This is a really beautiful update.

Cheers

I think the price is a little steep just for a few cockpit textures, although having done quite a bit of texturing in EE2 myself, I know how time consuming it can be to create/enhance a quality texture. So to be honest if I had the oportunity to save myself hours of work by spending a few bucks ive got no complaints.

I probably would have paid for ARNEH's Apache, as well as Tango's Hi res Sharkpit in DCS in the past.

All efforts to mod/enhance this game and others are appreciated. Now if somebody can get to work creating a multiplay server browser GUI utility that offers click to join, that would be a nice addon.

ps- regards pricing, low price = high volume sales. Would you make more money selling cloths pegs, or motorbikes?

Ok I couldnt help myself and purchased the pit. Unfortunatly it seems im not getting the high resolution that I expected from the slideshow

I checked the texture folder and it seems that my install is using the bmp texture, but should be using the HiRes texture contained in the dds file. Is that correct?

**Edit**disregard post. I found the problem. I had previously backed up the AH64 textures some time back. The game was looking at these textures so I moved the folder elseware, which enabled your pit. Nice work it looks great.

I had no problems at all with installer. However I noticed that when I make changes in the gfx card drivers to the highest setting (using catalyst from Ati here) it is almost like the real thing...

For me personally it gives a whole new dimension to EECH and I hope more are to follow...

I think Aeyes cockpit looks fantastic.

Have to stop thinking free-lunch. I got into a phase where I was spending good money (which peaked at $300 in a single month) on Microsoft Flight Simulator add=ons. If the sim in question was MSFS and this was a payware add-on for it, I wouldn't bat an eyelid in shelling out for it.

Nothing wrong in getting paid for good work and this looks first rate.

Bought it last week, and it really looks good on my new widescreen monitor. I finally had to kick Longbow Gold and Longbow 2 to the curb. WAH!!

Aeyes will have to learn cyrillic to complete the other pits. According to the forum at cockpits.nl devoting the time to creating new pits for EECH depends on the success of the new AH64D cockpit. Hope it takes off!

I hope the AH64 pit succeeds as well, as I'd like to see some detail go into the KA52.

After putting a healthy amount of time in DCS BlackShark ive found my self drawn back to EECH. Apart from EECH's dynamic campaign engine I also like the combat systems in the EECH pits which although lacking the detail that is offered in DCS, EECH still offers a more complete, and varied set of combat systems.

eg:

DCS offers, a superior flight model, and an optical targeting system, similar I guess to EECH DTV

EECH Apache and KA52 offers, FRC, TADS, FLIR, DTV, Periscope, IHADS, RWD etc. More that enough to fill up an X52pro profile. Both sims are complex in their own way.

Of course i'll agree DCS BlackShark is the best Helicopter flight sim ever made, but not nessesarilly the best heli combat sim ever made. My opinion anyhow

AEYES pit is very nice addon for this sim.

Hi guys,

Not been on for a while. Amazing things as always from the community here. I will come out and put my hand up as one who contacted Arneh about the Apache cockpit textures. Long story short, new baby + system crash took me away.

Probably not a great deal of demand now due the the fantastic work done by Aeyes, but here is a link to the only surviving (recoverable) 'work in progress' texture I made about a year back..

If there is enough demand for it, I could always start over... although I doubt it will be as good a quality as Aeyes'. I'm considering getting the texture pack myself hahaha.


Stoley.

I have asked this in other threads, but this thread may be relevant.
Does anyone have the dimensions for the AH64D cockpit?
I would so love to build a cockpit for this sim.
I have trawled a load of sites without success to date.

Regards

will these hi res textures work with Arneh's upcoming avionics modernizaton update?? They sure look nice...
