1. Contact via Website & Discord

MC3 Nicholas Tenorio, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsThis website provides all registered users with the ability to send private messages to the authors of the articles, to ask questions or ask for help. However, the system is not very straightforward and sometimes the contact information on the website can be outdated. Therefore, we recommend that you install Discord and connect to our Discord server. There you can find information about workshops, ask questions or make contacts.

2. Handbook and Guides

We do this on purpose so that a newcomer is not flooded with information and feels overwhelmed. Therefore, although we show you here which buttons and switches have to be pressed to start the systems, we do not yet explain what the individual systems are good for. That will follow in the later courses.

However, we also know that there are different types of learners. Some people want more background information and may even need it to remember the facts better. Therefore, we would like to show you some sources of information where you can find detailed background information.

This is also important in case you are enthusiastic about learning more, but the next course is just not ready yet.

The first place to go is, of course, the DCS module manual. The latest version is usually always delivered with the game. However, if you need to know where to look. It is in the DCS installation directory under Mods\aircraft\AH-64D\Docs. It is very detailed and extensive.

Since the AH-64D has not yet been released, you can download the Quick Start Manual here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/documentation/AH64D_flight_manual_en/

3. Videos

Here is a list of tutorials for the AH-64D:
