  1. Expensive tree trimmer. Heard those rotors were 80K a pop. Probably more now.
  2. What was that noise at the end of the video?
  3. Certainly. https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/research/a21071/us-commandos-to-arm-apache-gunships-with-lasers/
  4. It's pretty much that simple. Any customization is in your saved games folder.
  5. How not to land. Don't forget to invert those toe brakes if needed like I did.
  6. Remember it well. Had a 1040 ST and an Amiga 2000. Leaps and bounds above the 8 bit machines.
  7. Only C and D models at Kadena when I was there in the mid 70's but I'd still like to see ZZ on the tail.
  8. Two weeks.
  9. I'd like to be able to hear the missile tone above the wind sound. Missile volume is turned all the way up. If I turn the computer volume louder the wind gets louder too.
  10. I don't know if it's legal though. Seems the DoD would be all over it if still classified.
  11. I was half joking but it was suggested to me by my brother who flew one of the first 100 A models released to the Army. The applicable version is available.
  12. We all want it now. ED knows what's best for their product. Have faith.
  13. I thought the swinging hook was overmodeled.
  14. The Cobra would be a good one to train in. If only.
  15. I've been practicing ILS approaches in zero vis. My brother mentioned that changes to power does not affect pitch as much in the real bird as it does in DCS.
  16. I'd buy at least 2 copies of an EB-52 Megafortress.
  17. Multi-core performance improvements will certainly be welcome but I don't use VR and have a machine powerful enough to be very satisfied with the current state of performance. New modules are what interest me the most. Anxious for the AH-64D, F-15E, and a couple of the older birds, A-7 and F-4.
  18. Enjoy your time off. We wait patiently.
  19. To win you must pop them only when they light up.
  20. I think if you execute an autorotation properly you may not notice the effect he mentioned to me. If you pull collective too soon you'll stop your descent too soon but still have some left to prevent falling to the ground. It's been a long time since he flew the Army Huey and he didn't fly it long as he went on to the Cobra and then Apache when it became available. The way he had me practicing is to flare at 100ft and pull collective at 10.
  21. Greek to me.
  22. It's unlikely I will ever fly a real Huey so if the modeling is a little off it's close enough for me. I don't expect major changes to a module this old. I hope the flight modeling of the Apache is close enough to keep actual Apache pilots interested.
