Donā€™t we typically get a flurry of videos before release?

The only answer Iā€™ll accept is yesā€¦

Less likely EA release, and more likely opening of pre-orders are nigh, at this point.

ICYMI, a Wags update at the ED forums

Dear All,

Time for a little update on the DCS: AH-64D. As you may have gathered from the videos, progress has been excellent, and we are well on track for both the pre-order and early access release this year. We hope you have been enjoying the sneak peek videos and Catoā€™s fantastic show cases. These are created for the dual purpose of building customer awareness (one of our biggest challenges as a small company) and providing you a better appreciation of what you would be pre-ordering. An informed customer is a happy customer (generally).

Although weā€™ve been able to show off quite bit, there is still much work to do before an early access release. Some of these items include:

  • AI flight takeover
  • AI command system
  • Front seat/Back seat cooperative multiplayer synchronization
  • Add attitude and altitude hold modes
  • Tune flight model, SCAS, and SAS
  • Radios and radio pages
  • Damage modeling (art and systems)
  • Complete all systems required for a cold start
  • Voice message and tone alerts
  • UI art
  • Training, instant action, and single missions
  • And moreā€¦

So, while I understand many you are repeating the ā€œrelease it nowā€ mantra, I think you will agree that all the above items much first be addressed. No one wants a repeat of the Viper launch.

Also, once the pre-order starts, I will pivot to the full-up training lessons to help prepare you for the early access release.

Kind regards,

Wags

I thought some of you might like to see the full FLIR image behind the WPN/RKTS page.

Does this looks like a new FLIR?
It looks better than I remember but since Iā€™ve been flying mostly Helos lately, if flying at all- I donā€™t have a good memory at all.

I mean- I really like how this looks.

Donā€™t think so. The trees should be more transparent otherwise. This is still their ā€œtank camo colors are hotā€ rendering technique.

I have been getting my Black Shark on for the last few nights. Its awesome. Iā€™m still sparring with some vehicles. Its not the way to do it but less boring than being at a standoff range all the time.
Its amazing. One second youre hammering supply trucks w the cannon then an armed 113 shows up and im all like ā€œSwitching to SHKVAL!ā€
Of course this is all to get ready for the Apache.
