Nice shots!! But the apache isn't ugly. It is graceful in a blocky way... the lines just scream power.

There are a lot of a/c that are ugly, yet still look really good, e.g. the Handley Page Victor. They make for good screenshots aswell!

That last shot is excellent, the clouds really give it a sense of realism.

I said "ugly" in quite an affective way ;)
I really love that machine!

The Apache....never ceases to amaze me. I see you used the ol' bird to its full potential without destroying anything!!!  ;D
Nice shots, a good way to start your life in SimV.
Cheers  ;)

The Apache is more about Functional Brutality...

If you want ugly...try the Havoc...come to think of it, I don't think there's a model for the Havoc...any designers want to step up to the plate?

Wow I say.

The third one of the waterfall is just stunning my boy, stunning.

For some reason, it just doesn't look like an FS screenshot. It doesn't have that everything is textured the same thing going on.

I can't wait for my computer to grow up and produce some quality.

You can find it on Hovercontrol.com.
Make a search for "Apache", you'll get the AH64_v2 made for FS2004, as well as a model update for FS2002 users :)

That copter is great looking, the virtual cockpit is really pleasant and complete, and the flight dynamics are allowing the same kind of behaviour I could see on real apache videos !
