LOOOL

 

Model looks is really nice.

The UH-60L DAP would be a very unique choice.. would open up all sorts of possibilities..air refueling, inserting troops..plus all the same weapons rockets and missiles of the Apache..

If I had a single choice I would go with the AH-1W.. just a sexy beast :)

first of all your avatar pic is amazing haha and those are some sick models/skins

now we just need some tie fighters

Putting Hellfires on a Black Hawk (DAP or otherwise) is rather unrealistic. Even DAPs don't use Hellfires, they use the 30mm and rockets, that's all. Part of the problem (though not the only one) is that U.S. Army Black Hawks don't have a laser, so must rely on ground forces to lase the target. Not very flexible.

Yeah, and doint forget the Stingers for the Longbow and a 16xAGM-114 loadout!!! , and L K version? ;-)

How to make flyable Apache in DCS?) Anybody knows?

Isn't it better to wait for the official release? It's not there yet, but it's coming.

I have no clue of programming a flight sim, so this is just a guess....

 

when the apache is modeled for dcs, wouldn't it be easy (in relative terms) to model the mi-28 havoc too, because of the great similarities of the two in layout, performance, and systems?

 

since the havoc is becoming the main attack chopper of the russian army and it is the russian equivalent to the apache, it is more than worth to have the mi-28 in dcs. :thumbup:

 

i would love to fly the havoc in a desert campagin....:)

Nexion, first of all it's not just a programming question, it's an information question. There are huge sections of the avionics and weapon systems employed on the Mi-28 that are very much classified. It will therefore be impossible for ED to make a faithful simulation of it unless they end up getting a military contract to do a simulation of it.

 

This is the reason why it's going to be the AH-64A being simulated in DCS, most likely. Because the Longbow radar system and so on are massively secret and it is therefore impossible to make a true to life product - again unless they get a military contract that gets them more knowledge, as happened with the A10C.

 

Also, simulating the aeronautical behaviour of the Mi-28 is not made easier just because you have a similarly performing helicopter already made. The simulator works with very exact modelling of airflows, inertias and so on - it does a lot of the physics involved in making the real thing fly, not just a model approximation of the behaviour such as you would see in most retail products like Microsoft Flight Simulator and (for that matter) ED's earlier product LockOn.

 

So, sadly, to get the Mi-28 into DCS you'd most likely have to persuade either Mil or Russian Army Aviation that they should commit to a transfer of knowledge to ED and (best case) contract them for a simulation.

lol, the picture in the first post of this thread looks like a toilet from the future.

 

I'll take 3.
