Lord God. You should do this for a living if you don't, Arneh.

Great work Arneh!!
Just when I get tired of this sim you bring it back to life!! Can you expand upon the more realistice Hellfire launch modes??? Will you sort out the Radar and laser guided hellfires being launched with proper parameters met, like a radar hellfire not being launchable when you have a lased target and FCR off??? Or in real life is that possible?? Hopefully you know all the answers now!! Thanks again, yu are the best!!
Why do people think flight sims are nerdy???

You should do this for a living if you don't, Arneh. I do program for a living. But not simulators. Can you expand upon the more realistice Hellfire launch modes? I have several pages of procedures for how to setup and fire Hellfires in various situations, so it would be too much to list all of that here And I haven't implemented this part yet, so better ask when I'm done. But it will include setting up with launch profiles (high, low etc), firing mode (single fire, riple fire, rapid fire etc), laser code for laser hellfires, activating missiles etc. Will you sort out the Radar and laser guided hellfires being launched with proper parameters met, like a radar hellfire not being launchable when you have a lased target and FCR off??? Or in real life is that possible? Yes, radar Hellfires may be fired at TADS targets. But it does require a little procedure to hand over the target from the TADS to the missile.

Just a question: are you a the only one coding EECH? No, there are others too. Although I've certainly been the most active for the last three years.

Really incredible. I gave up EECH (it was hard with the incredible Arneh Apache) when I got a new computer with Vista - but I'm going to have to install it now to get ready for the updates.
I'm truly amazed at the level of work that is being done. Turning this into a study sim is an incredible undertaking. It may not be everybody's cup of tea, but I think the pace at which the Apache is getting more and more complex is actually aiding people in getting deeper and deeper into it as the complexity deepens. It really is an incredible ride we're all on.
Thank you so much for what you do Arneh.

I haven't updated this thread for quite some time now, so I guess it's about time Not that nothing has happened, but it's mostly things which doesn't show up as much in screenshots. Like working on the radar modelling. But some things do show in screenshots. I've been working on updating the HUD a little. First of all I've increased the resolution of the HUD texture, and I've made sure it remains the same size (relative to the screen) no matter what resolution you use. Though the higher HUD resolution does look a little squished when you run at 640x480... Do anyone still use that low resolution? Also the radar is now able to show target markers on the HUD (if you enable the C-scope button on the radar MFD page), which looks like this: Also for the Terrain Profile Mode (which is mostly for navigation in bad visibilty) the radar will draw profile lines on the HUD (also only if the C-scope button is enabled) It will also show obstacles and hazzards the radar detects, like buildings, antennas and power pylons: I've also worked a bit on the MFD pages, but mostly smaller changes. One which has had a bigger overhaul is the weapons page, this is for the gun. It now allows you to select burst size and put the gun in fixed mode (where it only fires straight ahead).

Really incredible how you are implementing things into the HUD view. Can you explain the c-scope actually is. I've seen that button on the ORT, but never bothered to find out what it was.
This will be so awesome to fly when it comes.

I guess I'll have to reserve that function for the ORT I'm trying to put together then. Ah, you are making me very happy. I had to pay close to $300 Canadian in an Ebay duel to get my copy of EECH. Sure I was swept away by the competition of the moment, but I would say that with everything you have done I have gotten every penny of the $300 dollars in use and enjoyment. Never regretted it and it looks like you will be taking me even further away from any possible regret. I have gotten so much enjoyment out of this title because of you. Thank you for all of this.
