I cant seem to find a key to unlock a target . i have to waste always pars missle from my tiger heli to switch the target. anyone can help out?
I just swing the helicopter around so the seeker can’t see the locked target anymore, which breaks the lock.

Try this: Weapon lock (air-to-ground)

i did, that is usefull for ATGMs like hellfires but once u activated the seeker on PARS and it locked this doesnt unlock it. i wish there was something like on the spike missles where u can simply repeat seeking but in my case the activate seeker is also the fire missle button. i cant find activate seeker in options seperatly-
I have it set in my controls i can check which one it is when im back home. until then use the turn away from target method. It is also useful to reset a lock that you think is not proper i.e ir targeting marker just appears to jitter all over the target. to me it ffels like relocking gives much better hit probability

Hello, there is 2 binding to use:
*Fire air to ground missile
*Lock air to ground missile
You can actually (with the option enabled) use Fire to lock then Fire missile but you have to use the Lock key to lock/unlock the seeker only.
Exemple : I use R1 to turn on the seeker/lock, then R1 to fire. If I want to unlock, I use L1+R1, seeker will stay active if locked.
If I want to turn on the seeker/lock, I also can use L1+R1, but it’s less comfortable.
In this case, I also use L1+R1 to turn off the seeker if no target was lock.
-[R1 or L1+R1] Turn ON the seeker=>Locked=>[R1] Fire
-[R1 or L1+R1] Turn ON the seeker=>Locked=>[L1+R1] Unlock=>Seeker ON=>[L1+R1]=>OFF
-[R1 or L1+R1] Turn ON the seeker=>Seeker ON=>[R1]Nothing
-[R1 or L1+R1] Turn ON the seeker=>Seeker ON=>[L1+R1]=>OFF
But if it’s the only one missile you have trouble with, idk …

thats the weird thing, i have to press fire to activate seeker but with “lock ATGM to target” i can only lock the gunner sight (which there is no autocannon in the tiger heli from germany) which on other helis also guides the ATGMs or for aiming the autocannon,
ah i understand now, go to settings, make sure the “lock ATGM to Target” keybing is NOT the same as “lock sight to target” or wtv it was

For things liek agm 65 it helps for me to click ALT so it shiws my mouse curser
Ok so you need to set “sight stabilization” to camera lock a target and “disable sight stabilization” to unlock camera to different keys. then the third key is “target aquisation” which ir locks and unlocks the pars to the target that is camera locked or over which the camer is hovering over.
Another important tip: i have set mouse wheel control only for helis to zoom with max 100% sensitivity this way your right mousebutton switches between max and min zoom in gunnner sight but you can also zoom in increments with the mouse wheel which makes target aquisation much faster and easier.

oh thx for the hint with the camera, how do you manage to use throttle to fly?
i switched collective to w and s and pitch to shift and caps since im handling that mostly with mouse anyhow and barely use the keyboard for that. collective feels way more important to me to stay low

danke!
no problemo. takes some getting used to tho, maybe not recommended for everyone, just test it for yourself. since i started helis years back way before planes it changed my brain so much i actually changed pitch to shift and caps in planes too only to realize now that for planes the standard feels better so i have different ones now for helis and planes. hurts your brain but well

and do remember to download your keyboard bind set to your computer for backup after every change
