Tom P Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) Greetings Pilots! This is an AH-64D Apache Course is a simple but effective training mission that you can use to practice and improve your craft from being a "Zero" to a "Hero" on the digital battlefield. - There is no scripts so you never have to update anything. - Aircraft are set up so you can multicrew with a buddy if you want. - All aircraft are hot start, minus range 12. - Simple & Effective kneeboards - The mission is set up in 12 different ranges, each range has its own spawn. So if you want to do range 1, select the range 1 spawn. If you don't know how to do something check the kneeboard for the range you're on. - Each range you spawn into will give you a quick brief from range control. For example if you spawn on range 7, you'll be prompt to switch to the front seat and have George hover you at an altitude of 150ft. ——— RANGES ——— 1: Navigation Basic - Work your way through 5 waypoints that are pre-loaded into your TSD. 2: Navigation Advanced - Enter the given waypoints into your TSD and fly the route. 3: Landing & Hovering - Practice your landing and hovering, also has an obstacle course 4: Hellfires - Practice using the hellfire missiles from the CPG seat 5: IHADDS Rocket Range - Practice using the rockets with your IHADDS 6: Rockets Long Range - Practice long range rocket engagements from the CPG seat 7: IHADDS Gun Range - Practice using the gun while slaved to your IHADDS. 8: Guns Long Range - Practice long range engagements with the gun from the CPG seat 9: Positive Identification Range - Practice PID against similar looking vehicles. 10: Boats: This is your deck landing qualification (DLQ) Range. 11: Barrier Shooting: Fly behind cover & concealment and engage the enemy 12: Radios: Learn how to set up radio freqs If you're still learning the basics of flying the AH-64D Apache and want to continue using this mission, I highly suggest going to range 3: Landing & Hovering and follow BradMick's "AH-64D Flight lessons" playlist on youtube. —————————————————— - Check your kneeboard! - If you want to do a different range, go back to spectators and select a new range. - If you want to redo a range, restart the mission, and go back to the range.

Eaglewings Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I flew the Navigation mission. I must confess the concept behind the creation of these training missions is fantastic. The in-cockpit display of guides is brilliant. For a complex module like the Apache, these mission comes in very handy in learning and reorienting oneself again.I think ED training mission should take this form of in-cockpit written guide instead of voice-overs that are sometimes difficult to grasp. A hard copy reference guided instead of timed displayed message gives you the chance to read and learn at your pace.The idea here should be expanded on for training missions I salute the effort of the creator of this training missions and I wish other systems and weapons trainings can be added.Sent from my LM-Q730 using Tapatalk 2 1 Windows 10 Pro 64bit|Ryzen 5600 @3.8Ghz|EVGA RTX 3070 XC3 Ultra|Corair vengence 32G DDR4 @3200mhz|MSI B550|Thrustmaster Flightstick| Virpil CM3 Throttle| Thrustmaster TFRP Rudder Pedal /Samsung Odyssey Plus Headset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skypickle Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Very nice. Additional topics to consider adding: creating, sending, receiving firezones jtac/afac w nine line trainer (there already is such a simple mission in user files) buddy lasing for an AI 1 4930K @ 4.5, 32g ram, TitanPascal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom P Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 Yeah I originally had more ranges planned but there's only so much you can do with another AI, for example sending and receiving datalink. Figured if most people wanted to really know the could watch a YouTube video, for example my FCR one. *Shameless plug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
