General ACE Features

Air FCS

Currently available for AH1 Cobra and AH64 Apache (v1.04). Future integration for Russian counterparts

Differences vs vanilla system:

• When you are in gunner position in one of the specified rotary aircraft specified above, you will no longer be able to control your weapons selection with the “F” key.
• Instead, use your action menu to select your weapons. Select “Overlay On” to activate the MFD overlay.
• Select “Laser On” to activate your targeting laser. When in the AGM-114 mode, you will be able to select what targeting mode the missile uses.
• Target lock via "next target" bind key doesn't work anymore

Usage:

• Select weapon you want to fire via action menu (M197 Main Cannon, AGM-114 Hellfire, AGM-220 TOW)
• Select weapon mode for AGM-114 Hellfire (if this weapon has been selected). The available modes are LOBL(default) LOAL-DIR, LOAL-LOW, LOAL-HI
• Select overlay on (action menu) - more information will be given on top of your display
• Select laser on (action menu) - mandatory for firing AGM-114 missiles in all the modes available
• In case you have selected AGM-220 TOW missiles, all you'll need to do is guide the missile on target via crosshair just like you can in BMPs/Bradleys.

Notes:

• For certain weapon modes (AGM-114 HF), such as LOAL-LOW/HI certain range and angle to target needs to be met for target impact.
• All weapon selection will be available no matter what kind of loadout the chopper has.
• FFAR rocket control has been moved to pilot seat. All other weapons cannot be used by anyone but the gunner.
• Getting an AI gunner to switch weapon can be done via SPACE+F (default) key combination.
• AGM-114 can lock on ground laser markers, or other aircraft markers, but the on board laser will take priority if it is on
