had to disable all mods.

but the armor training is really buged it seems.

I just did it, and possibly had the same issue as you did, I think its important to exactly follow the instructions step by step. Go to waypoint, stop helo, engage autohover, go up, target selection (green squares around targets), command fire.

^ yes, thanks for the info. i'd done it already.
