LEARNING TO FLY THE AH-64D APACHE! - DCS World NEW Attack Heli First Look!

[@CasmoTV]

Good flyin with ya, Drew. Hopefully we can do it again.

[@saltyfloridaman7163]

I'd like to see the apache take on a fighter aircraft in an environment that the helicopter could use for cover

[@D00kerT]

I feel rude asking, but you got fired Casmo? Or is that just a joke sort of?

[@mitch3384]

Sorry if this is a sore point, but how come you got fired as an Apache pilot?

VR is such a huge help in all DCS aircraft. It's not quite there yet for video editing purposes, but for flying yourself without worrying about sharing your screen, wow!

Good to know. I just want to train and prepare for flight school and this seems like a really good helper with that.

I have flown the A-10CII for 500 hours now in DCS. So I figured its time for a new aircraft, and man did I underestimate the difficulty of flying the AH-64. First hour of the A-10 I was flying around and landing no problem. 4 hours into flying a heli I am terrible still.

[@mr.jimjam3443]

THEY FOUND YOU!

[@demonman1234]

I just got it like 2 days ago and without watching any tutorials on the weapons accidentally figured out how to use the gun and the hydra's... Just because I love the gun's head tracking and wanted to use it in DCS. After I learned how to use those I'm now learning more about how to actually control it.. so I kinda went backwards. You're supposed to learn to use it as a vehicle before a weapon, but I chose as a weapon before a vehicle. LOL

[@KamikazezMyGuy]

Only drewski can make a bunch of short clips of helicopters sitting on a runway look epic

[@moosespeak6140]

Awesome to see those 1st Cav patches on the Apaches

[@shamrocks521]

I absolutely love the Doug Demuro bit. Apache looks like a great new addition to DCS.

[@getous]

Best intro yet, at first I thought I had accidently started several videos, as I had several apache tabs up...

[@xAoshisanx]

Looks like a clean job that is really well done. Especially the HUD visor effect deal. 👍

[@hamster6978]

Today is a good day, Drewski posted a new DCS video. Fun fact, even better day, it's about the AH-64D!

The fact that you can see that hook moving with the helicopter in the cockpit is so cool.

been watching you for a while now and i love your content, keep it up Drewski!

[@DaJokrz]

I havent played a flight sim since IL-2 was originally released...bought my first joystick to play that game. Havent played a flight sim since. The more i watch you play DCS though, the more i am tempted to spend on some peripherals and give dcs a try. Keep the vids coming, appreciate them all 👍

[@RaXXha]

Having never flown a helicopter in DCS before, what's it like flying them with a regular hotas meant for fixed wing aircraft? 🤔

[@traviesun3049]

It's fine. I'd just recommend changing your spring to the weakest you can if your HOTAS has changeable springs. Other than that if you're used to flying fix wing with your hotas. The transition will be easy enough

[@jonapple2325]

@@traviesun3049 why would you change to the weakest spring? My least favourite part of all HOTASs is that they dont give any resistance?

[@Ked_gaming]

I like to invert my throttle axis (for collective) so it looks more like down to up Helicopters are hard, but a lot of fun ! The hardest part is understanding what the aircraft is doing with all of the stabilisation systems so you don't try to overcorrect all the time

[@NeePAPA]

@@jonapple2325 Because with helis you will almost never have the cyclic in dead centre position. Example would be the huey. If you want to take of in a hover you will have to slightly pull back and to left on the cyclic. otherwise the heli will just tip and roll over the nose. As well as soon as you pick up speed and transfer into transition lift the heli will do the complete opposite and pull pitch up so you will have to counter that by slightly pushing forward on the cyclic. Long story short unless you constantly trim the heli or have a heli with autopilot you will almost never have the stick centred and it can become a hassle to battle the stiff springs. Hope this gives you some insight.

[@hernerweisenberg7052]

@@NeePAPA Thats part of the reason i like to fly the Mi-8 a lot. You can "zero" the stick or trim the aircraft with the push of a button, go get a coffee or take a shit and when you come back the thing is still flying even if you dont use the autopilot :)

[@malachiviloria9145]

hey drew, been a fan for a while, started watching in 2016 when you had done quite a bit of Arma 3 milsim with Jamie and Via. I see your hard work and how much you have grown. dude the amount of work you put into your videos of pre production and planning, learning and setting up controls. filming and organizing between other people to post production and editing hours and hours if content into 10 minute clips like this for us to enjoy. much respect and will continue to be a fan. keep up the good work.

[@wilbuzllf5057]

Nice one 🙂 DCS is so rewarding with helicopters, been flying the Ka50 and Gazelle a lot as well as the Hind and this is just another step up. Difficult to master but very rewarding with rotor birds in DCS. And the future with the Apache looks truly bright with the FCR and other systems, not to mention the defensive capabilities with IR-missile warning and auto release of flares. This sets it apart from the Ka50 and other helicopters and makes it much more survivable.

the A-10 is my goto plane to have a good time in DCS, sure its a bit more complex, but overall nice and slow gameplay, nice to calm down after a day at work.

[@slandshark]

The A10C was the first module I bought and it's still my favorite. Feels really comfortable to jump into and fly/attack with. That said, after more than 2 years of flying it off and on, I am still learning more things about it every time I fly. It took a LOT of hours to get comfortable, but every step was rewarding.

[@runsnaked9253]

the apache probably has some sort of electrical stabilization system. The huey is pretty damn difficult.

[@potatopilot16]

the SAS in it is adjustable and at its default setting its definitely easier than the huey when it comes to rudder but when you disable the SAS its an absolute NIGHTMARE to fly for obvious reasons lol

Been playing DCS for 2 weeks. My first model that I learn to fly is the KA-50. Your video "dangerous apache gunner simulator" was so cool that I had to fly a heli myself. It's so damn hard to learn and not a good idea to start with a heli. Especially without a joystick, which I just got yesterday (whooop whooop). But the first kill felt so good.

I bought this module on a christmas sale along with the f-15c and a-10a (the FC3 models). I intended to fly around in the f-15 for a while before I would get into the apache, but my main goal in DCS is heli's so I booted it up, did my best to understand what everything did (starting up wise) and tried my best to fly around for a bit. I am terrible atm and have so much to learn, but ive had a lot of fun with it, so despite me being new to DCS, I think im gonna try stick with the apache and see how things turn out. I also need to learn the gunners seat so I can go fly with others
