How to use FLIR and camera

[Mattressi 10]

In career mode I've equipped my light with FLIR and the LCD screen. However, I can't at all work out how to use it. I've definitely got PiP enabled and I've tried going into the copilots seat and looking around and pressing num 0. The same goes for the camera.

Also, how do you use other helicopters in free flight (in career mode)? I'd like to try out the medium with the searchlight to see if I can get it to work, but there's no option to select it - I always start in the light.

Finally, in freeflight I crashed my light. Even after repairing the ~$3000 of damage, whenever I start free flight or a mission in it, the main rotor blows apart and the blades go flying everywhere, then the screen goes dark and says the helicopter is too damaged. I then have the options "End" and "Restart". I've repaired it many times now (both by identifying the problems and by paying for the maintenance). I've tried flying non-light missions after repairing it, but as soon as I get back from the mission I see the rotor blades explode out of the hangar where the light is, and sure enough, it is destroyed again. There's no way to revert to a previous contract where it was working, either ("revert" is grayed out).

From what I can tell, career mode still needs a huge heap of fixes. I'd really like to be able to actually make use of the things I've bought in career mode (in their own missions), as I've said before, but even if that will never be possible, it'd be nice to at least be able to make use of them in free flight. As it is, I simply can't see the point to career mode/heliport once the story missions are finished. I really hope I get a response to this from someone at Bohemia - few of my other posts have, which is making me worried that ToH has already been abandoned.
