Chuck's Guide to the AH-64D is finally available!

*** 

Link: https://chucksguides.com/aircraft/dcs/ah-64d/


*** 


I am a few months behind schedule and I apologize to all of you for that. This project was a huge undertaking, and I still have trouble wrapping my head around the fact that I started working on it back in March of this year... 9 months ago. As they say in the business, I was stuck in scope creep hell for a while.


The Apache is one of the most complex modules in DCS, but I do not think it is prohibitively difficult to learn. The page count (770) might seem daunting at first, but keep in mind that the operation of the AH-64 is overall not that complicated once you understand the basics. It's a machine of war with modern capabilities that can do many, many things in all sorts of environments.


As some of you may know, the Mudspike website is shutting down. With the help of a kind and generous soul, I have found a new home at https://chucksguides.com/, which is where you will find the latest versions of my guides. The next few weeks will be a kind of "test run" to work out the kinks and see what works (or not) with the website. Expect some changes/improvements down the line, but I believe what we have now is functional enough to be useful to the community.


Happy reading and Merry Christmas to all of you!


Chuck

All of these guides are required reading, they're so well put together. An absolutely invaluable resource for anyone even remotely serious about using DCS. They have personally helped me a ton.

This is such a great Christmas present - thank you!  I've not wanted to even try to learn the Apache until your guide was available, and I'm really looking forward to digging in now.  Thanks a ton for all of the effort on this!!!  🙂
