cashxx 10 Posted July 21, 2009 Hi everyone....on the one mission where you have to search for the guy in the car, its one of the first single player missions. The one Lieutenant says something about you having access to the UAV at the main base. You go up to the UAV trailer and there is no way to control the UAV that I can find. Anyone know what I am talking about and know how to fly the UAV or is this a bug? THanks, Dan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
volkov956 0 Posted July 21, 2009 I tried but it seems to have a preset waypoint system u just spot zones of interest and mark them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakerod 254 Posted July 21, 2009 There is a way to do it using the map. Try checking the Official Missions section of the forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frederf 0 Posted July 21, 2009 You click on the map and it generates a series of 4 cycle waypoints in a diamond around the location you clicked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg 0 Posted July 21, 2009 The onscreen UAV instructions are useless and incomplete. You can also switch weapons from marker to Hellfires. Good luck getting a lock though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cashxx 10 Posted July 28, 2009 I couldn't get to use the UAV though......going up to the UAV Command Center it wouldn't let me use it. It worked later though and I agree its kinda useless, it goes a little to fast to see anything and could use a better cam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rapier 10 Posted July 28, 2009 when you are around the trailer just roll your mouse wheel around until you see "UAV" listed on your quick list. Although I didn't like how fast it was flying and turning, It turned out to be useful locating small camps and I marked them with the lasersight for inspection and it did help out a lot.

v11cu96 10 Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) If I had purchased that UAV from an Arms dealer?.... I'd want a full refund. About $3,000,000 of Pilotless global hawk technology.......equiped with about $30 worth of 1990s webcam technology :( Seriously the more i play the Arma 2 campaign the more I starting to realise just how much stuff BI simply left for the player to just 'figure it out' Edited July 28, 2009 by v11cu96 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noraf 0 Posted July 28, 2009 well, you can change both the speed and the altitude of the uav, though, i too find it quite useless the way it is now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyAviator 10 Posted July 28, 2009 What in the world is it doing? I click on the map to set way points and when I finally find enemy armor it just spirals into the ground. Now my UAV is destroyed and I dont even know how. Also hellfires seem to be hard to use and the camera is nauseating to watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
