Raven434th Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Just flew the apache for 40 mins...flew around trees ,power lines and towers, came to a hover, sped up tp 90 ,came to hover ... rince and repeat numerous times.....and only touched the collective twice. At takeoff and landing. This seems very odd to me.

Amarok_73 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 And for me, finally I am able to use the stabilization modes fully! Even still a bit too sensitive altitude hold is not a big deal! I can fly hands-off focused on avionics maintenance. What a relief! I was waiting for this feeling since last Christmas! Whatever is done in the future regarding the flight model, I hope there will be some option to adjust the stabilization parameters to at least achieve the current effect if necessary.

HE5405 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I found the opposite, felt she was more prone to rolling under SAS than previously, had to adjust a lot more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pii Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I didn't see anything about FM but I found her to be handling a hell of a lot better and is now much more controllable when low and slow. The auto-hover is hmmm not so much and can't hold the bird steady, I can get it to hold the heading and go hands-off now so that's good. The only other thing I checked out was the cool landing with grass and dust being kicked up animation, nice! Overall A big thumbs up from me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poptart Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 The hover hold seems to be more tolerant of motion greater than 4kph at high altitude but it oscillates a lot. At low altitude it is a mess. Couldn't really feel much change in the FM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying it is a real joy. Love this update so far 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBorner Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I also had the feeling it got way more stable and easy to fly. Considering I could fly in the past in an empty singleplayer map MUCH better then in MP - might it be that it just got easier as game runs better now?

Mystic-J Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 I do feel as well that the AH64 is much more stable to fly in 2.9. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee1hy Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) Now, SCAS (blue bar in CTRL+ENTER something) frequently intervenes in the tail rotor, making it more stable. There is a need to check whether this is game balance or logic that IRL Apache's DCS development team missed. Hovering is now possible without ATT mode.

HungryCoyote Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 For some reason, today I can take off, hover and land without ever touching the rudder. No trim or attitude hold. Only collective and cyclic inputs. Never seen this before in the Apache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a need to check whether this is game balance or logic that IRL Apache's DCS development team missed. This indicates that Heading Hold is engaged, which has been there since the initial release of Early Access. The only thing that was added a few months ago was the blue "hold mode" indicators on the Control Indicator overlay so that one can see when the hold modes are actually engaged with the flight control servos. This reflects the accurate behavior of the AH-64D's Heading Hold, which is always enabled any time the aircraft is not weight-on-wheels. The specific logic of it is described within the Flight Management Computer section of the DCS: AH-64D Early Access Guide. In the 2.9 update last week, the Heading Hold "breakout" values were implemented for when Attitude Hold is also engaged, so that the Heading Hold can still be overridden with the appropriate magnitude of pedal input. Prior to 2.9, the Heading Hold "breakout" values were only present if Attitude Hold was disengaged. 2 Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man.
