AH-64D Apache Longbow - British Retexture [REDUNDANT]

Description
Please note following the update by the original creator of this modification that now adds in RAF textures, this mod is now redundant. If you have a preference for this texture I will update the mod on request.

PERMISSIONS

I reached out to Voodoo on the official Discord and sought permission for this retexure. While granted at the time, he and his team hold the right to ask for the removal of this retexture at any time. That being said, I would like to thank Voodoo for his support and the hard work of him and his team since they began this project in 2017. You will find a link to Voodoo's social on the right hand side.

Below you will find the original description for the AH-64D Apache Longbow - Official Project. For those interested, a British Retexture now comes default.

THE AH-64D PROJECT

First things first, this project officialy started in February 2017 but it wouldn't have been possible without Franze & Nodunit's original work on A2, and their agreement to push it open source - hats down guys. The main goal of this project is to bring (like never ever before) an high fidelity AH-64D aircraft on A3 considering the engine limitations; this mod does directly aim towards simmers and real life pilots. Keep in mind, a lot of features are still WIP as the code is really complex.

HOW CAN I CONTRIBUTE TO THE PROJECT?

Everyone is free to contribute as long as the provided work matches the initial project direction. Feeling interested ? Hop on Discord, PM me or leave me a message on Steam. You can also contribute to the project differently as other valuable ressources joined the project by bringing in some of the knowledge they have, from real world UH-60/AH-64D pilots to hardcore simmers and rotary wings enthusiasts. Also make sure you check out the AH-64D Project GitHub for most recent code updates. I'm currently looking for C/C#/C++ coders, an RTD developer for flight model tuning and a 3D artist to join the progress.

PREFLIGHT SETTINGS

This version of the AH-64D is NOT meant to be flown with Standard Flight Model (SFM). In order to avoid bugs, make sure you do have the following settings within A3, with Advanced Flight Model (AFM) enabled :
  • Enable Auto Trim
  • Enable Rough Landing
  • Disable Wind Effects
  • Disable Stress Damage

can you make the helicopter launch like in a regular game and the weapon control and other things be normal but not like a simulator ?... the apache prayer is made cool...

You need to add the TADS MPD page and TADS Sensor switch. The IHADSS should also display the IHADSS modes in the display. The monocle ORT should be in gray scale color rather than green.

For those that may be interested the Official version had been updated recently, with alot of textures including British Textures :steamhappy:

I don't know for sure the name of the vision that the pilot uses when clicking with the right mouse button, but your mod was the only one that was able to zoom in and after the last update is no longer possible.

Hello, been trying to get the AH64 running on my dedi server, do you know if the keys are working? Will try yours now :)

That would have to be an issue you take up with the developer of the mod lad.
Hinde  [author] Aug 31, 2019 @ 9:00am 
@Imnotpixelcat; I would think that could only be down to config of the aircraft. You'll either have to change that manually with editor or Zeus. Alternatively, I'd recommend opening the vehicle in 'config viewer' and looking for lines relevant to fuel on spawn, then editing those in the source files.
