Could always look at how the TOW and Metis static weapons are configured. I have no access to the game though, so can't really give more help than that. Alternatively check ACE to see how they did it for their AH-1W. I'm not sure if it is configed, or part of the air FCS of the mod.

Inko would be correct, but not really
Thing is the static weapons, no matter how those are configed, is not gonna work once you add that to your Ah1. (in fact i am talking about the TOW_lanchers as well as TOW missiles - both weapons and ammo classes)

There was an addon though, that did what you are trying to achive, but the name eludes me atm. It was changing the default TAB-click behaviour for the hellfires.

@pufu: maybe Mando Missile?

There is indeed an engine limitation which prevents missiles on helicopter from being actively guided

thanks guys .. Yes i think its true Pufu .. tow missile and towlauncher are for static use only . but hm i wonder if i can convert it i mean make my own weapons .But as Inkompitent say ,im gonna try to find out how the makers of ace2 did it with Ah1w .

Anyway thanks guys

i think if i make my own laserdesignator and convert it i mean replace laser with IR and then i put it on my ah1z .it works with hellfire when i use laserdesignator so i hope this will work with "IRdesignator" .

besides mando...

search does wonders...GDT Mod Helicoper weapons

have a look over how HeinBloed did it. His mod, while not really realistically from Hellfires, with a bit of modification, will very well suit your TOWs.
ACE is also a very good place to look over it, but you might overcomplicate yourself in the process

[Mandoble]

With MMA you already have TOW manual guidance control for AH1Z, just remove the default hellfires and add the TOWLauncher with a 2Rnd_TOW mag, or do it directly using MMA rearm selecting TOW configuration for the AH1Z.
