Excellent guide!

 

One small note that I noticed, you have the labels for Gas Generator and Power Turbine rotors switched.

A page number would be helpful. Are you talking about p 223?

Chuck...... man your visual communications skills are in the super-elite. Your guides are....... let's see..... what I've always said about Jennifer Lawrence will do......"no room for improvement".

I hope you'll get a "chuck"le out of this...... putting this with most tactful approach I can muster; I'm sure I'd read in something I'd stumbled upon at Reddit that you were involved in a mortal boating accident. I've actually grieved with curious frequency over that when visiting the Mudspike source of your superlative guides, and/or marveling at them 🙂 

You appear to be quite vital....... definitely among the animate, and vital to the betterment of many 🙂 Seriously, it's a good news experience on this end and I'm sure you're at least as happy to hear "he's ALIVE!!!!!!!".

Now for more profuse thanks and kudos......

Be well, best regards from Chesapeake Bay.

@Charly_Owl thank you for this fantastic AH64D guide!

Maybe for a future update i‘ll like to encourage including a George AI functions on page 761.

Since a few updates ago George AI as CPG/Gunner can select targets/ lase targets without a weapon controlled by himself. This allows Player as Pilot control and launch  Hellfire on his own very easy.

I use this option more and more often as LOAL HI engagements work better this way for me. Search and select targets works as default. But gives me more control on engagement as I shoot the missile by myself and order George to lase after missile launch when I want him to do. Sure, not the normal procedure, but I like the manual hellfire control. 

There‘s a small downside, as you get no TOF message, but doesn‘t matter much for myself.

Well looks like I need to replace my X52 pro if I want to set up any programs. So far it's been a real challenge without being able to see anyone else's example. All the examples are other types of Hotas. 

Suggestions on which one to get within $500.00. I have rudder pedals so no need to replace those.

Virpil collective base + some grip. Apache one can come later. I have tm warthog hotas but now I would prefer Virpil base + extension + some stick. Expensive but heart breaking.
