So after searching the tracker and this thread I have not found the answer.
When pilot/gunner in any aircraft that uses hellfires, I cannot select them. Switching through the weapons works as normal (using F or CTRL + F) but for some reason the hellfires will not show up. Instead , on the AH-1 or AH-64 for example, I get the gun or laser designator. The hellfire option does not even show up, even if they are fitted on the aircraft.
Does anyone have this problem, and perhaps a solution?
EDIT:
After some more troubleshooting I have the answer:
FOREWORD: I am not sure if this applies to just Escalation or other mods at this point.
Axemann Soundscape mod apparently conflicts with the hellfires and makes them unusable. I disabled this mod and now everything works.
