ah64D Longbow

[luap]

can you change somting in this cofig so I have the optics (for the pilot) from above the rotor

It doesn't work; you cannot have optics from above the rotor. The only way you can do it is by making a fake turret to the rotor (like on BAS's Kiowa) that handles & moves the optics model, but then you cannot have a moveable cannon (like you need on the Apache).

So I'm afraid there's no way to do what you want. Sorry

[Cpt. FrostBite]

to add something to this; the longbow has no "optics" above the rotor; the disk is a RADAR only!! It's not a camera mount like on the kiowa. That should solve your problem (although not the way you hoped it would)

[KyleSarnik]

Hes right, I just saw something on TV about it

But someone should make an apache longbow with 16 hellfires, gives you more tank killing ability  ;D

[Cpt. FrostBite]

Someone should make an entire AH-64D lonbow pack with diffirent load-outs
