I would like to know,if there is a really good AH-64 Apache available.
Can someone recommend one?
Thank you.

The only FsX native Apaches that I know of are the Virtavia models. I have the 'D' model and it looks and flies good, but there's no systems modelling at all. (And they botched the roundels on the Dutch version....)

Edit: There's the Area 51 Longbow as well: http://www.area51sim.com/apache.html

I have all the FSX Apache's I can find (Ferry is correct on available ones) and they are good visually but like many helos in FSX the flight model is lacking. None are amazing though or of Nemeth/Aerosoft/Cera quality, especially in the interior and the FDE.
You may want to check hovercontrol and see if there is a HTR file available for the Apache.

Another option would be if someone tweaked the FDE like they did on the A51 OH-58D Kiowa. That bird seems much more realistic since then. Good stuff.

Still wanting a -G model Cobra myself. Don't forget to check out the A51 AH-1F(s). Classic attack chopper.

Yep the old alpha sim ones aren't too bad. It's not as the same standard as most recent choppers, it has very little clickable things but its simple to fly

I felt they went a little silly with the panel grime and shadows from the Area 51 version, it detracted from the overall product and didn't last long on the system.

When I got the alpha sim version there where 2 packages one without and one with the radar, I'm not sure if they both come in the virtavia package,

Yes, Virtavia offers the "A" and the "D" in separate packages for FSX.

Thank you,guys.
Seems i will have to wait for a Nemeth or Milviz Apache.
I have no money left to throw it out of the window.
Thanks again.

But wait, the Abacus model was missed:

Also came in the "Chopper Havoc".

Reviewed the Virt/AS "A" mode on Flightsim/Pilot Shop. Since they make both and neither has any avionics modeled, you choose.
