So with the new engine mod I was fixing the engine MFD to show more info, like I did with the Comanche engine MFD.

But since the weapons page was horribly broken (at least for me), with lots of shades of blue, instead of green as it should be, I decided to fix the weapons page as well. I made a brand new one \:\) This one is modelled after the real weapons page in the AH-64D, and I think it looks quite nice.

So, first this is how the pages used to look:



And this is how it looks now:

I think it's an improvement ;\)

(for comparison here's a very poor quality image of the real Apache weapon's MFD page:
Luckily Jane's Longbow seemed to have it fairly accurate, so I used that a lot for reference, and not just this poor image \:\) )

You are definately fixing up the weaker areas of this sim & I thank you for these updates.

Do you have any other surprises in store for us?

Thanks again

What did you do to sharpen up the MFDs for the Apache? Your modded screens look crisp.

Is that just for Sshot or do they look as sharp as that while running in game.

Oh, did I forget to mention? ;\) I fixed high resolution MFDs for the Apache. And this is for all MFD pages, just not the two I fixed.

Geeeeeeezzz you must have some computerprogramming-skills! (almost typed computerhacking skills like Napoleon Dynamite said \:D ) In a very short time you made some gigantic improvements I think. Thanx

Ha ha awesome....

But you should have mentioned High Res MFDs first. That's even BIGGER news than fixing those 2 screens. That's like the holy grail. Gonna love flying the apache with those.

Now how about that Havoc MFD???

Just checking if someone would notice \:\)

It's not really an MFD, now is it :p It only shows FLIR or radar, so that's not very multi ;\)

But to the point, I will probably fix high-res for it at some point as well, but right now I'm a bit busy bug fixing.

Yeah its not rly a MFD. But since the Havoc has even less situational awareness, those 2 are even more important to have \:\/

P.S. Would you be looking into more of the avionics fixes in the future?

Oh, yes. That's one of the main areas I'll concentrate on improving at this stage.
