Kneeboards for AH-64D Apache for guided/unguided weapon employment.
These are not official procedures, just what I've put together as a quick reminder on how to employ various weapons on the AH-64D. Kneeboards included:

The AH-64D kneeboards need to be placed in the AH-64D Kneeboard folder, for example:
C:\Users\<your name>\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Kneeboard\AH-64D_BLK_II
(NOTE: the last two letters at the end of the path above are i's, as in "capital eye-eye")

============================================
Update: 12/27/2023: I've added a three-page kneeboard for employing the AGM114L radar guided Hellfire using the FCR from the CP/G seat:
AH-64D CPG - AGM114L HELLFIRE WITH FCR-1.png
AH-64D CPG - AGM114L HELLFIRE WITH FCR-2.png
AH-64D CPG - AGM114L HELLFIRE WITH FCR-3.png
NOTE: Similar to the recent kneeboard below, as more FCR modes become available, including LINK mode (that will slave the TADS to the FCR NTS), I will probably make additional updates to this kneeboard.
I've also made a very minor update to the following kneeboard, correcting part of the description of the IHADSS overlay display:

============================================
Update: 12/24/2023; With the addition of the FCR (GTM mode), I've added a two-page kneeboard for employing the AGM114L radar guided Hellfire using the FCR from the pilot seat:
AH-64D - AGM114L HELLFIRE PILOT WITH FCR-1.png
AH-64D - AGM114L HELLFIRE PILOT WITH FCR-2.png
NOTE: As more FCR modes become available, including LINK mode (that will slave the TADS to the FCR NTS), I will probably make additional updates to this kneeboard. Also, I plan to add a kneeboard(s) for employing the AGM114L radar guided Hellfire using the FCR from the co-pilot (CPG) seat, but it may take a bit longer; thus, I wanted to provide this kneeboard sooner rather than later.
============================================
Update: 7/12/2023; With the introduction of the AGM114L radar guided Hellfire, and the addition of the image auto-track feature for tracking moving targets, I needed to review a few kneeboards. Due to some added and (hopefully) clearer updated procedural steps, I made the following updates:
1) Replaced the following kneeboard:
AH-64D - AGM114 HELLFIRE GEORGE.png
With the following two kneeboards:
AH-64D - AGM114 HELLFIRE GEORGE-1.png
AH-64D - AGM114 HELLFIRE GEORGE-2.png
Please delete the first kneeboard listed above, if previously installed, and replace with the two new ones above.
2) Replaced the following kneeboard:
AH-64D CPG - AGM114 LZ HELLFIRE.png
With the following two kneeboards:
AH-64D CPG - AGM114 HELLFIRE-1.png
AH-64D CPG - AGM114 HELLFIRE-2.png
Please delete the first kneeboard listed above, if previously installed, and replace with the two new ones above.
3) Updated the following kneeboards:
AH-64D CPG - M230 30MM AWS-1.png
AH-64D CPG - M230 30MM AWS-2.png
============================================
Update: 3/24/2022; After some time flying the CP/G seat, I've added some kneeboards for using the Hellfires and 30mm chain gun from that position, and additional George AI related kneeboards. These include:
AH-64D CPG - AGM114 LZ HELLFIRE.png
AH-64D CPG - GEORGE HELPER INTERFACE - PLAYER AS CPG-1.png
AH-64D CPG - GEORGE HELPER INTERFACE - PLAYER AS CPG-2.png
AH-64D CPG - GEORGE HELPER INTERFACE - PLAYER AS CPG-3.png
AH-64D CPG - M230 30MM AWS-1.png
AH-64D CPG - M230 30MM AWS-2.png
Note: On the "AH-64D CPG - AGM114 LZ HELLFIRE" and "AH-64D CPG - M230 30MM AWS-1/2" kneeboards, for WAS'ing the Hellfire and 30mm gun from the CP/G position, I've specified "Weapons Action Switch - Missile/Right", and "Weapons Action Switch – Gun/Up", both on the Cyclic Stick/HOCAS (i.e. same mappings as the pilot). However, you can also map/use the "LHG Weapons Action (WAS) Switch - M (MISSILE)" and "LHG Weapons Action (WAS) Switch - G (GUN)" keys, both on the TEDAC Left Handgrip, respectively.
