In this DCS: AH-64D video, we’ll explore our AI crew for the 64 that we call George. George is a common reference to auto-pilot systems in real aircraft.
When we developed this system, we did so with helicopters in mind that pose a unique set of challenges compared to fixed wing AI crew command systems. For instance, you must be able to rapidly input maneuver instructions, it must not block any of our forward view, it should not require head-movements, and it must be flexible to adapt to different flight conditions.
While there are certainly some very capable AI command systems for fixed-wing aircraft, they would not translate well to helicopters.
At early access release, George will be available for both the pilot and co-pilot/gunner, or CP/G. You will be able to fly and entire mission from just the pilot or CP/G seat.
During the early access period, we will continue to improve and refine it, particularly the automatic sighting and engagement abilities of the CP/G.

I’m glad the different call outs are being used.
George sounds like a cool guy, like flying with a REAL Apache pilot👍
@@SsgtHolland Sounds like Barundas (sp?) not Casmo??
So is there like no ground stab in the TADS?
Yes!! Finally, C=64's Gunship, Amiga 500's Gunship 2000 and PC's Longbow 2 will have a deserved rest here :)
GS2000 was great fun with good variety. I can still remember limping home sideways in my shot up Apache :)
FINALLY! We have waited for so long ... Many thanks to everyone involved for bringing this awesome aircraft to DCS!
Wags I don’t think we thank you enough for putting out all these videos for the valued fans that you put a lot of effort into, even before the Apache and other modules, it says a lot about how you treat us players and pilots. Thank you wags!
Fabulous stuff Matt, thank you for your amazing work over the past two years on this product. You have been incredible and the whole team are truly grateful. Kind regards, Nick
Thanks Nick, it all flows from the top. We couldn’t do this without you.
Thanks to both of you. Looks to be well worth the wait!
Yup. Jeepers. Looks amazing and I can’t wait to be terrible at this one. Crazy how far this stuff is going. This and the F-14 blow my mind. Watched a 3hr video to learn how to sit in the BACK SEAT of that one. This looks to be one of the best things I've personally ever seen. Right now the F-14B and Supercarrier hold that trophy. But this looks amazing. Really exciting.
Theyre practically expansion packs themselves.
@@MsRifle Oh definitely. I think so too. Every plane so far, the Bell Huey, Harrier. F14, soon the Phantom... They all come out so good with so much detail and TLC. It's elite, difficult snob Simulator perfectness. I stink at all of them but I love them.
GEORGE IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING MATT
It's going to get a little bit confusing trying to remember all the short and long commands in the different modes, but it doesn't even begin to approach the complexity of the TSD, so I think that'll be my starting point in this beast. Well done to Wags and the whole team!
Now where was that battery switch again ......😜
Start up, handling, flying her to a hover stop, position holding, landing... then moving forward to the TSD etc.
ITS COMING TOMORROW I CAN’T WAIT! Thank you ED!!
I'll be honest, wasn't expecting George to be so versatile and able to be controlled. This might be your finest work to date ED, good game.
Love how you have made George so similar to Petrovich. Makes learning an muscle memory so much easier. Well done.
I’m so excited for this to be released and you know why? This is the first time in a long time where I’ve actually heard happiness in Wag’s voice as he puts out these informative videos. That’s the mark of a happy producer and a man that’s proud of his teams work. This one is gonna be one hell of a module. Get ready to ride the dragon!!
I was driving my truck , got the notification from UA-cam , pulled over my truck , watched the video , went my way after that , and 2moro I will get a day off because we are getting a patch !
I can't wait to fly this beautiful module in VR!
With friends and George!
I'm afraid that, currently, you will be disappointed; see my question/reply to my question.
I can't wait anymore. The Apache will be so much fun to learn.
Matt thank you for making this happen. I come from the time of playing Gunship, Gunship 2000 Jane's Longbow, JL 2 etc. You have made an old man very happy.
You did it… your crazy SOB you did it…
And you helped. Will be fun having you yell at me in the Apache :D
@@GER-Thorgs well I dared him to start a video with the head popping up and “hey everyone…”
After 20 mins in the Video he says "and now we're telling geogre to..." I was like so used to your voice = casmo my brain said: No. You're telling Casmo to..
I was sure the head staring back was response to all of the "why is George staring forward lifeless and not moving" comments
@@stevenhardy5414 no it was a hundred percent from a pic he posted to the SMEs and I said “you have to start a video with that!”
The George AI is really the crown on this landmark module.
Thanks to Matt and the team for all your hard work, all the extra hours, all the time spent away from your families to bring us this gem.
You make our dreams come true, Eagle Dynamics!
Tons of dedication and sweat in a single module. Thanks one more time ED!
Release it now it’s Thursday already in Germany 🇩🇪😜! No but seriously can’t wait!
Great work eagle dynamics and wags thanks for the awesome and outstanding product
My soul and body are ready but my mind is gonna explode!!! amazing job ED and thank you Wags for all the time and effort you put into our common passion over the years. Tears in my eyes ''
Thank you all at Eagle Dynamics for your fantastic work on this module!
The devlopment of DCS over the last 10 years has been outstanding and if you showed me this then and said this was the future i wouldve been gobsmacked. Great work, i cant wait to see what another 10 years brings to the DCS platform.
Hm... I bought it for a random from Discord last year, now thinking i will get it for myself as well, looking at the AMAZING HARD WORK you guys and gals put into this module at EA, Well done team, keep up the best of you!
OK, purchased and got my friend excited about AH-64D as well :) Two more Apache virpils.
I don't want to go to work tomorrow! Thanks ED for everything you have done. DCS is amazing
Georgy boy is here! Love the voiced AI. Cheers to the entire team that made this happen ♡ You guys are the best! So...now the hard part, getting somehow off tomorow at work 🤣
I am reliving my childhood sims. First with Jane's F/A-18, now with Jane's Longbow!
Very pleased with the amount of george functionality. Can't wait to take it for a spin! The hype is real.. Thanks Wags for all you do for the community
The final piece!!! Wooot. Thank you all so much.
3 things,
1: Will George have chatter like jester,
2: Why is he switching tads to tv when guiding the hellfires and,
3: Will there be an option for showing George commands on-screen like with the mi24 sight help/commands?
4:52 - That's so cool...the detail on that rifle are SO good. Great work, everyone! Pre-ordered today!! 😁
Well considering it comes out tomorrow
@@Pimps-R-us Today*
@@theonefrancis696 any idea on time?
@@JamesW81 Usually drops on morning Pacific time, afternoon in europe
@@theonefrancis696 Thanks. I'm at work but I had the Mrs turn the pc on to check for the update and nothing happened!
Very nice. Glad you guys took the extra time to add necessary polish. Really looking forward to this release.
It's no wonder the AH-64 took so long to come to early access... This is AWESOME! Well done!
I love the touch to the intro, where George’s head just pops up like a jack in the box.
Ohhhh very nice snippet for George. Definitely pumped. Definitely gonna recreate a lot of Longbow 1 & 2 moments with this module!
OMG! tomorrow!!! Many thanks to all Eagle Dynamic's work! I have faith that all the wait and money invested will have been worth it! I'm new to combat aircraft simulation (but, I already have a good experience with the Black Shark) and this is my game of the year for sure!
This is way cooler than I feel some people will appreciate so far I can see how useful this will be.
This is excellent WAGS you guys have knocked this out of the park.
So, I just took off my VR goggles and oh BOY! Wags, absolutely outstanding! By far my favourite module and ive got most. This thing is above outstanding, well worth the wait. If i could id buy you all a b33r. To the whole team, excellent job, well done.
Are these recent openings a clue as to just how much fun Wags has been having with this module?
I'm pretty sure Wags hasn't been sleeping for weeks now lol
This looks excellent. I don’t plan on utilizing George as I find multiplier/ multicrew to be quite engaging and rewarding but this definitely looks like a great addition! Nice job ED.
Can’t believe you guys are done with the last video before EA release. Great job to everyone on the team! Looks like a purdy bird 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thankyou ED for all your hardwork and dedication ! 🤙🤟
Similar to the already Excellent Mi-24 AI, excellent for those of us who will switch between the two modules. Looking fantastic, well worth the wait.
I am so proud that I am sticking to this game from first Flanker that I had on 3 floppy disks in compressed .arj files and played in MS DOS. I played all versions of that franchise for over 25years, including LockOn etc. Back in the days we had only Su27 to fly and just look at this video. I cannot wait to fly Apache and to enjoy in what ED brings us. Wags your videos are clear and easy to follow and without them we will die lot more and frustrate as well till we learn hard way.
Simply outstanding! You all at Eagle Dynamics never cease to amaze me. Bravo.
You are a bold one General Wagner. I should say, this is definitely the George we're looking for...and curse my work schedule so that the release is not on my day off, what inconvenience.
Awesome! Absolutely loving this! It's been an incredible ride following DCS for the past five years! So much accomplished. Wags, do you ever sit back and think "Wow this is how far we've come in 25 years"?
WOW! Brilliant, just brilliant! I pre-ordered this baby on day one. Still waiting for my Varjo Aero to ship (purchased in December). I don't even want to touch this until I'm in VR again 🧐 Awesome job ED, thanks Wags!
We've come a long way from the Apache 64 that I used to fly on a Commodore PC! Sure nice to have George along on this mission 😁
Thanks for all your hard work Wags and the ED team. Gonna be a fun weekend taming this beast!
Hey George, feel free to dump all the gun ammo into that truck. Just to be sure, we got it. Wags and ED, thank you so much for all your hard work to bring us this.
This is going to be so incredible in VR!
Still downloading but cant wait to try it out thanks to everyone at ED for still putting out so much content during such a difficult few years ❤️
This looks amazing and complicated in equal measure. Gonna be great!
Awesome Wags! Downloading and Ready to fly here. Thank you all at Eagle Dynamics for all your hard work specially during these difficult times. Stay safe.
such badassery! This video was SO cool ! Thanks Wags and the entire team for making the 64 a reality in dcs world. This is going to be epic! OH BOY OH BOY cant be long now :D
When george said “slide right” I couldn’t resist saying ‘two hops this time’
I haven't played combat flight sims since Falcon 4.0 and Longbow 2 but I've downloaded DCS and preordered this. Realised with MSFS that it's the figuring it out for weeks bit which I enjoy. The videos are excellent. Thanks.
What a masterpiece. This is much better than I envisioned.
That was great Wags, thanks heaps for showing this. The immersion is right there & well done ED for all the work that's going into this. I initially wasn't going to invest but after watching your vid I was sold. I just pre ordered at a very nice discounted price. Looking forward to this module, thanks again 👍🙂
I’m so happy to hear George’s voice! This greatly benefits immersion 🙂
Here is a summary for those who want a TLDR version (I took notes!) :
Hide/Show AI - Push button
AI Commands (Pilot)
Modes = Left Short
CMWS:
Armed = Up Short
Bypass = Down Short
H-B:
Altitude Up = Up Short
Altitude Down = Down Short
Orient To LoS = Right Short
Transition Fwd/Back = Up/Down Long
Transition Left/Right = Left/Right Long
(Hold to move then release to stop)
FLT:
AirSpeed + = Up Short
AirSpeed - = Down Short
Altitude Raise = Up Long
Altitude Lower = Down Long
Heading Left/Right = L/R Long
(Hold to move the HDG indicator to the desired heading then release)
Orient To = Right Short
CMBT:
Alight To = Up Short (TADS: where the cursor is looking)
Break Left/Right = L/R Long
Break 180 = Down Long
AI Commands (CP/G)
Weapon Select = Right Short
Toggle ROE = Up Long (Green Text: Fire at will, Yellow Text: Manual Consent)
Missiles:
Missile Mode = Right Short
Missile Trajectory = Right Long
Slave TADS to sight = Up Short
Target List Up/Down = Up/Down Short
Track/Store Target = Right Short (If in Manual Consent, command fire to shoot)
Rockets:
Rocket Quantity = Right Short
Gun:
Gun Burst Limit = Right Short
Quick question Wags. In combat mode, if you order a 180 turn, will he avoid obstacles like buildings and hills or does he just blindly follow the command? Thanks for all the hard work and dedication!
To a degree, but using George is a skill. Garbage command in, garage result out.
@@MattWagner Thanks Wags!
@@MattWagner garbage in garage out got it!!!!
Awesome job team! One thing though, George was creeping my wife out LOL. His beady little eyes shifting to and fro in the front cockpit!
Well, George is a great shot! Air to air kill with a Hellfire… against a friendly Apache.
Waow this ai work is incredible! Didn t expect it to be that advanced in early access. Amazing work Eagle Dynamics!!
Like the other systems, a lot depends on how skillfully it is used.
Can't wait not long left till release
Check the description!! It’s coming tomorrow!
This looks superb, George will be quite easy to control and with great possibilities from both seats!
We think so to, but it is a tool, and like all tools, its effectiveness will often depend on the user.
@@MattWagner It sure is, but the same goes with all great modules in DCS, learn to use them and they are all superb but they all take time to learn which is a huge part of the fun. 🙂
I'm not going to lie..... I cried a little tear of joy
amazing. Hope the Mi24 receive the petrovich voices soon also! And an option to hide only AI voice Captions in special options. Thanks!
Hey Wags, with the CPG's helmeted head "bobbing" when you say "hello there!" and that it's called "Hover Bob-Up" mode, I'm gonna call my CPG "Bob". Tip of the hat to Robert Mason too...
This look to be super easy to use. Nice job ED!
It is!
Wow George is much more evolved from Petrovich already! Great Job Ed Team 😍🥰💪😎
We learned a lot from Petrovich and improved and adapted it.
will you be able to use the CPG seat and have George fly the heli when on a multi player server? or will it be like the hind and not allow the player to swap from pilot to CPG seat?
Yeah I really wanna know about this myself
Interesting question. How is it done in the Hind, IIRC you can set "Solo flight" to basically deactivate the MP seat. It "should" allow to switch seats, as well. Requires some testing when it's released I guess.
Matt, absolutely incredible. You and the team have something real special here. Thank you so much for all of your hard work.
Will you be able to fly from the CPG position in muliplayer with George AI in the pilot seat?
That face looking round at the start freaked the b'jesus out of me. Like The Exorcist in an Apache.
Imagine flying along and the CPG's head suddenly turns 180 degrees and stares at you. I'd probably smash my monitor.
Awesome work guys! Cannot wait to try this out!
I love Georges deep bronkz "Slowin dien!"
George just killed me. We were cruising down a valley at 40kts, roughly 700 feet, while I was scanning with the TADS. He just randomly nosed up to mabye 60-70 degrees and started to fall down to earth backwards
I can‘t wait to get into this new module and take off with it. 🤩👍🏼
The only thing I would like to mention here is that I think every single AI crew pilot in DCS misses one crucial ability, to enable people to fly whole missions on the second seat: following waypoints.
Without that feature the human player still has to manage too much of the flying itself on the second seat.
While you can be in the front seat and command George as Pilot to get you to where you want to go, there are limits. For NOE and hard maneuvering flying, it's best for you to fly and then jump into the CP/G seat near the target, and have George handle the hover and translation maneuvers.
Me: "When is the Apache coming out?
ED: *"Yes".*
Tomorraw
Mr. Wagner....what kind of intro is THAT? T_T Just kidding....I so can't wait!!! Are u serious with this AI? This is the best thing I've seen in simulation since F-14 RIO. Like totally revolutionary thing! How smooth the AI controls the helicopter with little corrections.....sorry for my expression.....but thats fucking amazing!!! Incredible job on this. I can't even imagine how much work, passion and talent is behind this.
childhood dreams coming true. great work, thanks ED
Today’s the day? Holy cow! ❤️🍻
Feels like I pre-ordered 4 years ago. Happy to see it coming soon.
AS long as he doesn't start yelling " I AM THE GREATEST " George and i are going to get along just fine, awesome job.
Yeah.... that would not get old super-fast.
@@MattWagner Gday Matt, just wondering if there is a way to set a waypoint route for George to follow as pilot?
@@BK45AUS Not the route, the Direct To.
@@MattWagner all good, was hoping to set a route too a town and orbit and just let him fly so i can learn the tedac
„Slide to the right!“
„Slide to the left!“
„Crisscross!“
And Again, Wags thank you so much for your hard work on those vids. AND of course thx to ED and all personall that worked on that beast :) after 26 years there is a amazing sim of that bird again :)
This is so cool. I can't contain my excitement.
Great job ED and the test team. Looking forward to it 🍻
Thanks WAGS great video, were 9hrs into Thursday here in AU.....just saying :)
with you brother!! Are you in the west?
Man that 30mm gun sounds SPOT ON. Perfect!
I spent like 4 hours with the wrong trigger cover binded lol was so confused but gave me time to get better at flying her shes amazing
Could we get discrete bindings for each George order? Would make things like setting up a VoiceAttack profile for him much easier.
Particularly bindings for things like "Speed Up/Down 10/20/30 kts", "Heading left/right 1/5/10/45/90".
VoiceAttack can be quite clunky when binding things that normally require holding a button
Have you looked at Vaicom Pro? It's got an extension for the F14 with tons and tons of commands for Jester. I bet there will also be one for the Apache
@@Kathlanus I looked into it briefly a few years ago but felt I'd rather stick with my own manually created commands. I didn't really feel like learning all the ones from Vaicom. And now that it's a payed tool I have even less interest
Well time to get my flight setup ready again, good job guys this module will be awesome like the rest
I hope the tech developed for George would help making Petrovich better too.
Was wondering (hoping) the same thing. I'm sure he will. George certainly seems smoother in his flight transition, not to mention the extra commands, voice-over and verbal feedback. Some outstanding work right here!!
Definetly. Feels like Petrovich was a test and this is the result.
this is gonna be great, its definetly gonna be worth the wait
Pretty awesome! Thanks Wags, and thanks to ED
