Don’t we typically get a flurry of videos before release?

The only answer I’ll accept is yes…

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 Cato’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 we’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 more…

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 I’ve been flying mostly Helos lately, if flying at all- I don’t have a good memory at all.

I mean- I really like how this looks.

Don’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. I’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.
