DCS: AH-64D | Image Auto-Tracker 

NOTE: The "unused switch" is another name for the "MTT Promote" switch.

Lots of Easter eggs in this one. Thanks for keeping us on our toes Wags. So many exciting updates lately.

Finally 1200 rounds for the cannon. Thanks a lot for that! Now out of major functions we are now only missing radar capabilities!

This is a ridiculous amount of work. Thank you ED for your effort on bringing us this level of system detailing. It is one thing tracking multiple targets with a radar signal, but doing the same with video...oh, boy, that's really amazing.

Awesome! Thank God we have a company making stuff like this for us! Thank you ED!!!

That is properly cool! I’m loving the Apache to bits. I can’t wait to see what we can do with the FCR and longbow system.

Didn’t realize how far in development the Sinai map was!

Apache has been my favorite module since its release and it's only getting better and better 😍 Great to see progress on the 1st person pilot body!! Congrats to the devs for this amazing module. Exquisite work 👌 👏

As an Egyptian, I can't wait 😁 Great job 👏

I love it! Can't wait. Now, if we could get the SAS Saturated situation under control! lol Or at least a way to mute the warning tone. It's now a staple of flying the Apache and I suppose it's just one of those necessary evils of using that aircraft. Even resetting the trim for 3 seconds doesn't seem to work anymore, or maybe it never did.

How the hell is someone able to program things like this and the whole DCS....that's beyond my comprehension. Amazing job. I love Apache.

I'm currently learning the AH-64D, you guys did an amazing job on that module!

Can't wait for Egypt!

As always, DCS just keeps getting better and better! Gonna have a blast unloading those 1,200 rounds on unsuspecting infantry 🤘

OML, I love seeing videos from Wags. Always dropping good stuff.

Very cool, the pilot view being centered on the TADS was great, no more sitting on the LH seat rail, hope this translates to the default VR view.

@Wags My apologies... I was really intent on being wow'd by the new AH-64 features but was instantly distracted by the pyramid silhouette! I don't know why I didn't realize Giza was being developed, but WOW!! Oh and yeah the AH-64 presentation was cool too.

OMG Thank you so much for this, ED! This is going to make tracking multiple targets so much simpler than creating a Stored Tgt point for each vehicle!!

This is amazing! Multi track is really useful, especially when we got the Hellfire Limas :).

Can’t wait to engage some convoys with this! Thanks for the video!

Casually flying around the pyramids... well done wags and team cant wait to try it

Yep incredible- wonderful job ED

I can't wait to get all started up with DCS as a former 15R flying the Apache will be amazing

Finally get to try it out today, great work ED! 🤟

The intro to this video, brings back memories from long bow 2. "If you don't know acronyms, you will now"

Finally!! Thank you so much ED!

I love it but the most important thing ED should add is the 1200 capacity for main gun ammunition, the 300 is such a killer for infantry based missions where you wanna blow stuff up for fun and kill infantry :(

Did you track any mummies? Heard one is on the loose

That is great Wags! Thank you for this content. This is getting serious

Ah so it CAN track targets and all that! Excellent! ^^

im so happy that we are finnaly getting it!, also , great vid as always wags

Pilot models look dope!

Glad to see a new video Wags!

Awesome, looks like a huge improvement in capability. Will George be able to use this? I've found that his target tracking abilities can be unreliable in some conditions, would be cool if he could use the lmc/track

Bug report: Strange terrain anomalies there at 0:05 😚

Glad to see this feature coming! This is a big one for sure!

The Egypt map!! Thanks Wags!

When the Apache's TADS can track more targets than many radars hehe

Sinai looking good!

There are lots of Virtual Apache Gunners who open a Bottle of Beer right now, Matt :)

Is there any possibility of getting an update on how far along the development of the radar and AGM-114L is? :)

This Sinai map looks cool

Very similar to how the Raytheon camera works for the MQ-9. Sans all the moving target indicator boxes for other moving targets in the scene.

Sinai map spoted 👀

holyy, map looks great

Good God, I am running out of buttons... We need affordable consumer TEDAC grips. 😁

nice Sinai map ! :D

Thanks Wags for your wonderful tutorials! Still haven't given up on Modern Air Combat...... There has to be some interest in something between Ace Combat and DCS (but closer to ED/DCS) 🙂

Oh man, IAT, MTT, and full load 1200 rounds of Chain Gun? Bout time! This is gonna be good. Just need the FCR and the 114L's and we're all set and loaded for bear. Great job as always guys 🍺

@Wags: Nice to see that many fixes for the flight model/SAS are included in the next update.... will it also include fixes for the desync bugs? For example, the desync bug of the TADS crosshair between CPG and pilot that has been present since the release? Absolute gamebreaker for multicrew...

Time to order your 2TB M.2 drive now...... :D

Can you use IAT to spot on/hold a position of terrain or does it require a vehicle to work?

Thank you, Santa!

this looks great! i would assume that this is very usefull for helicopter to helicopter A2A if you are using hellfires. question not directly related to IAT function: will we get a fix to multiplayer multicrew? currently as CPG in multiplayer you cant create or select waypoints on the TSD and other waypoint related things

I have never clicked on a DCS video so fast lol! Also, where are the pyramids you see in the beginning of the video?

I like how the character model has a slight movement animation. Do the thumbs match your control inputs as well?

RIP to my controller's remaining buttons lol

My Depression has been cured Thanks Wags :D

Please fix the issue with the CPG and the gun that the CPG lasers the correct distance to the target again. It doesn't currently work in multiplayer. Many thanks for your great work ❤

Excellent ;)

Awesome!

Can MTT be used with the Hellfire Ripple mode to attack two targets in quick succession?

One question: If I lock onto a target and need to do a little retreat to avoid enemy fire (thus losing focus on the target). Will the IAT still have in memory the point where the target was last seen?

Wow! If the Shkval could be updated so that it could lose tracks due to contrast limitations or line of sight interruption... well, I'd order a Blackshark IV. It might seem odd, but having something be overpowered can be less enjoyable than having it have limitations (I'd love to have to switch to manually correcting the Shkval in low light conditions etc.)

Will george be able to keep actively pointing the nose towards the target in order to keep a moving target within constraints? It seemed work in the video, its why I'm asking.

Will George automatically use this function or will it entirely be for a human CPG?

Hmm, so the track being maintained while out of the FOV suggests that the system is using digital zoom rather than optical (i.e. it sees the wide FOV but is only showing the selected portion to the operator). Would this be correct?

What happens if you track a 4th target? Do you get a track or is the first target dropped?!

Best person in the ED team by far. Ty wags

Thank you!!

What's the magic wand button on the controls page?

Hi Matt. Very informative vids. I was wondering, when will everything that is in the beta version become available to those of us that run 2.7 not beta.

Can you only fire on the current primary target if you have multiple targets designated? Would I need to cycle through the targets making each one "primary" before I can fire on it?

Wags flexing the Gizeh Pyramids right away... The IAT looks good. But I was expecting the thing to keep on slewing anyway after dropping the track completely behind a building as if we were following it with the "manual" LMC though.

Huh, what are those PYRAMIDS OF GIZA doing there, Wags? :P Surprised to see Sinai is in a more advanced state of development than I thought. Still plenty of work to be done, I imagine, but good to see nonetheless. IAT question: As demonstrated, if a track is obscured behind a building or some such the track is eventually lost. If the track is outside sensor FOV (and you have the target indicator on the side ot the TADS screen indicating the target's location/direction offscreen), what sensor is tracking that target if it's no longer inside the FOV of the TADS? Or is it simply an inertial estimate and it will go to obscured/low confidence/lost within the demonstrated time frames if you don't look at the target/update its location for long enough?

Hey Wags, great vid and now I have it a quick question. At night using FLIR it works a treat but in the daytime less so. Even if I fiddle with the gain etc. I'm guessing this is a contrast thing and it would be better to use the linear compensation during the day and this at night? Does that sound correct or am I doing something wrong? Ps. The new bodies are amazing especially in vr and I love the hand movement when moving the ihadss. Thank you to you and your team.

Whoa Gizah plateau!

Just Casually flying past the Giza pyramids, what a tease you are

I don't know which I'm more excited for.... more Apache enhancements or Sinai.

WOW!!

With the implementation of mtt does that mean that atflir can now have the proper offset mode implemented?

NICE PYRAMIDS!

Kneeboard for the Syria map would be fantastic...

The Pyramid!

Pilot body finally incoming? Looking forward to the next huge Apache update!

Really excited for this and the upcoming Fire Control Radar. :D

Amazing work. How could you end this video with the targets still alive, though?

I'm expecting some Hellfire trickshots to hit youtube preeeety soon

That looks like Sinai peninsula in first scenes yes.

When will the quick start guide be updated with IAT and MTT information?

Matt, sorry but I have more questions after I saw the movie then before. What's is the use of multiple trackings ? Can I ripple 3 missiles off ? Does it automatically slew to the next target when I hit the first ?

How many tracks can we have at once, is it limited to 3?

Does it work together with LMC to do lead calculation for the Gun and the Rockets for moving targets?

Was this a preview of the MTT or the Sinai map?

Hi matt, I looked at your Linkin info. too funny. in 1984 I interviewed Maj Steeley (Microprose SW) Hunt Valley MD. AH-64D AN/APR-39E(V)2 is there MRWR function?

Full Magazine!!

Hi Matt. We need to be able trigger the end mission on landing on ground or aircraft carrier in the mission editor. Please have DCS work on this. Thanks.

Is Egypt added to Syria map, or it’s own standalone map?

If you pay close attention, the pilot body moves a bit as if the pilot is breathing.

Nice pyramids
