Yeah, it's probably a side effect of increasing the engine power. I'll take a look at it. I might also make a non-Longbow AH-64D so people don't have to do the .ini edit to remove the radar. Dels

Yeah, that will be because you have another Stinger in your weapons folder. The one included in the package has a SpecificStationCode to avoid that. Dels

Hi all, I've updated the Apache package after some suggestions from the community. Download here: AH-64 Package Ver 1.1 Here are the details: VERSION 1.1 CHANGES/ADDITIONS ----------------------------- -New cockpit glass reflection texture. -Changed AGM-114L to CGR and added Hellfire rails to the 3d model to overcome the issue of engaging moving targets. (Thanks to WhiteBoySamurai for this idea and thanks to FastCargo for letting me use the 3d model of his Hellfire rail) -Changed loadout types so the AH-64A cannot be loaded with the AGM-114L Longbow Hellfire. -Changed the Specular and Glossiness levels to make the skin look more matt. -New hangar and loading screens. -Some FM and performance tweaks. (Thanks to EricJ for some suggestions) -Completely new M261 model made by me. I have also made the M260 rocket pod, Hydra rocket with a M229 warhead and Hydra APKWS with a M151 warhead.

Version 1.1 uploaded, fixes and additions listed in first post. Dels

Hi Kiwi, I'm not sure which weapons pack BeachAV8R is using, but you could probably PM him. Alternatively, you could post in the applicable mission topic. Yes, you will need to edit the loadout.ini if you want the weapons automatically loaded. Dels

I'm pretty sure the only ambient noise sound (other than engine noise) is the windloop which increases in volume/intensity as airspeed increases. Also, the game sounds are limited to those that are coded into the sim, so I think you may be out of luck unfortunately. Dels

I don't want to point out the obvious, but have you added the cockpit file name to the main .ini file? (i.e. F104C-10_65.ini etc.) Dels

Dude, that is a seriously good idea. I'm amazed I didn't think of it! I'll add that to the improvements list. Dels

Yes, there is a hole at the back of the canopy where I did not build the frame, so you're probably seeing where the canopy ends. I did adjust the yaw/pitch figures in the _COCKPIT.ini so it couldn't be seen, but you may be able to see it if you're using a custom view. Dels

Dan, I'll check tonight. But you might be able to figure it out as they should be in the same heirarchy as the radar. Just check out the .OUT file. If you're really keen on the AH-64D Apache (i.e. non-Longbow AH-64D) I can easily make one up. Gepard, yeah I tried to come up with ways to not have the main rotor detach but failed. The Apache FM will allow it to glide without the main rotor. I know it's unrealistic because loss of the rotor in a real helicopter=death. Thanks Malibu, exactly what I would have said.

Yeah it does. I'm not at my computer at the moment, but check out the .OUT file. I named all the meshes so it should be something like 'Radar' or 'MMWR' and should be attached to the 'Radar_Base' or something like that. Dels

Yeah, I have thought about it. Just need to find the drive/motivation...

For those who don't know yet, I have recently released: A-1H/J Skyraider Package and AH-64A/D Apache Package. This year has been tough for me, but I'm finally back to normal (or normal as normal can be). My plan for the future is (in release order): KC-130J KC-130J Harvest Hawk Wiki info MC-130J Combat Shadow II Wiki info MC-130H Combat Talon II I'm also considering updating my C-130J cockpit. Not sure of the time frame, but at least it's something to look forward to. Dels

View File AH-64 Package for SF2 Ver 1.1 This is my AH-64A Apache and AH-64D Longbow Apache for SF2. (should work in Gen 1 but is untested) DDS skin version and Photoshop templates are also included. Please read the readme.txt. Glad to finally get this one out there. Enjoy!

Ian, I have this issue with my Longbow Apache. Unfortunately, there is no rack for a CGR however you can use ATR for both LGRs and WGRs. The drawbacks are that LGRs will still bring up the TV screen and (a major one in my opinion) that they're no longer fire and forget. In my opinion, you have two options: 1. Only use them on stationary targets, or 2. Make them IIR or TV guided. (yes, brings up the TV screen) A compromise, but both of these achieve the fire and forget capability. Dels

Yes there are several post about how to fix this. Just replace what you have with this: [Canopy] SystemType=ANIMATION InputName=ANIMATION_10 DeploymentMethod=MANUAL AnimationTime=3.0 AnimationID=10 (or the animation id for your particular aircraft) Dels

Thanks, I'll keep you in mind. Dels

I can have a look at what I can do with the model (I'll add it to the list). As for the templates, I can't help you there. I updated/finished a model that wpnssgt had already made, so the skin was already made. I'm not sure who made it, sorry. Dels

I do have the original files. What sort of update did you have in mind? Yes, this is on the top of my list after the Apaches. Dels

Well real life has finally taken a break from kicking my @$$ recently, so I thought I'd post some cockpit progress shots. Shots below show the different MFD screens with different HUD modes: NAV Mode Left MFD: Moving Map, HSI and Nav data Right MFD: Engine and System Status A/A & A/G Mode Left MFD: Radar and TADS (not shown) Right MFD: RWR, ECM and Countermeasures Dels
