Good call. Confirmed. I've just been sidetracked and haven't posted this myself. It's like the view is hitting the 3D model.

Great community. Training and cadre are top notch. DCS for pilots wanting more but with common sense approach to your time.

ALCON, I just wanted to have a better understanding of the AH-64D hold modes, so I created this learning module. It's how I learn, sorry...but I shared this with my online squadron and thought I would post it here as well. It's just cherry-picked information from the excellent manual and presented in a way that that focuses on key elements of the topic. Feedback welcome. AH64D_HOLD MODES COURSE.pdf

Thank you for looking at this. I was under the impression for some reason the FCR would ignore returns outside of the PFZ. After reviewing the manual and watching Wags video, the FCR PFZ is behaving as advertised. Thank you for following up. Next time I’ll RTFM. lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

FCR PFZ Test.trkCurrent version. Track File Attached. FYI, NFZ working properly

Tracking PFZs aren’t in RMAP but the traditional GTM is now ignoring active PFZ. Wasn’t sure if this was a known issue or is currently being investigated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Confirmed on a group flight earlier in the week. I will reproduce and provide a trackfile.

Doesn't get a ton of missions built for it, but I think the Sinai map is great for low level ops. Syria is the default answer here. Good map, ton of missions built for it. Alot of multiplayer server support for it. I don't own Normandy, but I'd like to know what others think of that map for helo ops.

Played around with the manual stab at slow speeds today. Pretty nice not to have to look over the nose all the time. Thanks for the topic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We fly pretty regularly in an organized group. On cold starts we have to cycle the IDM rocker off the DL freq and back to it in both seats then it works. Hope you get it fixed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Loader to my knowledge. He got out in the mid 70s.

Have anyone seen any Seymour Johnson F-4 liveries? My dad was an ordinance tech in the 70s there with deployments to Thailand. DM is you hear or see anything.

This video pokes a little fun at the military online training curriculums, but it does have some good info for pilots wanting to tackle multiplayer in DCS. Enjoy. **updated sound levels and made spelling corrections** Everyone will need to watch the video and get their certificate to their section leaders.

Just posted an updated kneeboard plus the AH-64 Quick Start Guide Abbreviated Cockpit Procedures over on the User Files section https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3321891/ Here are the PDFs if you want them for printing.

Try this. I have an HP G2 and I could really tell a difference. I have an older pc. Basically gets you off of Steam VR.

Big thanks to ED for including the NGARNG livery. I was surprised when I seen the 130th in the drop down list. Awesome job!

Just formatted the ED information provided in the DCS AH-64 Apache Quick Start Guide. They should get all the kudo's for providing an excellent reference. I just formatted it a little to fit my Army eyeballs. Update: Added DOPPLER and RADAR ALT checks DCS AH-64 Start Checklist.pdf

The text reads... Page 97 in ref to TGT ....Each engine incorporates a TGT limiter within the Digital Electronic Control that will limit the engine to a maximum TGT of 867 °C degrees when under single engine conditions, or 896 °C when under single-engine conditions. I believe it should state...867 C degrees when under duel engine conditions. Thank you for everyone’s hard work. The Quick Start Guide is great and I really appreciate the team releasing it.

Lol fair point

Can we post some sweet pics without the Work In Progress watermark? I think we are all tracking, its a WIP. Those are some sweet desktop backgrounds that are going to waste.... Looking forward to the AH-64, thanks for all the hard work. v/r

This looks like me trying to land on a pad at a FARP. Who was filming me?? lol

Very interesting thread. Thanks for posting your work. If the light is green on the map, do that include the airspeed switch to DISS-15 still in the down position?

If you have a pinkie button, make it a Modifier in DCS. Go to adjust controls, make sure F-16 sim controls are selected. At the bottom, there is a button for modifiers. Add a new modifier. Make sure the X52 is selected, and pull that pinkie switch. It will now be a modifier. Its button 6 for me i think. From there, go back to the controls, and now you have twice the buttons. For example, the stick has two hats. My top hat is TMS, but when I hold my pinkie switch, its also my countermeasures management switch. Same for the lower hat. Primarily I use it for DMS but when the pinkie its my trim hat. It works great for me all over the HOTAS. I do have a profile I use, but its only for creating the throttle mouse axis into bands. I use that to slew my TDC. Let me know if I there is anything I can do to help. I have a X52pro, but I'll try. The software isn't very intuitive but let me know if there is anything I can do.

If you use the Logitech software you can change the slider into bands. So you can slice the slider into three sections. When in the forward section it hits key, when in middle section it hits key, and same for aft. The challenge is getting that key to repeat. Example I slide it back I hits the speed brake key once. I’m sure there is a way to repeat but I haven’t dug into it enough. Just thought I would throw that out there. Bands is how I turn my mouse mini stick to a radar slew. If you want more info just let me know.

Awesome. Thanks for testing this out!
