Couple notes: don't constantly leave on your laser like shown in the video. Only use it when you need to, otherwise any other aircraft flying's weapons may lock on to your laser by mistake. Second, the AGM-65G shown is not laser guided. It's IR guided, and will lock to hot vehicles.

@@ItsAvyy Definitely vehicle guided, shouldn't be affected by any mods really. You can always see what you're locking on to in the 'radar' view on the right side of your screen. Notice on yours for the Mavericks how it says the vehicle types, and not the laser. For laser guided weapons that need to be locked, that would instead say 'Laser Target'. Also like I said, typically not a good habit to use the laser just for seeing stuff. Its pretty common to then accidentally have other folks shoot at your laser instead of their own.

Good video. Thank you. Unfortunately, the metric system used in the software is not the world's convention in aviation. For example, velocity in aviation throughout all the world is communicated in "knots", i.e., nautical miles/hour. For standards, the international body responsible for standardization is ICAO. While it does focus on civil aviation, military aircraft must utilize the same ATC system throughout the world and, as a result, combat aircraft are built with instrumentation that conforms to the ICAO standards for units of measure. So, the game's interweaving metrics into its aviation terminology mixes ground-based metric terminology, i.e., kilometers/hour for velocity and meters for altitude - not cool. No bueno. The entire world's ATC system conforms to ICAO standards and anyone who flies combat and/or civil aircraft knows ICAO as that standard. Altimeters are calibrated in feet, not meters, for example. ATC worldwide uses "feet" and "knots". I flew lots in the Middle East (Indian Ocean), N/S America, Asia, and Europe. Not only is ICAO standardized about the terms I mention, "English" is also the worldwide official language of aviation. Flights from Frankfurt or Paris, for example, landing in Chicago speak English, not German or French. Landing in any airport requires this. This is for safety so that all pilots on frequency can listen to catch mistakes revealed by listening to other pilots. Arma 3's aircraft instrumentation reflects the real world and reads out correct units, i.e., kts and feet. I have seen some exceptions but they are not "real" world. I point this out because, after all, immersion is a very enjoyable aspect of Arma 3. Unlike DCS which conforms, these variations in aviation standards of terminology that have found their way into the videos affect the feelings of immersion, even disrupting it for hardcore players "in the know". Personally, having flown both Navy combat jets and commercial jets throughout the world for 40 years and never, ever heard any exception to ICAO standards. Mixing the two is courting disaster. While flying off the "boat" in the Navy, we never use metric units. We did adapt some terms to facilitate safety, i.e., "Climb and maintain Angels 8" for example. "Angels 8" means 8,000 FEET, not some metric equivalence. This is just some background I offer because your videos seem to be among some of the best, most-technically accurate. Viewers, especially those unfamiliar with reality, often adapt what they see and hear until the correct terminology is revealed to them. Gamers are smart people and, like those of us who work within these conventions (for safety reasons we need standardization), gamers as a whole seem to enjoy being as "real" as possible. Arma 3's reputation is enhanced by "nearest-realism" possible. Terminology is one of the easiest standards with which to comply to achieve this mantra. This is something to think about when correlating performance, instrumentation, and operational advice regarding flying unless and until the world switches to a different standardization agreement. This discussion is more suited for game software developers but since code and scripts with constants and variables often have the metric system engrained, the momentum may be too much to overcome to ever correct the oversight. Sorry for the long comment and typos but, your videos are excellent and I feel that future KZfaq videos will be more helpful if the terminology matches the instrumentation to which it relates. Your viewers will be keeping it "real". Best regards, good luck, and thanks again.
