Bedouin Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 Hey, I tried looking trough a Google search, but couldn't find any good ones.. I would like som pics of the pilots cockpit, so i can start plan my home cockpit changes, so would appreciate it, if any have some Thanks in advance. 1 .
Sinclair_76 Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) The cleanliness of this cockpit is nearly unparalleled. Almost no hard switches, except for collective, cyclic and TEDAC grips. Does someone know what the display is just below/aft of the processor select panel (rh lower corner) on the 5th picture? Edited January 16, 2021 by Sinclair_76
Nomatic Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 Awesome! Thank you! I was going to start my research this weekend as well! If speed is death…, buy a Honda and live forever.
ED Team Raptor9 Posted January 16, 2021 ED Team Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) A lot of the photos that were posted above are from different models and year groups. If ED is in fact making an AH-64D Block 2 from 2002, the 1st and 3rd photos would be the closest to the correct config of the Pilot/Aft cockpit, but even those photos aren't quite representative of the 2002 config. For the CPG/Forward cockpit, the most accurate would be the last photo with the ORT display, but it has the older UFD panel in the top right. The TEDAC display came years later, and the 3rd picture of the CPG cockpit (2nd from last) is actually from an AH-64E. Picture 1) AH-64D Block 2 sometime after 2006/2007 timeframe Picture 2) Some sort of 3D render, but it's actually an AH-64D Block 1 Picture 3) Same as 1) Picture 4) Same as 1) Picture 5) Possibly some custom equipment in the bottom right hand corner of a foreign Apache. But looks like a simulator setup of an AH-64D Block 2 of the same era as 1) Picture 6) Simulator of an early version of AH-64E Picture 7) AH-64D Block 1 Edited January 16, 2021 by Raptor9 4 2 Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man.

bies Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Do someone know our AH-64D from 2002 already had "double grip" collective or some earlier "single grip" variant?

Sacarino111 Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 Damm it! 6 buttons MFD's! Really? Will have to accomodate the TM MFD... Nice pictures, by the way. Thanks a lot Saludos. Saca111

Honestly without screens on the TM MFDs sometimes it's harder to press the right button vs just clicking it in the virtual cockpit.

(esp in VR) Maybe, but I can't make myself used to lifting the hand off the stick(unable to use left hand), grab the mouse, follow/chase the button on the screen (as I move my eyes, I move my head slightly, therefore the button), press it, undo, press it again correctly and back to bussiness! Instead, sensing the button and pressing it is much faster and less prone to errors. But...." this is the way" Saludos, Saca111

But...." this is the way" Saludos, Saca111 That's why HOTAS is so important, one reason I prefer the 16 to the 18, I can navigate the MFDs much more effectively (ehem 16 with a functional DTC ) Of course not all functions on the MFDs translate to HOTAS buttons but the important ones that would be used during combat are, everything else is more than likely done under autopilot or when trimmed out. Not sure on how the HOTAS aspect works on the AH-64, but with all those controls I would hope the pilot can do the job without pressing MFD buttons.

Hook47 Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 I've been around a lot of Apaches in my time and I've never seen a cockpit in as nice shape as that second picture!

phantom0gritz Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) My only question is whether we're getting Legacy TADS or MTADS. The first few pictures of the Co-pilot/Gunner Station (CPG) are of the TEDAC (ie MTADS) and the final has an ORT column (ie Legacy TADS). I'm buying it either way I just want to know what I'm in for. There is quite a bit of difference in how you operate the two as well as some distinct capability differences. Edited January 22, 2021 by phantom0gritz 1

ED Team Raptor9 Posted January 22, 2021 ED Team Posted January 22, 2021 The version of AH-64 they are making pre-dates MTADS and the TEDAC, despite what was shown in the teaser video. But I'm not on the dev team, so take everything with cautious skepticism. Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man. DCS Rotor-Head
joelsi Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 The 2002 manual ED is basing the Apache on has stuff on both MTADS and TEDAC so what we get may not have the avionics configuration an IRL US Army AH-64D would've had in 2002.
ED Team Raptor9 Posted January 22, 2021 ED Team Posted January 22, 2021 I guess it depends on what Change number they are using, if any. Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man. DCS Rotor-Head
