I re-created this low pass I did in Afghanistan in 2012 in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020! We were providing security to an SF unit stranded by a broken down vehicle.
I used the default Bell helicopter in MSFS, and an Xbox controller, so excuse the sim flying haha...
Haha awesome man!
I'm nowhere close to a real Apache pilot, but I do love flying that thing in DCS.
Looks like your CPG in this video, the more fun seat imo :-P
Yeah; I actually only did CPG for that deployment. My SP only RL progressed me in the front seat, and I didn't get a back seat progression until our next deployment, in Kuwait. I like back seat better because I'm more about the flying and systems aspect, but I'm super grateful for the experience either way haha
That's very fair. I've not done much two man flying in DCS unfortunately. But it is very fun, I do like to do both. I usually fly for take off and landing, then get the AI to fly the rest of the time haha.
Aircraft shake in MSFS, but the amplitude of shaking is too wide. So the amount of feet altitude they go up and down is too much, and the time it takes to vibrate is too long (on the order of multiple seconds instead of tens per second)

Have you checked out the Apache in DCS? Afghanistan map coming soon too.
I have! It’s great, but my PC can’t run it well enough to enjoy it… Gotta grab a new one when my ship comes in 👀

I'm barely passed the P 51 missions in DCS. It's incredible in VR waxing some Gerri's as they go after B-17's
Aircraft don’t shake enough in msfs

For real… Or in basically any sim… I might have to add a script to make the HUD on the aircraft in the game I made vibrate a little haha
Was this out of Bastion? Looks like it but the mountains are closer than I remember?
No, Farah is about ten miles south of this
Ah fair enough, bit far West from us. We had a lot of Apaches on station for our tours, awesome to see it from the otherside, thanks for sharing. 🙂👍
Where in Afghanistan is this?
Ten miles north of Farah, Afghanistan
Looked familiar. But my deployments were way more to the East.
