Hello Flyboy,

If you have a video up on Youtube you have tools to track where links get posted. Saying that, I was very famliar with SimHQ before that and thought that if anybody could find use for my videos, it would be someone in the Sim/Game community.

We are like minded in development- Working on similiar things


I have a childhood friend who is a flight instuctor in the US ANG.

I have a YouTube Channel too but never knew about the tracking. Well it's nice that you finally decided to join and start posting.



Really? What are 'we' developing? What are 'we' working on? Something I don't know about here!?



Cheers for the explanations, BattleLab. If anyone knows anything about me around here it's that I ask a lot of questions!

Hello Flyboy,

Thanks for the warm greetings to start posting

On the mater of details... I apologies for peaking your interest. It seams cruel of me now to leave you hanging, but I can't release too much information now. But do promise to release more info when I am authorized to do so.

I took video and pictures that day for reference to build a 3d model of the Apache for use in a real time game environment.

Maybe it would be better for me to look for existing Apache 3d models, but I have found little in anything from the standpoint of usable Apache cockpits in different versions A or D.

Also was wondering what the best resource for cockpit digital readouts and functionality? My buddy only had access to the Apache A model for me and was restricted on saying anything about its operation and flight controls.

Thank you,

Robert-

For the A-model that's easy, as the flight manual is publicly available on the internet (e.g. at http://www.tpub.com/content/ahapache/TM-1-1520-238-10/index.htm). So don't see why your friend had to be so secretive.

For the D-model it's much harder though, as there the flight manuel is still classified.

Arneh,

Thanks for the link!

Robert-

BattleLab - I'm a bit confused, what do you have to wait for authorization on releasing info for? Why are you looking to make a 3D model of an Apache? Are you starting your own sim or something?

And about that link arneh sent you, wouldn't you just love to have the PDF version of that manual, instead of having to navigate a poorly-designed website?

Don't worry about getting me all interested, I am known to be a bit, shall we say, 'enthusiastic' over anything to do with the Longbow especially!

Hi BattleLab,

Thanks for taking the videos...yours are the best that show the cockpit.

LOL yes he's very enthusiastic! He tried to get me to clean my garage for a copy of Longbow Gold lol!
