The Laser Designator Thing

[ManDay 0]

I am just creating a Mission that requires LD. In OFP ... Well: I ve never played MP in OFP because I had no internet this time ... there you had a LD and you were able to target something by just firing. Because I never created MP-Mission I didnt care about how to target the LD-'Thing' yourself - I only knew you could access it via 'nearestObject "LaserDesignatorTarget"', or something similar. Whatsoever:

In Arma I wonder if it's normal that your 'LD' is a invisible truc which you can only look-trough and not 'just hold it in your hand'. Furthermore, it looks pretty stupid seeing other guys holding that invisible thing in their hands. Is that normal?

And if you fly a plane and someone 'shoots' the LD - how can you target that thing?

A further (third) question: I wonder how you can target things if you are in a jet or a helicopter!!! It's almost impossible to target a target which you cannot access via the 'Select next target'-button. So if you have to target a enemy T72 which isnt displayed red - because it doesnt move - or a house you have to destroy: I can find NO WAY to target it!

You understand my problem ?

Thanks in advance for your help! ManDay

This is a general issue not a troubleshooting one, moving.
