Greetings Pilots!
This is an AH-64D Apache Course is a simple but effective training mission that you can use to practice and improve your craft from being a "Zero" to a "Hero" on the digital battlefield.
- There is no scripts so you never have to upd ate anything.
- Aircraft are se t up so you can multicrew with a buddy if you want.
- All aircraft are hot start, minus range 12.
- Simple & Effective kneeboards with step by step instructions for following.
- The mission is setup in 12 different ranges, each range has its own spawn. So if you want to do range 1, sel ect the range 1 spawn. If you don't know how to do something check the kneeboard for the range you're on.
- Each range you spawn into will give you a quick brief fr om range control.
- Air spawns set to Active pause so there's no fumbling in the cockpit when loading in.

**EDIT** Pushed my V3 version as of 9/28/2025.
- Upd ated the rockets used.
- Air Spawns are now se t to Active pause.
- Kneeboards updated
- Kneeboards are in correct order
- Adjusted the PID range so the targets are closer together for easier searches.
- Units "Hidden" from MFD so they don't fill the CTRLM page.
