Machine1964 Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 Your simulations are top notch. Like them all. Please let next release be the Apache Longbow. Haven't had a good one for years and with your physics and graphics engines I'm sure it would be the best to date. Thanks.
cailean_556 Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 Your simulations are top notch. Like them all. Please let next release be the Apache Longbow. Haven't had a good one for years and with your physics and graphics engines I'm sure it would be the best to date. Thanks. It's more so about acquiring the requisite technical documents to fully simulate the aircraft. The AH-64D Longbow is still in widespread service with the US Army, and much of its systems are likely highly classified. I do believe they intend to produce an AH-1 module, unsure of the variant - I'm hoping a 'T' model, as I like the angled canopy rather than the rounded one personally - so that might be a bit of a compromise. It's still a twin-seat, narrow profile attack helicopter. However, I'm not sure who's working on what without referring back to the ED and 3rd Party developers lists but in terms of helicopters, the Mi-24 is being worked on. Plus they're also working on a number of fixed-wing aircraft such as the F-14A/B, F-4E, F/A-18C, F-16C, F4U Corsair, P-40 Warhawk, P-47 Thunderbolt, MiG-19, an aerobatic biplane I won't be purchasing, the Yak-52 and A-29 Super Tucano (both of which I will be purchasing) and a number of other aircraft that've hinted at but not confirmed. If we were to get an AH-64, it would likely be an earlier variant like the A model. Sadly, it's unlikely we'll see an Apache of any variant as a DCS module any time soon. That being said, it would be a welcome addition.
Pasquale1986 Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) To clean that up a little bit, here is a list who is working on what: ED is working on: - F/A-18C (with Belsimtek) - F-16C (with Belsimtek) - P-47D-30 - Yak-52 3rd Parties are working on: - Mi-24 (Belsimtek) - F-4E (Belsimtek) - F-14 A/B (Heatblur) - P-40F (VEAO) - F-4U (Leatherneck) - Aerobatic Plane (Leatherneck) - Mig-19P (Razbam) - A-29 Supertucano (Razbam) - Mirage III (Razbam) - BO-105 (unknown - Miltec-5 dropped out) - JF-17 (Deka Ironwork Simulations) Beside that there is work on unknown modules going on in the Backround. I would check Silverdragons very informative thread regarding planned, confirmed and rumored modules: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=116893 For example the OH-58D is still on polychops radar - platform is pending, heatblur is working on an unknown module and so on Cheers Edited April 26, 2018 by Pasquale1986 Main Module: AH-64D Personal Wishlist: HH-60G, F-117A, B-52H
Mr_sukebe Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 IIRC the Apache has already been discounted due to the classification of technical info 7800x3d, 5080, 64GB, PCIE5 SSD - Oculus Pro - Moza (AB9), Virpil (Alpha, CM3, CM1 and CM2), WW (TOP and CP), TM (MFDs, Pendular Rudder), Tek Creations (F18 panel), Total Controls (Apache MFD), Jetseat
cypc Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Wags said in an AMA video a couple month ago that for the AH-64, the question was more WHEN than IF. So it will happen, and if ED does it, it will hopefully come just after the F-16. "You don't rise to the occasion, you fall to your level of preparation."
