But it is disabled in some missions and not in others. I couldn't use it in Bees when I was flying last time for example (FROM HELL'S HEART!)
(see my edit)
Could it be dependant on the type of the helicopter?
Which probably means I've screwed up some setting somewhere I guess if you can see them :( :sadtrombone:
You can always try Swifty and see if that helps.

MH9 in both cases I'm afraid. Disorienting as bleep, I wound up missing turns and going to the wrong bay for the LZ.


That might also have been because I'm not a terribly good Arma player, but I'm blaming the waypoint marker for as long as I can :D

Yup, I reckon that's the next step.

Ive never had a problem with st_gi myself. Always works bice. Usuallty color coded too. I would say check your install. The swifty launcher has been working quite well for me for folk stuff, and wolf posted a noce guide on setting it up.

Yeah, the hexagon thing works well for me too, it came with one of the sthud releases and I just installed it normally. Best bet would be trying to reinstall as Eagle said and trying it out for yourself, just join the empty FA server, choose a random mission and join a FT with AI in it. If that doesn't work, check out one of the launchers.

I didn't realise you could join the FA server when it was empty to test stuff. Sweet!

BTW, tried the st_hud/st_gi reinstall using swifty last night and everything was shiny and hexagon-y, so thanks for the suggestion guys!
