It feels like yesterday that the A-10 was released, ED’s most advanced and modern module at the time. Then not too long ago the Hornet, a beautiful step into simulated carrier aviation. Now it’s the Apache. Nothing like what it’s planned to be exists. A full fledged sim of one of the deadliest attack helicopters ever made. You’ve come so far Eagle Dynamics! Congratulations on the success and thanks for the awesome experiences we all have playing DCS!
@@EagleDynamicsTV It looks amazing. You could use it to shoot a movie and people might not realize it was a sim. I was particularly impressed by the exploding truck. What a great shot. Detritus was spinning and flying and arcing away in a very realistic fashion.
Sometimes people manage to make Arma 3 look like IRL, the capabilities of DCS… Especially that scene where the apache is seen from the dark side because the sun is on the side that you‘re not looking at is iconic
Simply amazing I never thought ED would try this just due to how hard it must have been. You guys have proven your team truly has no limits as to what they can do. Please give all of your programmers a huge thumbs up for all of us that love combat flight sims. Well done ED I’m a customer for life.
Ever since I got divorced I had to sell my gaming rig and haven't played DCS in years now. However, I watch every one of these videos about upcoming releases. This looks like such a masterpiece! Absolutely gorgeous.
Definitely cannot WAIT to fly the Longbow! Janes Longbow 2 was one of my all-time favorite flight simulators, but I know it won't hold a candle to the accuracy of the DCS flight model and aircraft systems and realistic operations. I CAN'T WAIT!
😂 Yep I’m a Janes Longbow nut as well, did so many hours in that game/sim. I agree this will be on a whole new level. I’m hoping there will be a "hand holding" mode to get me started though as I know I’d struggle slightly to get going, I can see me spending two hours just figuring out to switch on the engines! 😆
@@andrewharper4296 I wish I had that time. I remember doing that to the ka50, a10 and jf17. I will wait until I do for this one. Im not sure on how complex this thing is, and I know squat about helis 😂
Purchased indeed !! Well done Wags! Proud to have played a small part in the wonderful growth that is DCS world with the Shark and the A-10C. Best wishes to you my man. Tyger.
Pre-ordered few days ago. This is my first pre-order in DCS (all previous purchases have been when the modules were in Early Access already). I just got into DCS seriously only in 2022 and this "game" grows on you the more hours you put into it. The sense of accomplishment of learning just one more system or skill and becoming proficient in it has no parallels in the gaming industry. The cockpit starts to truly feel like "home". Familiar. It's even more amazing when you watch real life footage of some of these and see that it's all the same and you understand all the HUD symbiology and what each button does. The Apache and Cobra are my 2 favorite attack helicopters from childhood, and cant wait to be able to fly it. Modules like these transform the game by essentially adding a game within a game. Eagle Dynamics deserves all the financial success for what they are accomplishing and allowing us to live our dreams from our computers.
At AirVenture 2021 this year in Oshkosh I noticed that an Ah-64 was on display in Boeing field. I already knew the heli was in development so I walked over to the long line and waited for my chance to sit in the pilots seat. When I finally climbed into that beast of a machine I was at a loss for words. I wasn't allowed to even touch the control stick but looking at the amazing technology was breathtaking. When I climbed out, rather slowly, I told myself that I'd buy this heli on dcs the day that it came out. I am beyond excited to learn to fly this work of art that I physically sat in only a couple months ago.
Ummm no, they will continue to push out more money making products while doing absolutely nothing to better the ground AI, or the path finding, or the trees that the AI can shoot through. It's eye candy and big hollywood music to sell to people who will most likely be bored with the helicopter in a few weeks and move on to whatever else they push out the door.
Come December I can say goodbye to what little social life I have left. My days of playing Gunship on the spectrum, 2000 on the Amiga and janes longbow on the PC, memories will all come flooding back, only this time in VR!!!!
There is a rule, that creators not answering comments 2 month after video posting... But i need to say, that i entered DCS this year after first unsuccessfull attempt to figure out how it works.. And now. Hundreds of hours spent, bunch of modules bought, and i need to say - this game is awesome. And now i, probably, experience the best period of its lifecycle. I bought this heli in the day when preorder just started. And i hope the day after tomorrow i will be able to experience it. Keep going, guys. You do awesome job. Appreciate effort you put in your project.
wow what an amazing trailer. Looking forward to fly this beast, ty for creating all these amazing modules. Im not a pilot but i love aviation and you guys/gals have created something really special with DCS. Thanks for staying close to the community aswell.
I haven't been interested in an AH-64 sim since Jane's Longbow since imo nothing came close to that level of realism since. Here I am almost 25 years later and you've got my attention.
I own 32 modules and this one not gonna do exception and will have the honor to be my 33rd for my 33rd Birthday this November! xD Great joob ED and thanks for the amazing work!
Stunning trailer, and the modelling of the Apache just looks amazing. I loved Jane's Longbow so much back in the day, I cannot wait for this to arrive.
Update: Bought a copy for myself and for my friend. I also bought him the supercarrier module and he got himself the Hornet. We have been training in the Hornet and counting down the days until Apache's release. Really excited for this one!
I know it's awesome but i must also place a critic. The game (game engine) needs to update on the particle effects, really. Unfortunately the explosions look like the ones from games of 15 years ago...
Imagine if radio comms like this triggered when targets were in site!! When about to launch from the deck!! When taking fire!! When damaged!! When low on fuel!! OMG the immersion
Good comms and brevity is important. You can actually set this up in the mission editor with sounds files and triggers by the way… However I prefer flying with people where that sort of comms / radio transmissions come organically.
Another masterpiece from ED , trailer rocked my world, it adds so much fun to life that you wait for an ED modeul to be released, especially when you know Apache is about to arrive isn't? I love it
You guys must have been working on this for years in secret, because this was quick! My baby is coming soon! I still somewhat preferred the Mi-24 trailer, but still, top marks!
Now I know why it takes so long to create each DCS module. It probably takes a team of 10 people 6 months to make the most incredible pre-launch trailer video for each module. Well done DCS and take my money that I was going to waste on food or the children’s education.
Another video for me to watch about 20 times or so. Cudos to all of the ED team who made this amazing masterpiece of a virtual aircraft possible for us combat sim pilots to experience. Great job. Edit: I have already made an extensive mission to play as soon as this module releases. Can’t wait!
Well it was painful and I have to live without my left nut for the rest of my life but it was worth it, I have pre-ordered the Apache. I still have my right one though if something else I want shows up.
I....This......My dog exploded......This is hands down the most epic thing I have ever watched on TH-cam. I am begging you, give me a little taste, I don't care what. Let me valet it into the hanger for you or Windex the windows with a newspaper......Please just give us SOMETHING!!! ANYTHING!!! I hope I don't come off as some sick wierdo, but does anyone else think that DCS should consider adding a dismemberment system? Or a basic blood sprite that shows up on FLIR at the very least.
Eagle Dynamics: Please for the love of god and shrewd marketing, make a 2-liscence combo on steam. Even if it were a small discount, It would make it some much easier to convince a friend to dive into DCS.
Oh damn, the Longbow! Will it get the wingtip Stinger launchers too? I can see some wacky hyjinks involving Apaches ambushing fast-movers in those cases.
@@lockongreece_jester8213 Keep in mind, I will hold you personally and legally responsible for that statement now ;-) Thanks for your opinion though :-)
One of the best trailers for DCS I’ve ever seen! Also that soundtrack was sick.
I expect to see some vids with you and Ralfi shortly after launch ;)

Man I can't wait. My dad was an engineer for the Apache for a period of time. I have his Apache lapel pin. Awesome.
The boys at Microprose have tears in their eyes I'm sure, how far we've come. You should be proud!!! 👏👏👏
I can't believe this is a game/sim/training sim. It's gorgeous. Never seen anything like DCSW
Amazing, ive been waiting for this since Janes AH-64D Longbow!
I'm actually a little emotional, having been under fire and seen these in action. Wow. This made me feel a little more alive.
OMG , It really happens ! 1986 Gunship C-64 , 1997 Jane´s Longbow , 2021 ED DCS AH-64D ! The Circle Closes ! 😎🤙
Definitely cannot WAIT to fly the Longbow! Janes Longbow 2 was one of my all-time favorite flight simulators, but I know it won't hold a candle to the accuracy of the DCS flight model and aircraft systems and realistic operations. I CAN'T WAIT!

This is great. Perhaps this will drive the necessity to improve the infantry/ combined arms mechanics.
Improved infantry is planned. Thank you - Scott / bignewy
I think they mentioned updating the infantry animations, most likely to facilitate this modules realism a little better
@@adamgoral5517 I must have missed that announcement. That’s good to hear!
@@EagleDynamicsTV Will it be possible to control them first-person style (similar to MANPADS)?
Ummm no, they will continue to push out more money making products while doing absolutely nothing to better the ground AI, or the path finding, or the trees that the AI can shoot through.

It’s going to be funny seeing the skating crouched RPG soldiers on the flir.
Oof. I really hope they work on the combined arms / infantry mechanics.
@@BasictoFinal That HAS to be the next enhancement to DCS. What would be the point of shooting static targets with a weapon as dynamic as the apache?

Absolutely brilliant trailer! Best yet.
I agree. Glowing Amraam excelled again.... Smashing. Many thanks and kind regards, Nick
1:09 and 2:00 are about as real as it gets... gave me chills. Can't wait to see how she compares to the big rig.
Got goose bumps! Typhoon and Apache comding to DCS!? God yes!
This along with the A-10C II Tank Killer & the F-16C Launch Trailer, this is really up there as one of the best trailers for DCS I have ever seen!
That... was... incredible! I'm about ready to buy a copy for my friend so we can fly together!
