No offense but wouldn't it be better to have a daylight pic of the Apaches so we could actually see the new textures?

Downloading now...

Should there be a new relase in future, I'd realy apreciate if you set damage inflicted by Hellfires to realistic level (I think BAS' AH60 Hellfires are good reference).

2. Any changes to the cockpiy interior?

I'm basing my question on your pic. There is a mix of dark green in the dark black texture.

Also, is that the BAS woodland SOAR camo pilot you got in there? Is it the standard pilot for this addon, because the original pics have the BIS pliot, and I'm confused.

Didn't Silesian made a magnificent retexture of this?

I know this one have new sounds and FX, but...

Never mind, I'll try this one aswell, looks nice.

BTW, Helifreak, if you do an update on that, it would be nice to have a realistic weapons loadout.

Looking good.

[lee_h._oswald 0]

Yes Avon, and because of my dark monitor, I also see a black looking apache in my pic.

The pilots. This addon comes with bis pilots, but first testing an addon, I place it empty on the ground and take a close look at it. I choose SOAR pilots to look at it.

---

Silesians apache is also very nice, and the best thing: It has better textures on the hellfires.

In my pic you can see bis hellfire textures. I downloaded silesians apache right now to have the "new" hf on the black apache also.

I'm sure you can up the brightness/gama in one of several ways to bring out the colors on your monitor, no?

Have you got working d/l link? I tried to download it a few days ago but the link was dead.

So here we go again.....

I planned to make a completely new model, so I could make other animations like working dampers, cockpitdoor animations, and so on....

But for those animations you need to make named selections and axes in the modelfile....thats why I planned to make a new one.

But unfortunately my time is very limited, and so I wanted to ask BAS for their model...but until now they haven´t answered my mail.

If I had a new model, I could do a Longbow Version, too.

@AvonLady: There are no changes in the interior, due to the fact that I wasn't able to change the BIS model ;P

If BAS will allow my to use their model, I will make 2 Versions, a normal and a Longbow. Then I will search for new sounds for the

weapons, and change the weapon loadout. Another thing is that I will ask Silesian for permission to use his Hellfire textures, and I

will do 2 Versions, one with BIS pilots and one with BAS pilots.

All right so far, any other suggestion for the final version?

Helifreak:

A version with 16 Hellfires and/or 76 FFAR would be nice, if you get a response from BAS. (When they found your mail in all the spam they get)

And, is it possible to be gunner AND commander of the chopper?

You are not able to hoover with an AI pilot and look out for targets or give the ai a direction to look at.

He just flies with speed 120....

"2 HALT!"

"Roger."

He won´t stop....

[Helifreak 0]

Of course it is possible to define the gunner as commander...just one little entry in the config ;P
