Bushmanni Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 AH-64A would provide all the important stuff that a proper attack helicopter needs to have and in a well thought out battle tested and tweaked platform. The weak points of Apache aren't issues for simmers (price and maintenance requirements). Longbow is just an even more refined version with radar which isn't the kind of super SA system like it's portrayed in media and games. You will still get shot down by unseen MANPADS in AH-64D just like in Ka-50 if your tactics and SA suck. Getting a simplified D model would be worse than getting a properly made A model.

snuffles Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Man, I'd just like to see whatever military combat helo ED/third party devs can get their talented hands on. I'm very pleased with their work so far, and am not about to criticise them for not being able to work on a product due to Government classification. I don't always openly list my things. But when I do, I put it in my signature.
Miro Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Any! Combat Two seater Mi-24/AH-64/Ka-52 I think we can forgot about Longbow (Clasified Systems) :( :pilotfly:
BiBa Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 All Helicopters in the proposed wish list have two-seat Cockpit for two pilots or more like in the UH-1H Huey. As long as there is no option in the Graphic Setting for an independent second view monitor, it makes no sense to purchase those. The second pilot must have his own view, to control the Heli! Until that happens, I remain for the meanwhile in the one-seat Ka-50th Since its creation, FSX offers the option to choose multiple window views. As such, DCS has a lot of catching to do.

Belphe Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) Is AH-64 (A/D/E ;P ) possible in DCS and why not? Hi, I apologise if a similar thread already exists but my search brought nothing of the sort of a thread I intended to start. If I did miss it, I am sorry. :) So... lately I've been flying the Huey (currently only flight is achievable - no such thing as landings for me yet...) and in the trill of excitement, browsing youtube for some Vietnam War videos showing Huey in action I watched a couple of clips with Mr.Apache. I surfed from one video to another only to realise that an hour has passed while I was reading and watching various materials about that helicopter. I knew it was a great piece of engineering but... Wow! WOW!! W-O-W!!! :D I would love to be able to fly that thing in DCS! The Series already accepts projects that require more than one person to operate so Pilot and Weapons Officer (?) would work, not to mention Coop Mode (Rise of Flight and it's bombers & strike aircraft prove it is achievable on a very high level of realism) where two players could create the crew. Majority of the systems, weapons, hell even the model are already in the sim so all the work would have to focus on flight characteristics and avionics. I know it's A LOT of work but it seems very "doable"... Now, tell me please why I am wrong... :? Thanks for reading! Edited June 27, 2013 by Belphe Never say never, Baby! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
TZeer Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 I don't see any reason for why it should not be doable. There is a lot of information out there. heck, even I am sitting on a 1000+ pages manual for the AH-64D, going over systems ranging from FLIR, engine performance, drag factors with different weapons, longbow radar usage, MFD's, icons, ++++

aussieboy Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 I fly the A and D models in DCS heaps and would love to get a functioning cockpit for them, well more function than I already have would be great. I have the manual too but my version doesn't have the drag factors or other coefficients, wish it did because I would use them.
TZeer Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Didn't bother loading, but yes, most likely. I think the main problem would be to get approval from the US Army to actually model it to somewhat high fidelity. Since ED is already working with them, I don't think they wanna do anything to jeopardize their business just to make a public simulator for the masses.
Devrim Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 I think it's about approval too. I think now we can play Ka-50, Huey etc. because ED can take permission to simulate them. ED can't take full permission about Apache. Because Apahce is fully functional today. You can say that ED can simulate a lower model of Apahce. But personally I don't want to play very basic model of Apahce. Yea I now, may be that means I'll have to wait ~20 years to play Longbow. I think I have a dilemma here. :P Intel i7-14700@5.6GHz | MSI RTX4080 SuperSuprimX | Corsair V. 64GB@6400MHz. | Samsung 1TB 990 PRO SSD (Win10Homex64) Samsung G5 32" + Samsung 18" + 2x8"TFT Displays | TM Warthog Stick w/AVA Base | VPC MongoosT-50CM3 Throttle | TM MFD Cougars | Logitech G13, G230, G510, PZ55 & Farming Sim Panel | TIR5 & M.Quest3 VR >>MY MODS<< | Discord: Devrim#1068
Belphe Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) So Huey and Ka-50 are retired...? PS. Tomcat is definitely retired and still we can't have an ultimate F-14 Sim because Iran has 2 and a half units operational... Geezzzzzzz :( Edited June 27, 2013 by Belphe Never say never, Baby!

secret1962 Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 If F-35 is possible then why don't they really make an apache...
EchoMasterMind Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 An Apache and something equal to it (Is the Mi-28 Havok considered a good match for the Apache?) would be great! Two seater action! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
martinistripes Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 I'm sure it can be done. Just no one choose to do it yet. Personally I'd rather fly an early variant than a modern one. The machines complex enough without having the longbow system. Plus I always thought that big bulbous thing on the rotor head was bloody ugly.

AlphaOneSix Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Back when the Ka-50 was still in development, there were plans for the next helicopter to be the Block 49 AH-64A. For reasons known only to ED, the AH-64A has dropped off the list. Maybe one day it will come back, maybe not. The AH-64A manuals are all approved for public release. There might be some copyright issues to work out with Boeing, but the technical details are all available legally. The same cannot be said of the AH-64D. While the Operator's Manual for the AH-64D can be found online, it is still classified For Official Use Only for U.S. Government and Department of Defense Contractors. Granted, the U.S. government is not likely to hunt down people who have the AH-64D manual, but rest assured it is not approved for public release. And until such time as it is, I am fairly confident that ED will not be simulating it.
galevsky06 Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Plus I always thought that big bulbous thing on the rotor head was bloody ugly. Ah, if it is ugly, things are done...... :lol:
Evil.Bonsai Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) My favorite sim of all time was probably Jane's Longbow 2. NOE flying the blackhawk at night with NVGs to spot in the middle of no where, drop off a spec ops squad, make it back home with no one the wiser was great fun. Also pretty cool to pop up over a ridgeline in an AH-64D, get a radar picture, drop back down, set up 8 hellfires on an armored column (with AAA), and launch. Unfortunately the DCS AI is completely incapable of flying like that. Instead of 10ft, they prefer 1000ft. Edited June 27, 2013 by Evil.Bonsai
NRG-Vampire Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 I am fairly confident that ED will not be simulating it. ED can simulate everything (and should be simulating longbow apache too) if they can simulate the F-35 :music_whistling:
