DCS: AH-64D | Rockets Part I

In this DCS: AH-64D video, we’ll talk about use of unguided rockets. The AH-64D uses the M261 rocket pod with up to two pods per stub-wing. At early access release we’ll include the M151 high explosive, M229 high explosive 17-pounders, M257 illumination, M274 smoke, and M282 multi-purpose penetrator 2.75-inch rockets.
While it is possible for the CP/G to employ rockets, it is very seldom ever done outside of training. Rather, rockets are the domain of the pilot. The CP/G earns their keep by providing accurate laser ranging and steering commands to the pilot via the Rocket Steering cursor and TADS. This is termed coop mode, and I’ll show this later in the video.

    The reason the rocket steering cursor moved right when you looked right is because HMD was the sight, and driving the the cursor. It assumes you're always looking at a target, and tells you which way to steer the aircraft to get on target.

    Head tracker is a good start for orienting your brain bucket in the general direction of the target (CUED LOS), but on a windy day, simply put your LOS on the CUED LOS, and steer the aircraft left or right as indicated by the I beam (rocket steering cursor). When the LOS, CUED LOS, and rocket steering cursor are on top of each other, pull the trigger. The Cueing Dots tell you which way to look to get on the CUED LOS when you're looking away from the target.

    I have a question. Does the Apache fly more like the Blackhawk or the Huey? What I mean is, the Blackhawk's flight control system compensates for the most part for rotor torque, not requiring the pilot to have to constantly input pedal to counter that rotor torque. Whereas the Huey requires more pedal for more collective. When I fly the Blackhawk, I can pretty much let go of the controls and it stays on heading for the most part and I am wondering if the Apache is similar in it's flight characteristics. Thanks.

    Because while the aircraft is in aerodynamic trim, the flight vector is off to the right (note the FPV). So, you need to compensate a bit. If there is wind, you'd also adjust your offset.

    Hey guys, please don't take this as criticism. Just an observation. . Noticed that in interior footage, the rotor shadows appear to move on the TADS sensor housing at the same rate as the blades. In reality, the pilot or any observer viewing with the naked eye (or even HMD) would not see a moving shadow UNLESS they were viewing via a camera where the frame rate would determine how fast that shadow (and the blades) appear to move. Is that correct?

    So to clarify the logic, the I beam is giving you steering cues based on where your HMD (sight source) is pointed?

    Except for COOP, set attack azimuth based on the headtracker, not the I-beam. Rockets don't care the azimuth angle of the HDU except for COOP. The I-beam is NOT a CCIP type aiming device.
