Aiming Assist broken?

[Lensman]

I wanted to use aiming assist tonight for training purposes and I can't get it to switch on.

It was on by default in my Campaign mode earlier in the week and I used RCTRL-I to switch it off.

Now, even in a quick mission with custom setting and aiming assist selected it will not activate.

I've tried all combinations of on/off save and toggling RCTRL-I during flight but to no avail.

Is this a known issue please?

I wanted to try that out as well, and I also failed.

- Aim helper for fixed armament was removed on Normal difficulty

That was a removal from the normal mode of the campaign, it was initially defaulted to on. I'm talking about the custom mode of the quick mission builder. Different issue.

If I had read your OP closer I would have realized that, my bad.  I'll try it tonight on my box, and see if I too have issues with it in QMB.

Change log for an update on October 8th:

- Aim helper mark for rockets is only shown on the ground and disappears if the ground is too far away

Aim helper mark now only works for rockets and only shown on the ground and disappears if the ground is too far away. And this happend if you play Campaign or Quick mission builder with Custom Settings or Normal Settings. Short said the Aim helper mark is now limited for ground targets only.

Unless you have additional information, that comment by Zak is not enough to support your claim. Zak's comment only refers to rockets and their aim assist. It doesn't state or imply that gun assist is permanently gone.

Can a developer possibly comment about this please to offer an explanation of what we should be seeing now? The gun aim assist was a very good deflection training aid for new (and old) players so it would be a loss if it has been removed.

[BigDally]

Yeah I am no longer getting any "Aiming assist" markers either, even with it enabled in QMB custom settings.....

[Lensman]

This is still not functional after the latest release. Please can I have a definitive statement on whether it SHOULD be.

At the moment I can't assess whether it's a defect (bug) or a design decision (please reverse it).

[Lensman]

Weapon reload is also inoperable.

[Lensman]

The weapon reload is now working (or always was and I misused it, can't tell) but the aiming assist training option is still not.

PLEASE can I have a comment on this issue please be it known defect or redundant feature.

[uncleseaweed]

Yes, can a developer please respond to this post.

 

I also was using Aiming Assist for practice in single player quick missions.

It use to work, and now it is gone.

 

Please explain.

 

I can understand if there was confusion over a new requested feature, 

but this is a feature that use to work, so taking it out does not seem to make much sense.

 

Thanks!

Other than that the game play and realism is amazing, great job on everything.

Bump

[BlitzPig_Bill_Kelso]

No not yet, I will need to check that out.

Aiming Help is broken for Joystick users, works for Mouse users. Will be corrected in next Hotfix that is currently in Beta.

Thanks for the reply Jason and great to hear a fix is in the works!
