82nd-Sweet Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 To have a AH-64 in multiplayer senario's could be pretty cool, using the front and backseater system and having 2 players in 1 aircraft.
Mike Busutil Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 That would be Awesome! It would suck for the gunner when the pilot looses his internet connection or leaves...

OutOnTheOP Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Well the symbology is focused to infinity, so no real need for a separate focus there. The real issue is when you have more than symbology on the IHADSS, such as PNVS or TADS FLIR video. Then it gets a little more difficult, because in real life, one eye does not see the FLIR video, and the other eye does not see the cockpit. Even harder, and I can't imagine (yet) that anyone would ever even bother to simulate it, but the FLIR video is from the viewpoint of the sensor, not the pilot's eye... The ultimate effect being that one eye is in the cockpit and can see the cockpit interior, and the other eye is on the nose of the aircraft, and can see the FLIR video (with superimposed symbology, of course). This is what typically causes headaches (literally) for Apache pilots..."switching eyes" to see either the FLIR video and outside, or the cockpit inside. For this reason (and a few others) AH-64 pilots are no longer allowed to both use IAHDS and FLIR at the same time. If one pilot is flying by FLIR, the other must be using NVG's, not FLIR. Typically, the pilot in back will use the IAHDSS with FLIR video, while the copilot/gunner in front will use NVG's and just flip them up for engagements using the cockpit displays. No, I meant focus as in "paying attention to", not "bringing rays of light into alignment". My bad.
AlphaOneSix Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 No, I meant focus as in "paying attention to", not "bringing rays of light into alignment". My bad. No worries, i'm a windbag and I have a terrible lack of common sense...just ask my wife.

EagleEye Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) It would suck for the gunner when the pilot looses his internet connection or leaves... As long as a pilot is in the seat he have full control off the flight controls. If he is disconnected/wounded/dead controls move to the gunner. Seatswitching (something you may know from Battlefield series, but with restrictions) would also be an option, sure it`s arcade, but for the sake of playability it would be ok for me. Sure there would be many problems and solutions are needed and the pros/contras could be discussed to dead, though it would be a huge addition to the game.

redpiano Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 I reallllly want an AH64D, the Black shark is nice but I don't care about the blackshark the AH64D to date probably remains the only modern aircraft I would be willing to really study it out and learn it from top to bottom. I hope Combat helo is coming this year cause I'm so tired of waiting.

Mike Busutil Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 Lack of funds.????? All they have to do is say they are going to build it and ask for preorders, I'm sure we would flood them with enough money.

redpiano Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 I believe combat helo was put on hold a while back. Lack of funds. I think he actually said it's just on the side for now as he's writing a book on scenery for the unity engine, but what little talk there has been it kind of sounds as if it's coming along at some point. He did say funding was an issue as well and that he's looking into indie gogo and such but I dunno, I just hope someone makes an Apache sim soon; there's basically none in existence unless you're willing to look at crummy 2d cockpits and very outdated visuals.
