Mando Missile ArmA for ArmA 2

[Simon C 0]

You have to use the action menu for GBUs now. Select the LGB bomb camera from your action menu and follow the onscreen instructions.

[Sneaker-78- 0]

hmm ah ic .. so you must guide it like this .. rgr

tnks

[mandoble 1]

Yes Sneaker, you need to use the LGB TV camera to use these bombs. I'm considering to allow normal usage for them for next beta, but not at the moment.

1. is it fully ace2 combatible ??

These that have tested it say so, so I guess it is.

2. when you have 2 human players in the apache and the pilot is locking in the monocle the target, will the locked target be transfert/syncroniced to the gunners monocle ?? or to the gunnersight ? would be nice so you dont have to talk what target you are looking at.

You can do that with the AH64D if the other crew member has the HUD in Hellfire-Remote mode. You lock on something, press "Special" key (default is G) and that target becomes immediately the current target of the other crew member.

You can also do that from TV camera (if you are the gunner), select a target or location and click "Xmit" button, your current locked on target or ground location will be visible by the pilot in Remote mode.

3. would it be possible that you lock targets and send/syncronice those to other ah-64 in the attack group ?

Yes, from the TV camera. Lock on a target or ground position and click Xmit button, while you keep the lock that target or ground position will be visible by any friendly unit operating in "Remote" mode.

4. when you are in cam-mode the engine sound gets louder. is that possible you lower the volume ? (is it because your viewpoint is outside the heli ?)

Yes, that's the reason. But if I lower the volume, all the sounds would be affected, including warning sounds.

[Moxyz1 10]

hope that the heli sounds dont get lowered personally as im enjoying the new TRRotor Wing mod currently, but i may be in the minority on this as i only use single player so comms background noise isnt an issue for me. Im eagerly awaiting the next MMA and cant resist constantly checking for it.

• Added MMA Rearming System (Cyborg added also configurations for all ACE2 planes and choppers).
  
• AV8B2 and Su34B with specific SEAD configurations added for anti-radar missions (you can rearm with these configs from the MMA Rearming System, just select SEAD).

[SD_BOB 10]

First of all, this is simply amazing. As is all your work Mandoble :)

I have 2 questions:-

1. How do you switch between LOBL and LOAL modes in the Apache?

2. How exactly begin the targeting process with the Javelin? (I follow the directions, but having problems)

I have read the online manual, but that doesnt mention anything about the Hellfire firing modes.

EDIT:- I seem to be able to "seek" and get a lock, if a change the firing mode to dir/ground. But it refuses to lock onto a vehicle in either top attack or dir.

[jasonnoguchi 11]

downloading!!!

UPDATE :

Still no auto init? :( Thought you said this would be the auto init version? :( Wanted to play with this system sooooo much in soooo many missions :(

Edited January 18, 2010 by jasonnoguchi

[Defunkt 431]

As for the Javelin, everything else works like switching attack mode and thermal sight picture, but i just cannot get it to start seeking using the "tab" key.

Firstly your target must be an enemy unit (IIRC) and must have its engine on. Try with DIR/GRND, it should instead target whatever bit of dirt the crosshair is on.

[SD_BOB 10]

Just figured that out, Defunkt (it was because the unit's engine was not running). Thankyou for the reply though, very nice system. Definatly a keeper :p

Edit:- I'm going on assumtion here, but are the IR modes backwards? The BHOT shows targets as lighter than the surroundings, where as WHOT shows them darker. Shouldnt WHOT show the target IR source as lighter than the cooler surroundings?

Edit2:- Is there anyway to implement on the Apache Pilot & Gunner hud, where the other is looking? For quick references, it would be nice for the pilot to have a small crosshair or something showing him where the gunner is looking and vice versa, i think this would be a very nice addition, if possible within the game engine. Also maybe a slip indicator, similiar to the altitude indicator presently on there, maybe on th other side of the center point, to show any lateral movement of the aircraft for pilot ref.

By all means, tell me to piss off :)

Amazing! Thank you Mando and Defunkt + everyone else that helped. Just tested the jav and AH-64... Just awesome.

Thank you.

[jasonnoguchi 11]

one question guys, didn't find it in the README... how do you change weapons using MMA in the apache?

[Moxyz1 10]

awsome work guys thank you, its great in the ah64 with the monocle as well now in mma, @Jasongouchi it was kju who is working on the auto innit version, im sure that might come later m8, yeah it would be good to try it with the eagle wing mini campaign/mission.

[Solarghost 10]

Thanks Mando and defunkt

Awesome bloody work fellaz, all the annoying you paid off!!! well not really lol it was your hard work and beta testing.

Bloody good mod. :p

Cheers

[Cyborg11 10]

1. How do you switch between LOBL and LOAL modes in the Apache?

Don't lock on a target and fire => LOAL

Lock on a target and fire => LOBL

:p

LOAL doesn't work in Hellfire Camera ;)

one question guys, didn't find it in the README... how do you change weapons using MMA in the apache?

Press the key to change HUD modes (default is Ctrl). :)

[jasonnoguchi 11]

@Cyborg, got it! will try. Thanks for responding.

UPDATE : it goes from Hellfire to Hellfire remote but not to the cannon... how do we switch to the cannons?

The cannon isn't a hud mode. It's a BIS weapon so you can cycle to it with F ;)

As a pilot use manual fire if you can't fire it.

[jasonnoguchi 11]

@Cyborg, oh... which means that there is no way to get cannon to track where you look with the IHASS in free look? that's a pity there. :)

[mandoble 1]

Edit2:- Is there anyway to implement on the Apache Pilot & Gunner hud, where the other is looking?

Did we forget to include this????? ;)

Yes, it is possible and it will be included.

[Tonci87 163]

Will this be auto initalised someday in the Future? Would really love to play some already existing missions with that

[mandoble 1]

Yes Tonci, was planned to be released with 2.4B4 but we might be a bit late already. Might be for this week, I need to check that with Kju.

Jasonnoguchi, by default, the monocle for AH64 gunner is "attached" to the cannon (or the cannon to the monocle).
