This is my best guess too. If I had to pick dates I'd say 22nd or 29th December, barring any last minute hitches that may arise. Looking at the to do list Wags posted in the Mini-Updates thread on the 25th Sept ED still have an awful lot of work to do between now and then.

Clean Posted October 11, 2021 Posted October 11, 2021 Based on the pre-order and launch difference in times, the Hind was 82 days, so the Apache would be December 29th if they're identical. I hope it's before that too! 1
Yuto Posted October 11, 2021 Posted October 11, 2021 mid December sounds about right imo, they have 3 months to finish everything and so far its looking good 1
Mad Dog 762 Posted October 11, 2021 Posted October 11, 2021 The Apache seems to me to be progressing very quickly. I am pretty sure we are going to see it sometime between Turkey Day and Christmas.

evilnate Posted October 11, 2021 Posted October 11, 2021 I think 3 months is a good prediction, so my expectation is set at 6 months. 3

If I still can’t fly in early 2022, my expectation won’t be violated.

rrohde Posted October 11, 2021 Posted October 11, 2021 Pre-purchased as well. Cannot wait. I remember fondly playing Jane's Longbow 2, scanning the area for targets, assigning targets, launching Hellfires in LOAL mode, then popping up one more time to get good locks with the missiles on the way.

I would surmise that the answer to this is "When it's good and ready and ED are satisfied that their customers will not rage at them for releasing a product that is not up to the standard that those customers expect." <Insert (IMO unfair) references to the Viper launch here> 3

AvgeekJoe Posted October 12, 2021 Posted October 12, 2021 Whew, good I can preorder on 3 November and not have FOMO…
BeastyBaiter Posted October 12, 2021 Posted October 12, 2021 My guess is we'll start getting tutorial videos as it approaches, just like with the Hind and other recent modules. I wouldn't expect it to hit our PC's until all the basics are covered (startup, navigation, shooting). 1 1 System specs: i5-10600k (4.9 GHz), RX 6950XT, 32GB DDR4 3200, NVMe SSD, Reverb G2, WinWing Super Libra/Taurus, CH Pro Pedals.

In the last video from Wags he mentioned that from now on, we will start by getting the tutorial/lessons videos and no more sneak peaks... so maybe already this week or the next .

Dont take that as a reference as dev personnel are shuffled around just as quickly depending on other projects needs. Hint F-16 vs F-18. Banned by cunts.
