Bugs, Glitches, Issues In Elite

[Uziyahu--IDF]

Every now and then I lose control of my character in multiplayer and it gets "possessed" by a demon player that assumes control, even though I am still viewing everything the character does through its eyes.

Now THAT is what I call "hot-swapping"!

I was a little dissapointed with the way that the helicopters in this game are controlled. The main problem is the lack of tail rotor control. during forward flight, the tailrotor would not normally be used anyway, but during hover flight the tail rotor should control the yaw axis, (that is, the direction the helicopter is pointed)
As it is, at the moment, you use the same control for yaw as you use for roll. That is not correct. I assume they did it this way to make it easier to fly, but in my opinion, it takes away from the realism. Add to that the fact that when you use what SHOULD be the Tail rotor control, the helicopter rolls in the direction selected, up to 45 degrees and then moves REALLY slowly in that direction, that is just plain stupid and beyond any possible physics
If this inaccuracy was corrected, flying the helicopters could well be a little more difficult to fly but they would also be MUCH more manoeuvrable.

Not sure if you care or not, I haven't seen any other objects like this, but there is a bush at I 7 on Nogova that is about 10 inches or so off the ground. Its at the 128 elevation marker area.

Im not for sure if anyone has noted this aparent glitch yet but while i was playing a LAN party game I had an AI as my driver in a M1A1 and I was the Gunner well anyway what happend was that when the abram started to move it started jerking real bad, like hoping back and forth and this would keep on untill i switched to the drivers position and drive for about 4 min. and then switch back. I first thought it was just a problem maybe in my xbox but then my uncle and a few of my friends have had this same problem. Its just a every once in a while thing.

Some questions folks:

1. When I am flying a helicopter and switch the gunners weapons to hellfires, he doesn't attack with them the targets I announce to him. With machine guns and rockets he does, so what must I do to make him use the hellfires?

2. I read somewhere that the vehicles/aircraft can switch on lights, but I don't find any action/button to do so...

3. When I complete one of the single missions I get a sign that the mission was completed, but I don't get such a sign when completing one of the instant missions...

4. After completing a mission I get my statistics for this mission and the score etc.. But I miss a possibility to view my statistics for each single mission completed, so I can check whether I am improving on it or not.

5. When flying the view is heavily limited due to thick fog. Any things to do to increase the view distance here?

Thanks,

I'm basing this on the pc version, as I assume it's similar in regards to these questions.

1. Hellfires aren't guided and therefore you have to aim the crosshair at the target before he fires.

2. There should be an option in the action menu to turn on the lights, maybe this is changed in Elite to reduce clutter in the menu? The lights are not very noticeable in the day though.

Usually to reveiew your past statistics you would have to go back to the main screen to select your campaign,it will show you the mision names,clicking them (or displayed near them) would show how many enemies you have killed,friendlies lost,etc.

i think you mean the 57th, or FFARs which are unguided missiles...

You need to press Fire to tell him to fire once you see the firing position is good, the same way as you do it in the tank. You could also switch to manual fire, but this way your hellfires would be unguided. If gunner fires it, he locks it to the target you designated and they are guided during the flight.

You can use action meny for this, but only when it is dark.
