FLIR in AH64?

[wazandy 10]

When I insert the AH64 into the editor, how to I access FLIR?

I've been pressing 'N' but it doesn't cycle optics, I just get night vision.

Bit of a newb quesiton I know, sorry.

I think only the Gunner gets FLIR through his targeting camera. The pilot gets Night Vision only.

You need to be gunner.

Strange.

I get no option to be gunner in the AH64 in editor mode...

Even with the middle mouse menu, I see manual fire, but that's it.

You can't switch to gunner from the pilot slot. Either make the AH64 "player as gunner" or land, get out, and get in as gunner.

Set "player as gunner" in the editing of the unit.

Not sure if it only works on the U.S Army Apache, since the USMC one is from ArmA2, which don't have FLIR.

When you place it in the editor, there is an option to choose your position.

Should have guessed.

Thanks guys.

I'll give it a go.

Also, it's very convenient if you set the heli to be playable for both the pilot and the gunner, so you can swith on the fly.

I assume your talking about OA, because I cant find any FLIR cam in ARMA2 with ACE2... ?
