AH-64D - Status

We have made tremendous progress on the AH-64D. Release ready items include the external model and internal cockpit models, pilot and gunner high resolution models, external and internal lighting and sounds, IHADS , MPD pages, PNVS, TADS and sensors, 30mm cannon, Hydra unguided rockets, laser-guided Hellfire missiles, the ASE, CMWS, George AI pilot and phase one of the DM.

Despite suffering from the most recent variant of COVID-19 the team has accomplished a minor miracle and the Early Access is very close to being available for release. However, certain aspects still require extra polish notably; flight control system heading, attitude and altitude hold modes, MultiCrew, cold start, George AI co-pilot gunner, certain crew animations and system damage effects.

We understand that our decision to delay the early access release is frustrating and disappointing. Please accept our apologies. Our commitment is to deliver this exciting new aircraft to you in the nearest future, hopefully in February. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Please remember that the 30% discount and extra ED Miles are still available all the way up to Early Access release.

In order to polish the aforementioned outstanding items, we require more development time into the 1st quarter of the year. We fully appreciate how eager you are to jump into your AH-64D cockpits and we apologise for this added waiting time. We are committed to a quality product at release and kindly assure you it is worth the wait.

AH-64D Pilot Development Progress

We have prepared In Development Screenshots of the recent improvements being made to the pilot model, helmet and gestures. Since the last progress update we have reviewed the overall shape based on a real service helmet - it is quite the piece of kit. We are also working on gesture animations for both the Pilot and Co-Pilot Gunner.

The combat uniform of the aircrew is nearing completion and we look forward to presenting you with two camouflage options. The first is a universal early period camouflage pattern, based on or around the 2005 spec. The pilots' equipment will include a bulletproof vest, an unloading vest, a pouch with a first aid kit, an M4 mag pouch, belts, and a radio. The texture of the helmet is made in such a way that you can draw your individual skins, stickers, attach patches and country flags.
