New AH-64D Pack

[franze 196]

This is a completely new AH-64D - new model, textures, etc.

It's not completely finished, but before I can finish it, I need to know how well it works. So, this is a open beta for everyone to try and tell me how much it sucks ( ).

Well rather than just goof with it myself, going to put this in the hands of a couple of real Apachee crews who are used to VSB1 and OFP1 and get their input on this.

[franze 196]

Oh trust me, it's not going to be anything like the real AH-64s. I doubt they'll have much to say about it.

[Bobcatt666 0]

Have yee faith, the Captain is cool, and so is most of his group. The guys over at DM love the new A10s, shuld please the Army Rotorheads... Think they been jelouse...

Looks pretty cool! Think I'll have to take this baby for a test flight

I just took it up for a test flight and it was great man, good job!!! You know when I saw your first screen shot I thought it was a WAH-64D. Slap a Royal Army roundel on there and wham! You'll have given us something a lot of the community has longed for, an WAH-64D to escort the Lynx, the Pumas, and the Sea Kings that have been released, and air cover for the PUKF infantry . Keep up the great work man!

wow..the laser designator works very well, painted target, switched to hellfires, locked on laser and boom

All this with AI gunning, i wonder if it works in MP?

the the britsh army WAH-64s differ from their US army counter parts more than you might think, they have different engines which provide 20% more thrust than the US army version, a new avionics pakage and the rocket pods we use are different to, if u want to read up on it i suggest u go here, its the armys page for its new WAH-64

ohh yeah, gonna try that one out

Looks like Apache-season is open. We've waited 3 years for a good Longbow and now at least 3 diffrent models are at work.

that's what i posted in the comments of ofpc.de some minutes ago. but it is closer to 4 year waiting...

No, its closer to 6 years. Because that was the first time I noticed OFP

Sweet. Going for a test-flight now.

WHA

Gonna try this right now!!

looks like the longbow radar is a bit small btw, when looking at the screens.

mods;

there is also a topic in the A&M:C now, perhaps it's better to merge these two threads together.

Nice flight model. Powerful Hellfires (I like that )

A few issues (prolly known). Sys-mfd does not show damage. AI gunner tend to turn off the laserdesignator after a while when it is on and Hellfires selected. Doors can be opened during flight. A few pointless MFD-pages (placeholders for something to come?): FLIR and map.

Top-speed a little low. Should be closer to 315km/h.

Missing texture on compass in pilot pit (I assume pit-textures are not done).

Looks like a clipping issue looking at the gunner's head from the pilot pit. His neck is visible through the upper-part of the pilot dash. Navlights are cool. Need a light on the tail too.

All this might be nitpicking but that is just because I'm suck a huge Apache-fan

Looking very good overall. Huge potential. Keep up the great work, mate

Will do (placebo will do that is).

I really enjoyed flying with this. But the blue colors on the missile pods are not really my thing. But all in all, a good addon.

[gandalf the white 0]

some pictures of crashed Apache's: (inspiration?)

A thing i noticed is that the "flare" system works even when the engine is off, I landed the chopper on a fence (so it tumbled upside down) , took the AA launcher of it, and fired at it.. no flares, but the missle did take a diffrent path...

If the flare system is supposed to work without power(?!) fix it so the flares are visible, if it isn't... well.. .

Nice work on the chopper! I see something big coming up here!

Excellent work Franze!

I love the MFD functions, suspension script, and the model is great.

For the final I'd suggest consulting with Footmunch to define the materials and add specular highlights.

I wonder if the target-sharing script from DKM's Tunguska could be adapted to the Radar Longbow? With this, having the radar turned on makes you more visible to the enemy, but your wingman can be sharing your target info, sneaking in for the kill in Radar-off mode

Great work anyway - it's almost like playing Longbow2 again

Cheers,

DKM's Tunguska's scripts lag way wya to much to use..

and this thing lags every time an helo is shot down..

[Stelios 1]

Ok, did an MP run with it, it went well. Only think that sucked was my (non-AI!)board gunner, that guy should stick to the ground work. Even while i was busy evading hills and RPG's i could still notice an opfor lining up his Strela for a shot, sadly my gunner did not..........

Elite chopper though, good job.
