Ditch3r Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 While digging around through some of my photos I came across some AH-1Z photos. I took some of these when I was working on the program, and the others came from friends of mine working on the program. Enjoy :) These are just a few of the literally thousands I have lol https://www.youtube.com/@ditch3rgames
Yellonet Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 I guess I know what you want as a flyable...:P Nice pics :) i7-2600k@4GHz, 8GB, R9 280X 3GB, SSD, HOTAS WH, Pro Flight Combat Pedals, TIR5
Sundowner.pl Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 Well actually that helo, if done with all the bells and whistles that Bell-Textron is offering - It would own the DCS battlefield. I especially like the idea of dual-role cockpits, when on both seats you have the same controllers, and where pilot/gunner seats is purely of their choice... plus that TopOwl helmet looks really nice.

Ditch3r Posted October 18, 2007 Author Posted October 18, 2007 Actually I don't care to have it as a flyable. I would prefer a CH-47D or E myself. But they have a soft spot in my heart. ;) As for it dominating the battlefield.... it would be able to hold it's own, but from talking to the test pilots, most of them actually preferred the older Cobra models. A LOT of the technology in the Z is just unreliable right now. Of course this will be improved and systems will become more reliable over time, it's a process. The dual role cockpit is handy, and it can be very nice if one of the pilots is incompacitated during flight. The new controller looks like it was directly taken from the Playstation too. It was rumored during engineering stages that they acually used a PS controller to get the right "feel" for it. lol https://www.youtube.com/@ditch3rgames
