1. Might we see a more functioning KA-50 cockpit with all working gauges? I think this was planned, but Sockzien didn't implement it before the release. I don't think he's around anymore. There's certainly plenty or reference material now that DCS is available. 2. Would it be possible to model the AH-64E (prev known as Block III)? In theory - Yes. But getting detailed information to model it would be difficult as it's still very new. 3. Could the Longbow Radar be modelled as an add-on weapon to the AH-1Z? (I'm thinking no) It probably could be modelled as payload. But is it confirmed as being available for the AH-1Z? It would need coding changes as well as changes to the 3D model. 4. Would it be difficult to model infantry squads? In what sense? I was thinking of trying to model infantry as payload for flying insertion missions as part of my Blackhawk projectI realize this game is nearly 13 years old, and what has already been accomplished is incredible.
Age is just a number

If we are talking about the future, I think 2 things would made this sim much much better. - Flight models I still have a feeling like I move on rails sometimes. Maybe a bit of head movement driven by the inertia would help to feel the whole movement better, without making new flight models:) - Graph Engine
Both of them are huge ammount of wokr, so I am just happy with the things I already have, thanks for all the work invested!

Anyone plannig create cockpit for Ah1 cobra/super cobra ? The AH-1Z is already done. I think it would be good to focus on updating FM's. How about approaching Fred Naar, the creator of great FSX helo FM addon - HTR? I've seen him posting HR-based FMs for ToH choppers on BIS forums and asking about implementing HTR into DCS on ED Forums. I've instantly thought, that maybe he'll be interested in implementing that to EECH as well. Question is could it be done?
S! You should ask him, it couldn't do any harm. And having some new developers working on things would be good.

I was going to do that, but I'm not a coder by any means, so I don't know, if or how would it be possible to implement the HTR to EECH. I thought, I should mention this to EECH community first and contact Mr. Naar later or even leave that to someone more competent, who would know technical possibilities of making this come true Htr would be a great option! Particularly, the flight model is already done for dead combat helo.You "only" need to implement to eech. Sure! And if it would work similar to FSX HTR making new FMs via cfg files would propably be easier, than coding it into EECH source. But again, I'm no coder so this is just my guessing. S!

Sorry to say it, but EECH needs to look at payware to bloom the resources and talent to completely revive the game. Kind of true, BUT: With great pricetag comes great responsibility. An on/off spare time affair is way more attractive to everyone involved.

I thought, I should mention this to EECH community first and contact Mr. Naar later or even leave that to someone more competent, who would know technical possibilities of making this come true You could just contact him anyway as a start. It doesn't mean you have to be a developer. Contact him asking if he would be interested in doing some work to port the work over to EECH. However, I read that the source was compiled into a C++ DLL for another flight sim, so he might already have something that he would be able to release to the EECH devs that could be integrated. I would gladly pay for a kickstarter that involved something based around EEAH/EECH. I was thinking kickstarter, but I think making it commercial would invalidate the licence under which the source code was released. Although I don't know who would now be checking it. However, this thread has inspired me to start learning more about DirectX 9. I have a library of books on the subject available through my work, and I've already started reading one. I don't see any reason, at this time, why the GFX couldn't be upgraded. It's just the time needed to do it that is limiting. Is there nowhere that we could appeal for a kind hearted graphics developer to come on board and help us out? The only payment would be plaudits.

It was already spoken about it here a year or two ago(dx9) I do not remember by whom, and the results were very bad. The same transition on DX9 gave nothing, because everything looked very ugly.Probably in the thread about the ogre was talking about. Here http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3127576/2

Here http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3127576/2That's the thread I've just been reading. I don't think the problem was that it looked ugly. I think it was that there were problems that they couldn't resolve. It was never fully changed over to use DX9.
