Sinclair_76 Posted January 16, 2021 Share 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?

Nomatic Posted January 16, 2021 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team Raptor9 Posted January 16, 2021 ED Team Share 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 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Do someone know our AH-64D from 2002 already had "double grip" collective or some earlier "single grip" variant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

phantom0gritz Posted January 22, 2021 Share 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.

As the teaser trailer had M-PNVS, it's a pretty reasonable bet that M-TADS is in the package as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team Raptor9 Posted January 22, 2021 ED Team Share 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.

joelsi Posted January 22, 2021 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team Raptor9 Posted January 22, 2021 ED Team Share Posted January 22, 2021 I guess it depends on what Change number they are using, if any.
