Been a LONG time since I last played this - lost my cds so bought AH and CH on GOG, followed dual installation procedure and then installed the 1.16 mod. All good so far but did I miss a step, when I last played this yonks ago the Apache had a really cool cockpit. Now I seem to have the original 2d cockpit, when you look around the sides are black. Is this something i have to enable in EECH.ini? I've got resolution set at 1920 x 1080 if that's relevant

Any help appreciated - thanks! Great to see people are still on here smile

Hi mate

Any pics of the cockpit? Mine is looking like this (see attached) if that's something you are looking for. You did mention dual installation, are you referring to version 1.15 and 1.16?

Cheers
Pat

Cheers. I don’t get that cockpit - just stock apache 2d. If I pan the view to the side everything is black

Dual installation I meant installed apache havoc, and then Comanche hokum

I reinstalled 1.16 again but no difference. I must be missing something I guess!

Hi Jimmy,

Could it be one of the textures settings in eech.ini ?

Cheers,

Andy

Thanks - I just tried again and made sure it's not an apache A. @Andy is there something within eech.ini to turn on 3d cockpits for apaches (and maybe other helos? )

Jimmy

Do you have this folder? ...\cohokum\graphics\textures\cockpit\ah-64d-cockpit ??

Is it only happening for the apache cockpit or for other copters? And is it during free flight or campaign?

Hi Jimmy,

I don't think there is a specific setting for 3D, but there are a few for "Textures". Might be worthwhile adjusting them and see what happens.

The other thing you could do it take the graphics settings back to basic i.e. 800x600 low resolution etc and see if anything changes.

Cheers,

Andy

Hi everyone - thanks so much for the responses! Feel a bit sheepish as found out Nephilim was right. I just tried free flight and the AH-64D has the 3d cockpit. I've been trying cuban crisis in campaign mode and just selected apache (it doesnt mention A or D but guess it must be A). Perhaps because i'm on 1920x1080 is why the floor becomes see through. Hope this thread helps someone else in the future but i guess for now case closed!

Baaaaaaa (sheepish)

Glad you got to the bottom of the problem. There's nothing worse than something "almost" working.

Cheers,

Andy
