NeedzWD40 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 25 minutes ago, Raptor9 said: The version of AH-64 they are making pre-dates MTADS and the TEDAC, despite what was shown in the teaser video. If you go by strict 2002 date, then there really shouldn't be any Block IIs in number. Majority would've still been Block I (the first Block II aircraft wasn't delivered until 2003). Given the relatively slim available evidence currently, I believe the key words are using a 2002 era manual (with changes) as a reference for a later aircraft. As a point of interest, much of that manual that I'm certain is widely referenced also has inclusions of various features that were uncommon until a few years later. Just because the date doesn't match isn't an exclusive indicator over what will or won't be there. Further, there's a ton of mix and match going on: you can find AH-64A with CMWS, AH-64D Block I with ASPI and CMWS, AH-64D Block II with TEDAC and standard exhaust with no CMWS -- there's very few hard and fast rules. It takes a trained eye and it's better to roll with "this year, this unit, this deployment, with these capabilities." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaemonPhobos Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 En 16/1/2021 a las 14:33, Sinclair_76 dijo: 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?

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 5th photo is from a VUIT UAS interoperability test,(UAV datalink and control), that display wasn't integrated into production versions, neither D or E. Besides, that area is for the HDU storage compartment. 6th photo is from a block 3/ apache guardian crew trainer, you can differentiate because of the digital Secondary flight display at the left, the modified comm panel and the VU2 emergency control head located at the right console. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
