[PytonPago]

There is just one advice after seeing this :

[Uriah]

ähmmm...far too little ammunition for the bird

Christmas presents can be strange things. Some are not what you would have expected, sometimes for the worst, but sometimes for the best. Here is the Christmas gift from the Apache team, and it's probably not what you were expecting - but we hope it's a cool one anyway

One of the models had a camera bug and the pilot view was locked to the horizon, not following the aircraft roll. The result is surprisingly cool.

It's also the first public video of the new Apache. I hope you'll enjoy the astonishing work Gerardo and Uriah did with this aircraft




Obviously, all content is WIP

Thanks for posting this awsome video Acetone! I finally had a chance to watch the entire thing. I fixed the level horizon "bug", but it is actually incredibly easy to "un-fix". By the way, you totally hit the ground under the overpass!  That means you are officially the team stunt/test pilot!!! 

ähmmm...far too little ammunition for the bird 

Well, the stores pictured above actually greatly exceed the full loadout capacity. What is shown is nearly all of the total inventory, for example the Apache could carry up to 38x Hydra-70 rockets at once, or 16x AGM-114 Hellfires, or alternately up to four drop tanks. Certain models can also be fitted with wing tip launchers for the FIM-92 Stinger (4x) or AIM-9L/M Sidewinder (2x).

But you do have a point, enough is NEVER enough! Not shown are the decoy flares and chaff! You can also add or remove the Fire Control Radar (AN/APG-78).

By the way, all of the external stores, ammunition, fuel and additional equipment are dynamically accounted for in the weight, center of gravity and drag in the flight model, so they will effect the performance, handling and system functionality.

Best regards,
Uriah

Here is the finished Hydra-70 2.75 INCH M151 Rocket:

A few screenshots from McChord Air Force Base with the new 90 x 90 meter hangers. The hangers use only four small grey value albedo textures, and the color variations are achieved by modifying the materials. The textures are tiled, with only 256x256 and 512x512 textures for the walls and doors and one 1024x1024 for the roof. Performance and quality is the name of the game!

magnificent

Whats that plane ?!? 

[Uriah]

Boeing C-17 Globemaster III. It is a low poly static object with 4 LODs. Eye candy with good performance!

[sniperwolfpk5]

love the details of the 64D

[ZeosPantera]

This thing is a grand spectacle. Bravo

[PRiME]

Very nice, like the loadout options. Is it possible to make it shoot realistically ingame atm or we still waiting for more munitions features to come out for that to happen? (customizable ballistic scripts?)

Thanks! Sorry, I somehow missed your comment. And I apologize to everyone who has been waiting, it has been a very busy couple weeks. I'll have an update on the status of alpha release of the Apache by tomorrow.

As I mentioned on another thread:

Im i understanding correctly? These missiles you have mad are acually already guidable, or?

I have simulated laser guided air-to-ground missiles, AGM-65 and AGM-114, which are working well. Fire and forget seekers, such as radar guided and/or air-to-air, are much more complicated in terms of the interface with the engine and their guidance algorithms. Currently, I can designate a target with a laser and the missile will attempt to hit the spot on the ground where the laser/camera is pointing.

Bombs, rockets, and missiles are simulated using the same JSBSim physics as aircraft.

Here is a video demonstrating missiles being fired from bongodriver's EuroFighter Typhoon.

Uriah
