huchanronaa Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) Members 108 posts Regarding the development progress of ah-64d I feel that the development of the AH-64D model has not been able to fly in the air so far, and the speed is much slower than expected. This can also explain why the pre-order will be delayed twice from February to May This is a bad omen. The ah-64d module has not been able to fly in the air so far. I am pessimistic about whether it will be officially released before the end of this year. Edited June 15, 2021 by huchanronaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team Raptor9 Posted June 15, 2021 ED Team Share Posted June 15, 2021 There is zero evidence to support that copy/paste statement from the other thread, especially since the first post in this thread literally shows the AH-64D in flight. But we all have our opinions, and we all have our own expectations. Keep in mind that (as someone that has been playing DCS over a decade) as far as I can remember every single module ever developed for DCS World has been delayed in some form or fashion, as has almost every major video game in existence. 2 Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man.

It will be early access as mentioned plenty of time and like it happen with basicly all DCS modules, but dont worry that module might break record sale for ED, they know this and they also know that they can't really afford a second disastrous release, this will in turn take time. Anyway, how long did you hopelessly hope they announce the Apache before they did ? 1 year ? 5 ? 10 ?

S. Low Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 After getting my hands on the hind and enjoying every second of it, all I can say is I’m even more stoked for my Apacheboi. Plz gib. Cant wait. Gimme gimme. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashMcGhee Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 It'll get here when it gets here, this could well be their most ambitious in house project yet. On the bright side, it's officially announced, which means it will happen. ED has a proven track record of delivering on products they announce. They may be late, but that's the nature of game development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel_Thunder Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Saw that too in the Marianas trailer. Looked pretty good. Though having been stationed there, I cannot recall seeing Apaches ever flying around Guam. Don't think there were any based there. Saw plenty of SH-60's though.

Lurker Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I wasn't that excited for the Apache Longbow. However after flying in the Hind in Multicrew, I have to say that my excitement for this upcoming chopper has increased an order of magnitude. I am having so much fun with a friend just flying around in the Hind, while he is busy learning how to fire and guide the ATGMs that the possibilites that the Longbow will bring to the table in that regard can't be ignored. 5 Specs: Win10, i5-13600KF, 32GB DDR4 RAM 3200XMP, 1 TB M2 NVMe SSD, KFA2 RTX3090, VR G2 Headset, Warthog Throttle+Saitek Pedals+MSFFB2 Joystick.

Captain Orso Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I only found DCS one day about 6 years ago, because I was thinking, "hey it's only been about 20 years since Jane's Longbow came out", and I didn't even have a PC that could run it at the time; had to be happy with playing Gunship and Gunship 2000 , "somebody must have put out a serious sim of the Apache in the meantime". Echoing voice fading into the darkness: "... somebody must have... could have... should have....." DAMNIT!! But I did find my second favorite aircraft of all time, the P-51D HOTDAMN!! Move over Dick Pretty and I've been hooked ever since. So I've been looking forward to putting my butt into the pilot's seat of a really good Apache sim for over 20 years. I know this module is putting many very new innovations in DCS to the test - two-man-crew, AI-crewman, ground radar, advanced weapons systems out the kazoo, maybe even an update to the IR world (I can dream can't I). So if it takes a bit longer, by-god, it takes a bit longer. I don't want a rush-job, I want a blow-you-out-of-your-seat-job. To all those who think the delays are a bad omen and are pessimistic, well that's just your opinion, man. 6 When you hit the wrong button on take-off System Specs.

kseremak Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I've heard Boeing is ending its suppurt to the AH-64D and encourages foreign buyers to upgrade to AH-64E Guardian standard. It may be the reson why ED was able to negotiate the license for AH-64D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Team Raptor9 Posted July 25, 2021 ED Team Share Posted July 25, 2021 Aerospace companies typically don't just "end support" for their aircraft unless they have no further contractual obligations with any of their customers. It's not like software (ie Windows). When countries place an export order with a defense contractor, a contract is agreed upon that entails a certain number of spare parts, equipment, and personnel support for a period of time. If an aerospace company breaches that contract and just drops the support, they will quickly find themselves lacking any future contract requests from their customers. Companies don't go around just dropping support for multi-billion dollar aircraft fleets. Most likely, if there is any truth to the claim of that post, Boeing is simply no longer offering AH-64Ds as a potential purchase to any export customers, so they can completely switch their entire production and remanufacture program to purely E-model, which will ease logistic requirements. The US Army, even with a good portion of units already converted to E models, still operates the largest 64D fleet in the world, and I guarantee Boeing isn't just "ending support" for it. 3 Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man.
