Thank Cod I don't have the money. ;)

Just give it to me!!!!
Hurry before the software gets blockaded as part of sanctions.  That would suck. :mad:

For those intending to get the Apache, I started some study aids for the cockpit familiarization.  I'll be adding some for the screens and symbology just to help ramp up to speed while waiting for the release.

I ordered one of these to work my TEDAC.  I'll have it setting between my stick and throttle and can pick it up when I am in the CGP station.

For the MPD FAB (the bezel Fast Action Buttons) I intend to use a series of VoiceAttack commands to press like "Right T1"  "Left R4" for the right MPD Top 1 button and left MPD right 4 button, etc.

This thing is going to make my head hurt. ;)

Apache gun video


https://youtu.be/UsDBqD7pcCo

Videos seem to be arriving at a quicker pace.  Maybe they are getting closer to release. 

Btw, not that it matters much, but if you want this forum to show the preview, you have to get the link from the "share" button below the video not the browser URL and paste in a youtube markup block (see the button above the emoticons.  Why the browser url not work?  I dunno.

Fk that!  If I got a boom stick with rounds you think I'm waiting on a cold start?????  Bahahahaha.

I won't use anything but Win+Home for at least a month anyway! ;)  Release the Kraken.  The cold start and grease fitting videos can come after launch!  They can always go to the -10 for that.  RTFM!

Let me re-format what I typed above

when waggs puts out the start up video for the apache the release of the aircraft will happen shortly afterward.

OK.  Wishful thinking.  More like "before end of March."

But damn, it's looking sexy.

I added study aids for the MPD  Fuel, Eng, and Flt pages.

I guess IHADSS/TADS symbology is next.
