Phantom_Mark Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Being ex-AAC the Apache has a special place in my heart, just had a super quick first test flight and it feels awesome, and challenging in equal measures, everything feels pretty much as I expected it would, and the best chopper I have flown in DCS so far. Can't wait for this one to flesh out, great job so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the NODS and IHADSS in your field of view, it works perfect with an HMD on your face. It just feels right. Not an intended thing but a working consequence. Also, the controls were daunting at first but messing around with things and I'm starting to feel less stupid. And, if you haven't tried it yet, fly from the front seat. It's a blast! Anyways, just wanted to express my excitement so far. Looking forward to the flights to come. Again, GREAT job ED!!!

Toge Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Simply amazing work. Playing single player for now, and I've yet to find a bug that would in any way take anything from the experience. Just flying the Apache feels so rewarding, and really fulfills those childhood dreams that were born with Jane's Longbow 2. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick33 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I wasn't that hyped for the Apache, I thought it might be too much of a flying computer for me but I find it far more intuitive than I thought and can actually blow loads of stuff up after just a few minutes! I play exclusively SP and jumping between seats and using the AI from either works very well and it feels great in either seat in VR. So I have switched from being a bit cold towards the hype to thinking this may be a milestone in combat flight sim development. 2 AMD 5800X3D · MSI 4080 · Asus ROG Strix B550 Gaming · HP Reverb Pro · 1Tb M.2 NVMe, 32Gb Corsair Vengence 3600MHz DDR4 · Windows 11 · Thrustmaster TPR Pedals · VIRPIL T-50CM3 Base, Alpha Prime R.

S. Low Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I keep checking bug reports section and it seems new reports have slowed quite a bit. I don’t have a good reference point but to me it just seems like really impressive EA work. Good job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devrim Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) I have said many thanks to all team and ED in various platforms; here and social media before, but, every time I sit in the Apache's cockpit, I feel to say thank you again and again guys. Some may say I or some of us are exaggerating this too much, but NO, not yet. Even only taking off and landing ability would enough for me for an E.A. phrase. ED did awesome and fabulous job on this aircraft. Thank you ED! <-saying this while crying and clapping...

AstonMartinDBS Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I'm glad, that the long wait was worth it. I loved Jane's AH-64D Longbow, but the extraordinary level of detail of the DCS version is just impressive. Thanks for this great product! It took me several hours in total to configure and finetune my HOTAS controls, but I think I have it. Wags tutorial was a great help to find the important bindings. Now I can set my focus to the systems.

TZeer Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Massive thank you to ED for this awesome module! A very good EA release. Although some bugs here and there, already an impressive product. Looks like they are on top of things in the bug report thread Looking forward as this module matures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niehorst Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Is it only me, or does it feel like the hype gets even stronger after release?? I feel like back in the days of Janes's Longbow 1/2 flying single mission hot potato or hornet's nest. Thank you ED for keeping it up all these years. It was and still is a pleasure to see the community grow and get blasted off my flight seat with modules like that! 2 NZXT H400i case i9 9900k @ 4,9GHz (cooled by NZXT Kraken X62 4x140Fan - Push/Pull) Asus RoG Maximus XI Gene with 32GB G.Skill CL14 Samsung M.2 970Pro 1000GB ZOTAC RTX 2080ti Triple Fan 11GB 34" RoG Swift Curved TFT runs smooth like Beck's Gold :D HTC VIVE pro eYe (still freaking out!)
