Yeah, it switches targets. It's really annoying because it happens almost everytime. Lately we we're using the 114L ONLY with FCR because this way it's precise. A few months back we were shooting 114L with laser and the BDA X it was always offset by a considerable distance from the target and the missile always missed its target. We'll check it again, I read on the forum to "solve" the problem a reset on the INU was needed.

I don't know the aspect of the engagement in this situation, but shouldn't the LOBL be much more reliable than LOAL? At 2km range feels strange the missile switches target in LOBL. Using the FCR in LOAL in multicrew we have good reliability on our targets, sometimes they switch targets buy its rare. But when we shoot 114L on LOAL with LASER they almost always miss.

The bug still present. We had this issue on different missions, it happens even when the airbase is lost.

I confirm the RFHO works OK.

It has been a long time since I tested it and it wasn't working on multiplayer. All types of reports did work via TSD including sending FCR targets. The RFHO didn't but I will test it again.

Please, the flight model and the desynch of the TADS on multicrew is tiring. Correct me if I'm wrong but the FCR H-O was never implemented? BAM were never useful on multicrew because it never worked and radio presets also have label desynch. Also on multicrew the AGM-114L never hits using laser designation but using FCR its almost a 100% hit. I guess this is because of the TADS desynch. The Route Tool it's also not synched. When the CPG enters the aircraft it doesn't have any waypoints. What about the RFI and ECM? DTC? Also the 1 unit on airbase not letting for another crew member is also silly, but this is for any aircraft not only the AH-64D. It makes runnig dynamic campaigns a bit hard. Oh, and I forgot about the day 1 crash bug, if you enter as a CPG on cold start AFTER the aircraft was started it crashes the game for the CPG.

Early Access... for ever...

Yes, is the most unstable helicopter of DCS yet it has an advanced stability system.

Still happening. Cold Start. This issue has several years now and it gets really tiring.

We still had this issue the 6th of august with the latest patch.

And its broken since release with no limit to weight and volume.

In addition to all this multicrew desynch issues, when the CPG enters the aircraft while it was already flying crashes the CPG client 100% of the time. This is an issue from the RELEASE of the aircraft and its really annoying.

The flight model is broken since the patch of february, 6 months. An update on whats happening would be nice.

To be fair this is a new 3rd party developer AND a new type module for DCS, paying so blindly is somewhat strange. And in the description of the aircraft doesn't explain the cargo mechanics and if the cargo mechanics are fixed after a year of introduction of the CH-47. Plus for all other major games with pre order you have a glimpse of gameplay during the pre order phase.

Sometimes what happens is you may trim the aircraft but don't completely center the stick after, maybe by a millimeter, and you think it is trimmed. It happened to me during a mission when I was under fire and crashed a few moments later because I had problems with the trim.

I don't know about the CH mod, but during missions I was able to see other helicopters and even other fast aircraft. As a side note, there's a video on youtube of an apache hitting a drone with the chain gun, something impossible with the dispersion on the DCS AH-64D.

The manual will give a lot of information you can't find on most youtube videos. I've learnt a lot by just reading the manual because I didn't understand some things. MSL NOT RDY No RF missiles have received an inertial alignment from the aircraft. A missile has not been selected in MAN mode. Ensure MSL PWR is set to ALL or AUTO to permit RF missiles to receive inertial alignment. Press the Missile Advance button to select the next missile in MAN mode. Page 508

Sorry I can't give you a track now. The way to reproduce it is Pilot sets a preplanning waypoints before spawn. When the CPG joins the aircraft he doesn't have the waypoints loaded into the aircraft. The pilot has the waypoints but the CPG don't.

With the new update the option still doesn't save the Hidden on Map option for the dynamic slots. You can see the aircraft on the F10 map when spawning on a dynamic slot.

Any news on the progress of the new rotor model?

Also, for navigation or for area operations you don't need to enter the full coordinates, you can fill with 0 the decimals or ingress a rounded half minute for a little more precision. This is specially useful for radio communications so you can cut 4 numbers over the radio.

Dynamic Spawn Template option doesn't save the Hidden on map option.

The preplanning doesn't get synchronized in multiplayer multicrew.

BLU-109 type bombs are penetrators, and not MK84 I believe the GBU-24 from DCS is based on BLU-109, I don't remember. The F-15E would have the GBU-15, AGM-130 and GBU-28 by now.

The jammer, RFI and DTC are the most important features missing. They've started redoing the rotor so I guess we may see this features next year, maybe the DTC this year. The progress of this aircraft was fast but then the aircraft suddenly got like "forgotten"
