Rotary Wing

AH-64D Pilot

• 

  1. Bind "Push To Talk - PTT" and "Special Intercom Select & PTT" to two different HOTAS buttons. (preferably right and left on a 4-way switch with push button)

• 

  2. Create a profile named "AH64" and setup the options under "CONTROLS/COCKPIT INTEGRATION" as shown above. There is also an option to select an audio file for the PTT in the Apache.

• 

  3. It is recommended to balance the radios to be heard on different sides. If you did bind the Intercom in step 1 so you push right, balance the radio to be heard in the right ear. Then if you hear someone talking in your right ear, press right on the switch to broadcast on that radio.

• 

  4. In DCS under "control options", bind "PTT/RTS Switch - RTS Depress" (preferably to the same switch as in step 1)
