Hi Cerulean,
I had exactly same issue on day 1 of release, perfectly fine in all other mods, but the Apache was like looking a bunch of photographs. I logged a case with support, and here is what they told me to do, and it worked for me, been perfect ever since;
By the way, before I post their response, check your system memory usage in Task Manager when in the Apache, mine was 100% of 32GB. Anyway, here is the support thread;

I run Repair option (for Steam: Verify Integrity of Game Cache), but it did not help
Yes

Module
Other or new

Game version
DCS World Open Beta 2.7.x

Your version installed from:
DCS site

PC specs
Intel® Core™ i7-5820K 12 Core Processor, 32GB RAM, 1 x 500GB SSD, 2 x 256GB SSD, 1 x 1TB SSD 4 x 4TB Western Digital Mechanical. 2 x ASUS GTX 1080's SLI, ASUS 29" Ultrawide flanked by 2 x 22" IPS Monitors

Hi Support,

I have tried without SLI as you suggested, it made no difference

One thing I have noticed is the amount of RAM usage goes through the roof when loading up the AH-64D

I ran perfmon and ran two tests, both in OpenBeta

 1. Ran the cold start training for the F/A-18C and my RAM usage, of which I have 32GB, went up to about 67%

2. Ran the cold start training for the AH-64D and my RAM usage immediately went to 98 to 99%

When I 'End Tasked' the DCS session, my RAM usage down to  26%

I repeated the test fr om a clean restart of the system, and the results were the same, I even loaded up a few other Training Scenarios for other aircraft I own, all the F's series fighters, all of which went to about mid 60's to low 70s %

I suspect there maybe a memory leak somewhere within the AH-64D code that is only more evident on certain systems. I am going to log this support, as I have been waiting for months for this module, money laid out as soon as it was available for pre-order, downloaded as soon as I knew it was out, booked 3 weeks Annual Leave, and not managed to log a single minute of being in control. I can't even push the ESC button to get out of the module

I am not sure wh ere to get whatever logs you require. I have attached the perfmon log I ran with the first test. The perfmon starts when I select the first F/A-18C training (Cold Start) and then on to the Cold Start for the Apache
