People tell me that a lot.

Yeah, the Apache is a day one buy. 

Part of why I wanted new pedals.

I'm going to kick so much ass in that thing...assuming I can successfully get it off the ground.

You know Virpil has a collective.....   O:-)

Virpil collective looks sweet, just don't really have a setup that could accommodate a collective and fixed wing throttle.  Dcs Apache may change my mind on that, I could see the excitement getting me to mount a dedicated collective.  I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing modular throttles where you can change em from fixed to collective style and back.  Winwing Orion has that option on their throttle.

Yeah, I can't accommodate a collective either.  I still play at my work station.

I really want to do something like Jarhead did and have a separate station off where I work where I can do my simming.  Right now just not doable. 

I honestly don't do a lot of helo stuff, only the Huey in DCS.  The Apache will change that for sure.

I'm looking forward to seeing your set up, Andrew.  I don't have a space for my obutto cockpit right now, so I'm stuck not simming until I can come up with a set up that doubles as a work station like you.

I'm actually considering an Obutto later.  I'd have to swap my "49 ultrawide to mount on it and get another monitor for my workstation.

I'm probably going to invest in a Virpil throttle and control box before I do that.

The Apache will be a day one buy for me too, even though I am more a fixed wing kind of simmer.  :peace:

I have to be honest, I'm far more interested in flying Russian jets and helos than US stuff. 

Having said that, the Apache is a no-brainer for making money.

I'm highly tempted on the Hind. 

My Crosswinds shipped today and have a delivery of next week.  After I give them a spin with the Huey I may try the Hind out.  That's honestly been one of the things keeping from more Helo action, my current rudders just don't give me enough control. 

Still at the order confirmed on my Virpil Mongoose.  Going to put the truth to their advertisement that backorder time is 1-2 weeks now.

Shit, yeah!



I am probably behind the times here and mentioned before, but when is the expected pre order and availability to actually play date?  Any time soon?
