JOEM423 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Has the Radar been implemented yet? I saw a video by Wags and it showed a Radar Scope on one of the MPD's! Isint the Radar dome specifically used for the Radar inside the aircraft! Or had the Radar Dome been implemented before the actual radar usage? Im new flying the Apache and may not be well informed! Thanks in advance Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance Joe The FCR is currently cosmetic only, but ED is working in implementing it, hopefully, within the next few months. IIRC, the FCR was the next thing on their roadmap to implement after the datalink, and we just got DL in the last major patch. So, my best guess is sometime by Q1 or Q2 2024 you'll see the FCR implemented. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inexus Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) I could be wrong but didn't Wags say that the FCR would not be ready for the patch but 'very soon' after it? I may see if I can find it. Update - found it. "We also understand that many of you are looking forward to the Fire Control Radar, or FCR, for the AH-64D. This is being done in parallel by our radar team, and they are making great progress. In fact, I’m sure most of you have noticed the previews. While it is not planned for the 2.9 update, it will not be long after it. We will first release it with Ground Target Mode, or GTM, and this will allow you to detect, track, and engage units. It will also tie into datalink capabilities of sending and receiving Priority Fire Zones and No Fire Zones between Primary members."

dedlike. Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 my hope is that "Very soon" means maybe still this year ( considering how far along it has come considering the snipeds we have seen of it in the vid ), we will know more once we get the good ol "hey everyone wags here from.. " about the FCR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bri01 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I thought (could be wrog) I heard on the Mover & Gonky show yesterday. Wags said he was starting to work on the fcr videos. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunslinger52 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 It'll be awesome when fully implemented. I think in the beginning it's only going to display moving targets.

NIGHTHAWK1 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Will we have to update every AC in every mission via mission editor to show the FCR radome or will ED be able to develop a universal change for all AH-64s?

You had to actively deselect the FCR for each AH-64D in every mission, as the default is FCR selected. So I am sure you need to revert every AH-64D you edited by hand. Though realistically the ratio of FCR equipped AH-64D should be around 1 out of 4. 1 Shagrat - Flying Sims since 1984 - Win 10 | i5 10600K@4.1GHz | 64GB | GeForce RTX 3090 - Asus VG34VQL1B | TrackIR5 | Simshaker & Jetseat | VPForce Rhino Base & VIRPIL T50 CM2 Stick on 200mm curved extension | VIRPIL T50 CM2 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Plus/Apache64 Grip | MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals | WW Top Gun MIP | a hand made AHCP | 2x Elgato StreamDeck (Buttons galore) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoYo Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I must admit that it looks very present on the Wags' videos. Cant wait simply! I wonder which patch will bring FCR, whether it will be in December or January with Phantom . I'm starting to like Apache again. This is one of the most important functions, and the video shows that you can actually attack from behind an obstacle. Minus is only FCR range.
