Nice video, with all the important stuff covered. Remind people that they will need to flip up the radio squelch buttons to avoid the static noise on the radio. Keep up the good work mate, love the video's as they always hit the mark.

[@josefwitt9772]

I've really only used the Apache for pleasure cruising... need to get over the learning curve and do cool things in it some day. If hunting a buddy in the Kamov is fun, it's gotta be even better in this thing.

[@Madnot4]

In my opinion the apache is only hard to 'fly', operating it is simple, the tactics used are also very logical/intuitive. Dive into it soon if you haven't it's so much fun.

[@Golyra]

What a nice tutorial! Imagine doing all that with a more "interactive" and "talkative" ATC. Thank you for your videos as always!

[@dcbc9619]

Love the channel Andrei! Keep the great vids coming!

[@hipgames]

Thanks! Will do!

[@Tradiejoe284]

Don't have the AH-64D yet, but I can tell this is very simplistic and doesn't follow a whole checklist. It just simply shows you how to get this thing up. Thanks, if you have more tutorials like this for ATG missiles, Unguided rockets, cannon, CPG and tutorials with the simplicity of this please let me know

[@Kestrel38]

You have a really wonderful talent in making very basic stuff fun, interesting and entertaining. Im reasonably competent in the Apache but just really enjoy your content. Looking forward to more!

[@hipgames]

Aw thats so nice of you. Thanks for your kind words and support. It means a lot to me. I am planning to release more content like this every week.

[@corsair3224]

your tutorial is very well done ! a real example of school with great visuals and good pedagogy. Kudos to you Andrew ! Personally I'm a villain flying mi-24 but I followed until the end ! Thumb anyway and Congratulation.

[@hipgames]

I know how the MIG-24 makes you feel like a villain, but you would be one of a kind. Thanks Corsair, hope you are well!

[@danielu2143]

Haha you're so funny ... great video !

[@cavedog5206]

Another interesting and informative video. Will put the Apache on my wish list. Thanks again for all the hard work you do.

[@TrainEnthusiast69]

Nice job as always Andrei!

[@OLIV3R_YT]

Keep it up!

[@hipgames]

That's the plan!

[@RaisinBran]

I’m so excited to get into this vid! I love your monthly DCS updates and I always wished I could grab some tutorials from you!

[@hipgames]

Thank you Brannn, we started the tutorial series a long time ago but you can understand that it takes time for it to be a watched content. I will continue to push for the tutorials once views and demand is bigger.

[@RaisinBran]

@@hipgames I’m off to watch the rest of them! I very much enjoyed the 64 tutorial, looking forward to the others!

[@remingtonsteele3493]

Very interesting and helpful tutorial 😃👍🏻 Like another guy already said, you really have great talent to make stuff interesting and entertaining 👏🏻😊 Keep it up, Andrei 😃 I like it very much 😉😎✌🏻

[@noraswatinfotainment]

Good content!

[@manolsen4868]

Great video😊

[@dreaminginfraviolet]

When aligning IHADSS, you just need to press the cursor Enter button. When you start alignment the cursor automatically moves to the button that confirms alignment, so it's easy to confirm :) (it's the weird crosshair circle on the MFD)

[@nuclearhunter227]

Nice Video! It would be great if we could get a startup Video for the KA50 Blackshark 3!

[@hipgames]

That would be cool! Maybe one day when we get our hands on it

[@tentacle209]

Thanks for the Tutorial 😀

[@hipgames]

You're welcome!

[@cornbread5144]

*** Just wish the Apache has TACAN , or am I missing it somewhere. Great Video!

[@ttdsi5745]

Very capable helicopter, best in the world usa

[@jonny1789]

When you are boresighting your IHADSS you're cursor will automatically be on "b/s now " so you just need to press your cursor in and no need for a keybind. Otherwise great vid as always

[@hipgames]

Good to know! Thanks!

[@RU1601]

😊Great More of this plz

[@hipgames]

More to come! Its not as prime time like the other shows but hey, it goes from time to time

[@gehteuchnixan4156]

Robbie Tank not activated^^ otherwise very cool Video :)

[@MisterMannIndy]

Great video, HIP. I really like how you show split screen of cockpit and external views. How are you getting both recordings? Are you using a track file replay by chance? Thanks!

[@hipgames]

Yep, and was just lucky the track worked. Doesn't keep up sometimes with certain modules but it seems the Apache works well in replay.

[@stalhuth]

Hello Sir, where do you get all those cool ground decorations, ground crew men, etc. ?

[@hipgames]

Well we showcase many addons and mods in our series so they are part of multiple packs. I will try to link here something that may help

[@hipgames]

Thanks 👍 Rupesh is fast today

[@AIRWARFAREGROUP]

Hey Andrej, one of our viewers just got the Apache and as soon as he unlocks the tail wheel at idle collective, the aircraft spins left...I tested it and the same for me too. This didn't happen a month ago...could you test it? ~Juice

[@hipgames]

Yes I was about to post a video about it tomorrow. Juice you are the best! Thanks for another confirm.

[@pethell448]

What Ground Assets he use?

[@dylancalheta6219]

my apache has a habit of swinging to the left on the ground at zero throttle and I have to have a consistant 15 percent opposite rudder. again no cyclic set and tail wheel lock on. Secondly I takeoff but the aircraft tilts to the left and I crash, twice so far.....

[@Airzz-ok5sj]

Hey can you give us the list of the mods you used on this video

[@hipgames]

Best advise is to check our addon spotlight series, the latest videos contain all mods used.

[@romanostrov3040]

Its Great >W< but Laggy >W

[@nexus888]

The Apache uses a lot of VRAM. I struggled when I had a 3080 as when it exceeded 10GB the GPU would just go to 100% most of the time and killed the fps. Upgrading resolved this issue.

[@julian3533]

The apache looks like it has achne
