FalcoGer Posted September 30, 2023 Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) I found an image. It shows the pilot's cockpit of an AH-64 variant with the TSD page open. I don't recognize some of the symbols on there, what are they? This appears to be a star of some sort, labeled SHR. There are more of them, with different labels, this one appears to be the most in focus one there is. Then there are those chevrons with a dot on the bottom. They all seem to be labeled with numbers. I thought at first that maybe it's an emitter, but it's not yellow, the symbol doesn't look right and there are some that are not on the edge of the screen. It looks like some kind of terrain feature (aka hill) maybe? But that would be a hazard point, which would also show yellow. What are those? And how can I tell which AH64 variant this is?

bradmick Posted September 30, 2023 Posted September 30, 2023 The first one is a ground light, the second is a tower obstacle. The quick start/updated manual has a section on TSD graphics, recommend you check that out. Wanna say it’s in the appendices IIRC 2
FalcoGer Posted September 30, 2023 Author Posted September 30, 2023 The ED manual says the symbol should be yellow for towers, it is in game, and from what I can tell from other sources it should be yellow in the real aircraft, too.
ED Team Solution Raptor9 Posted September 30, 2023 ED Team Solution Posted September 30, 2023 The cockpit in the linked image is of a British AH1, which were essentially Block 1 AH-64D's license-built in the U.K. by Agusta-Westland. License-built aircraft and their avionics can differ in many ways compared to domestically-produced aircraft variants; which may account for why the tower symbol is green and not yellow. It is of no consequence. 1 2 Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man. DCS Rotor-Head

I thought that too, but if you look at the knob in the original image (despite being fairly out of focus) you can tell it's set to DAY. However @Raptor9 is still correct. You can see below the MPDs the aircraft ID plate (ZJ219), which corresponds to a Westland model. The EUFD is also different (the rockers/pushbuttons on the sides aren't the same as ours, image). The SHOW and PSN options are also swapped on the TSD.
