Has anyone experienced that when you're gonna shoot down the helicopter with the Stinger-missile, the missile won't lock at target, and shoot? If someone has, please tell me what you've done to fix it!

Best Regards..

Don't hold me to this, but I think it's because the game thinks you're dead

When I first played through the game (without cheats) it all worked perfectly. Then when I went back to play some missions again on a higher difficulty, I used some cheats to make it a little more interesting.

If you've been shot a lot, or been too close to a grenade, you would normally die. But with the cheats (and the games strange health system) the game thinks you've died, so you won't be able to perform certain tasks. I've only experienced this with the Stinger and Javelin, but it may happen with other items in later missions.

This 'bug' will probably occur with anything that should kill you instantly (grenades, attack dogs, RPG's, etc)

Unfortunately, the only way around this that I've found, is by restarting the mission.

Yeah,the health part of the trainer is rather worthless IMO. You also would get stuck trying to lock on to the tanks with it during the mission you're trying to get out of the village, and then you get stuck again in the last mission as you speed away from the HINE helicopters. I have to exit out of the game, and restart it and hopefully at a save point right before I couldn't continue.

This is of course between all the other times you get attacked by dogs. Damn those things.

Same for me, I had to restart the entire mission because of that. I found it linked to the ammo option of the trainer, even turning the option off has no effect.
Also the dogs attacking ****es me off. As stated above getting attacked by dogs crashes the game. That is to say the game won’t continue, even though you are still moving around trying to get away from them. Pressing the V key has no effect.
I am on the SAS sniper mission and this is really f-ing me off.

I actually reloaded somehow from a checkpoint and played through the rest of the mission with the "Press V to Kill the Dog" message on my screen.

Have you found any other workaround besides restarting with the cheats now activated? I'm really sad about not being able to get by that part

Just try to pass the mission without using trainer or cheats as i suppose you did because it's buggin' the game and when you keep the hellicopter on a lock for a while the you will hear a beep and that's it boom

there r other ways 2 take down the heli e.g. using a grenade launcher frm a gun (if u cant find the guns use the console cheats)
