Welcome!
Oxus 6 Aug, 2022 @ 9:09pm 
All right, I will try again carefully, thanks a lot again!
Gunter Severloh  [author] 6 Aug, 2022 @ 8:45pm 
From what mod CUP or RHS as vanilla dont have an AH1, when you lock you have to
keep the target within view, that box if their is one on your screen, you want to keep
the target in that area, then wait for the lock, again watch where i fly in the video.
I do it all the time, you'll know when you got the lock it will beep, suggest
using a vanilla heli to get an idea of how it works and then once you have success with it
then try the helis you want.

Can also be the heli your flying i cant say, i mainly only fly planes, and certain ones, would try
different missiles too, try that mod i have linked in the description the
"Planes Loadout Anywhere" with that you can have all AGM type missiles if you want.
Oxus 6 Aug, 2022 @ 8:39pm 
Im tryin AGM's, driving a AH1Z chopper
but still I cant mange to make it work, when I press TAB, i see displayed: "enemy unit marked by'' and my username, but when I fire the missile it goes straight forward and miss the target, however Im tryin one last time, if i dont succed im giving up. Anyway I loved your work is a great mod and I really appreciate your help THX!!
Gunter Severloh  [author] 6 Aug, 2022 @ 8:16pm 
Ya probably you need an air to ground missile that locks
like AGM's or Skalpels. It might also be the heli your using too
i found it difficult and or i couldn't lock on anything with certain planes.
With the M-48 Kajman for example, switching to those air to ground missiles you can
lock onto targets.
Oxus 6 Aug, 2022 @ 8:11pm 
Sorry Im doing something wrong and I dont know what it is, Im aiming to the target and pressing tab but lock on never displays on screen, It may be the chopper or type of ammo? is that possible?
Gunter Severloh  [author] 6 Aug, 2022 @ 7:54pm 
Welcome. The way you lock on targets is you need to but the heli,
or planes, crosshairs or gunsights on the target and press tab, tab is
the default key to lock on.
In the video when im flying you can see i
move the plane a little to put the crosshair the ---> + on the target and
at the same time im pressing tab.
Try that and see how it goes.
Oxus 6 Aug, 2022 @ 7:41pm 
Thank you, finally Im able to play, still I couldnt find a way to lock on targets Im playin on helicopter, and I couldnt find the key in the configure addons options, how Im supossed to lock on a target?
Gunter Severloh  [author] 6 Aug, 2022 @ 5:18pm 
To play the mission you must play it in mp lan.
To spawn planes to fly, you go to the sign.
To spawn enemy planes you press either 0-8 or 0-0 on your keyboard.
Watch the video i show you how it works and what to do.
