As stated here:

we are getting the MTADS and the MPNVS systems in DCS which were part of the "Arrowhead"  update:

Skimming over this article:

the TEDAC was also part of the Arrowhead upgrade. So am I right in supposing that the DCS Apache will have a TEDAC or am I missing something?

The M-TADS upgrade consisted of the removal and replacement of the ORT and DVO with the TEDAC and Day TV system. 

Hence, DVO and ORT are completely incompatible. However could run M-PNVS and LegacyTADS but no DVO and ORT .

Considering ED is modelling their LBA based on the well known publicly available document.

It's quite likely TEDAC will be implemented since it's functions are described in detail.

Also, from an implementation perspective, I think the TEDAC has the advantage that they don't have to add an extra "sight-mode". It is basically "just" another MFD. Makes thinks easier, especially in VR.

Yup, I was checking some documents, first mention I see for the CMWS (visible panel on right side of ED released pictures) being installed comes from a study guide from 2009.

However I don't find it in a systems handout from 2008.

If we use that number (after mid-2008 to 2010), TEDAC implementation is pretty much 99% sure.

From what I've heard CMWS was originally kinda just slapped on and stuff about it was added to the proper documents quite a bit later

The problem is that the CMWS doesn't appear to be just the panel, it eventually received MPD integration and specific ASE icons at least in 2011.

However I don't know if this integration was already ready in 2009.

That said, being a CMWS equipped aircraft while using an ORT would be like... Technically possible but a weird choice of an aircraft to model.
